The 2024-25 NFL season has come to a close, and it did so in spectacular fashion with a monumental thrashing of the two-time defending Super Bowl champions. The Eagles, led by Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts, got revenge, and now the Chiefs are the ones sent home licking their wounds.

O’Connell earned the notable award by beating out substantial competition. Dan Campbell of the Lions was the runner-up, while Andy Reid of the Chiefs finished in third place. Sean Payton of the Saints and Dan Quinn of the Commanders finished fourth and fifth, respectively.

O’Connell topped runner-up Dan Campbell (Lions), third-place finisher Andy Reid (Chiefs), fourth-place finisher Sean Payton (Denver Broncos) and fifth-place finisher Dan Quinn (Washington Commanders) for the award. O’Connell received 25 of the 50 first-place votes and finished no lower than third on a ballot.
