While there's still three games left to be played in the NFL postseason, it's not too early to start thinking about the postseason awards that will be announced next month. When it comes to Coach of the Year, three men remain in the hunt.

Will it be Brian Daboll of the New York Giants, Doug Pederson of the Jacksonville Jaguars or San Francisco head man Kyle Shanahan? Those are the three finalists who still have a shot.

A lot of people want Daboll to win it, but if Shanahan powers the 49ers to the Super Bowl, how could he not get the honor? We'll find out in early February if either of those guys wins, or if Pederson hears his name called.
