Top 5 Super Bowl winning coaches of all time

Top 5 Super Bowl winning coaches

Winning the Super Bowl and lifting the Lombardi trophy is indeed a prestigious event for any coach. Listing the best Super bowl players of all time might be an easy job, but listing the forgers behind them is not. It’s true that there are no bad coaches in NFL history, though some are better than others. Here is a list of the top 5 Super Bowl winning coaches.

Recently, Betway came up with a Super Bowl all time team consisting of best performers of all time in NFL history. The list suggests how much the coaches have toiled to fabricate those all-time best performers. Their best team boasts the Patriot’s mighty Tom Brady as quarterback, Steelers’ Franco Harris as running back, and 49er’s Jerry Rice as wide receiver. As defensive end they have 49er’s Charles Haley, and as defensive tackle Green Bay Packers’ Willie Davis.

If we look at the list of winning coaches of the Super Bowl we’ll understand  how challenging it is to hold a job even after winning the most prestigious championship in American sports. So, here’s the list of 5 Super Bowl winning coaches of all time. 

Bill Belichick, New England Patriot

Super Bowl victories: 6

Super Bowl defeats: 3

Career playoff record: 31-12

Career regular season: 273-127

Despite his Spygate scandal and his suspicious trip to Bud Grant/Marv levy territory, the reason for putting him at the top is he has won way more Super Bowls than he has lost. In fact, no one has won more games than he does, nobody has played an incredibly long time as he does, and no one has reached the turret of the game as often as he does. More, as a Patriot coach, he has discovered Tom Brady in the most implausible position and turned him into a game-changing superstar.

Super Bowl victories: 3

Super Bowl defeats: 1

Career playoff record: 17-7

Career regular season: 154-94

What made Joe Gibbs outstanding coach in Super Bowl history? He had the competence to achieve Super Bowl triumphs without an elite quarterback, but with three different QB’s. His best teams were the dominant teams and he wasn’t one to take a 9-7 squad on a stunning Super Bowl run. Gibb’s best three were a combined 33-7.

Chuck Noll, Pittsburgh Steelers with QB Terry Bradshaw

Chuck Noll, Pittsburgh Steelers

Super Bowl victories: 4

Super Bowl defeats: 0

Career playoff record: 16-8

Career regular season: 193-148-1

The 70s teams of Steelers are one of NFL’s greatest assets.  The team superseded the 60s Packers and 21st century Patriots with their excellence which comprised an entire group of players rather than a single player-coach tandem. Noll won all the four Super Bowls with Terry Bradshaw at the quarterback. The team changed significantly over the decade with the rules changed to enhance the passing game. 

Bill Walsh San Francisco 49ers

Bill Walsh, San Francisco 49ers

Super Bowl victories: 3
Super Bowl defeats: 0
Career playoff record: 10-4
Career regular season: 92-59-1
It can be said, the game of football was reborn during the 1980s, in the hands of Bill Walsh. It was the time when he turned the passing game to control the clock and frustrate defenses. But, unfortunately, his defenses weren’t appreciated enough for their proficiency. Had he not chosen to retire at the age of 57 the 49ers would have won the next years’ title and 5 years later he might be the greatest coach of the Super Bowl era.

Vince Lombardi, Green Bay Packers vs. Dallas Cowboys, January 1, 1967

Vince Lombardi, Green Bay Packers

Super Bowl victories: 2
Super Bowl defeats: 0
Career playoff record: 9-1
Career regular season: 96-34-6
Lombardi might have ranked higher on the list of NFL’s greatest all-time coaches, but only 3 of his 10 seasons were fit to be in the Super Bowl era. Indeed he has gifted the era the final two of his championship Packers team, including the indomitable 1967 squad. His chance of winning more championships and retiring with even more greatness was destroyed when he was diagnosed with late-stage colon cancer at the age of 57.
