Don Shula won a championship with the Colts, and then won two with the Dolphins.
Andy Reid got there and lost with Philly and is playing tomorrow for a realistic shot to go back.
The last 20 years are impossible to follow trends because of the dominance of the Pats. They literally went 10 years without playing on wildcard weekend. They beat some really REALLY good teams that likely could have given a better data point.
Most SB winning coaches dont coach another team after they leave because they dont leave til theyre done. Shanny didnt win here because he came to a bad organization.. and he likely shifted his focus from winning, to setting up Kyle. Gibbs came back to that same bad organization.
Of the 'current' SB winning HC how many are there?
Jon Gruden-Year 2 of a project
Tomlin-Still in Pitt
Billick-on tv
Cowher-on tv
Kubiak-asst coach in Minnesota
Pederson-still in philly
Dungy-on tv
Coughlin-out of football after exec role
Carrol-still with Sea
Am i missing any? Gruden and Shanny are the only 2 there that had a HC gig after they won a SB

Mike McCarthy, Mike Holmgren, Jimmy Johnson, Bill Parcells. They all got another HC gig after winning.
And how many won? Mcarthy is the pnly active one. Parcells had mixed results but is there any real measurable success?

Watching the conference championships today is always bittersweet.
On one hand, playoff football is awesome.
On the other hand, it just amplifies just how far away the Redskins are from this level.
Damn......

Parcells had mixed results? Twice he was a hair away from being the only coach to ever lead 3 teams to a Superbowl. I wouldn't call that mixed results. And he took all 4 teams he coached to the playoffs, and won the division with 3 of them. He also took all of them other than Dallas to at least the conference championship.
But the culture here is amazing
If you guys are watching this defense of the 49ers destroy the Packers, you can see why I wanted Robert Saleh as our head coach.

49ers fans wanted the dude fired last year though.
Must be all that talent.
Ron Rivera and Del Rio are no slouches when it comes to defense.
If we're smart and add Chase Young to this front and Sweat continues to develop, our pass rush could be just as nasty as the Niners front.
While I do have tremendous confidence our defense improves dramatically with the new coaching staff, I do not put a lot of faith in Sweat, and if I am honest I am concerned about Young's disappearance in both post season games. I keep hearing he dealt with a lot of double teams, but he was double teamed by every single team all year long, and still managed 16.5 sacks.
I had high hopes for Sweat in the sense of the bar being set very high. Coaching was obviously part of the problem and his pre-season injury may have had a season long impact. All that said, the vaunted superior athleticism never seemed to materialize as the season wore on. When I was watching, it constantly looked like OTs (including the average ones) got in close to his body quickly and that he did not have the power and quickness to over-come poor technique. I'm hoping two savvy defense oriented coaches can get him squared away and turn the potential into consistently superior on-field performance.
