Jim Harbaugh opens up as favorite to win 2024 Coach of the Year Award

Jim Harbaugh has opened up as the early favorite to win the 2024 Coach of the Year Award.

Harbaugh is currently the favorite at +550 (bet $100, win $550), per DraftKings Sportsbook. Next is Packers’ Matt LaFleur (+800) and Falcons’ Raheem Morris (+1000).

Harbaugh has been a winner everywhere he’s coached, including at the NFL level when he took the 49ers to the Super Bowl in 2012.

Harbaugh fell short in the big game, so he returned to the league to get another shot to hoist the Lombardi Trophy.

Harbaugh is bringing his old-school mindset of playing fast, physical and gritty on both sides of the ball.

With those principles paired with a talented quarterback in Justin Herbert and key players already on the roster and soon to be added to it, the hope is that he can achieve his goal of a Super Bowl and bring the first to the franchise.
