1978 AFC Coach of the Year trophy presented to Walt Michaels.In 1977 the New York Jets won only three games but in 1978 they managed to go 8-8 under Michaels' leadership.The five-game improvement in 1978 was good enough to win Michaels the AFC Coach of the Year award.Standing 13" tall, this extremely heavy award features a playbook, a statue of a coach kneeling while instructing the team and features a plaque that reads, "The Professional Football Writes of America, John T. Riddell Memorial Award, Presented to Walt Michaels, Coach of the Year 1978."Sourcing directly from the Walt Michaels family, this keepsake is totally fresh to market and has been in the possession of the Michaels family since it was presented to the famed Jets coach 40+ years ago.The figure on the front is loose and has been repaired with glue.
