Will Firas Zahabi ever be nominated coach of the year?

[CereserBr]

So, will Zahabi ever win such prestigious title or not?

 

[Luger]

Edmond is way ahead of him.

 

[Gabe]

I dont really know how they judge that kind of stuff. I would have thought he would win this award several years back when GSP was champ.

 

[chitoortiz]

I'm surprised he never has.

 

[BruceLeeOnTRT]

He needs to produce another champ. Or turn a fighters career around.

I think he's probably one of the best trainers in mma, IQ wise, but has a hard time getting what he needs out of his fighters. Not everyone is the student George is.

 

[Rational Poster]

Edmond is way ahead of him.

Edmond is basically Firas with better facial hair. No contest.

 

[raconnor]

who does he have at tristar that is doing better than those at jackson's? sage got derailed, rory always comes up short, gsp is retired..

he'll never get a coaching award without having champs under him i'd assume

 

[Wallop]

Hasn't he got Jessica Fletcher ?
aka Murder she wrote.....

 

[Toco]

its been a long time since he has done something really significant

It's like the Oscars...bunch of people just patting each other on the back for no reason. Pretty meaningless.

 

[Deleted member 490433]

Of course, he's super young.

 

[The Schmoop]

Did bang ever win that? He completely turned TAM striking deficiencies around. Maybe not coach of the year material but impressive nonetheless
