Winning a Super Bowl is every NFL head coach's ultimate goal, but only a select few have won it multiple times.
Here, we have a list of the NFL head coaches with the most Super Bowl wins.
XXXVI (2001 season), XXXVIII (2003), XXXIX (2004), XLIX (2014), LI (2016), LIII (2018) and LV (2020)
Longtime New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has six rings, two more than the next-closest head coach.
Belicheck essentially created two different dynasties with Tom Brady under center in New England. The team won the big game in 2001, 2003 and 2004, then went nine seasons without a Lombardi Trophy before winning it again in 2014, 2016 and 2018.
His first Super Bowl win was in the 2001 season when the Pats marched downfield late in the game to set Adam Vinatieri up for a game-winning 48-yard field goal as time expired. New England beat the St. Louis Rams 20-17 in that one.
Belichick's second Super Bowl ring was earned via a 32-29 win over the Carolina Panthers in the 2003 season. Another late Vinatieri field goal clinched that win. The third was in the 2004 season, when the Pats held off the Philadelphia Eagles to win 24-21.
The more recent Patriots dynasty under Belichick began with the 2014 season's Super Bowl, when a late Malcolm Butler interception on the Pats goal-line sealed a 28-24 win. Two seasons later, the Pats famously rebounded from a 28-3 deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 in overtime.
Belichick's most recent Super Bowl win - and likely his last - was in Super Bowl LIII in the 2018 season. The coach helped hold the Los Angeles Rams - who averaged 32.9 points per game that season - to just three points as New England won 13-3.
IX (1974 season), X (1975), XIII (1978), XIV (1979)
There have been three head coaches of the Pittsburgh Steelers since 1969, and Chuck Noll was the most successful. He won four of the franchise's six Super Bowls, and 21 players were on the roster for all four championships.
QB Terry Bradshaw, RB Franco Harris, RB Rocky Bleier, WR Lynn Swann, DT Joe Greene, DE LC Greenwood, LB Jack Ham, LB Jack Lambert and CB Mel Blount were just some of the star players on those teams.
Noll led Pittsburgh to its first Super Bowl win in the 1974 season, beating the Minnesota Vikings 19-6 in New Orleans. The Steelers opened the scoring with a safety and a Harris TD to get out to a 9-0 lead, and they never looked back.
The Steelers repeated as champs the next season, beating the Dallas Cowboys 21-17. Pittsburgh's defense intercepted Dallas QB Roger Staubach three times and recovered a fumble, and Greenwood had four sacks in the game.
Noll's next Super Bowl win was three seasons later, in Super Bowl XII in the 1978 season. Pittsburgh played Dallas again, winning a close game 35-31. Bradshaw threw for four TDs but lost two fumbles. A lost fumble on a Cowboys kick return on their 18-yard line in the fourth quarter set the Steelers up to put the game away, which they did.
The Steelers repeated as champs for the second and final time in Noll's tenure. Pittsburgh beat the Los Angeles Rams 31-19 in Super Bowl XIV in the 1979 season thanks to two fourth-quarter touchdowns. The first was a 73-yard pass from Bradshaw to John Stallworth, and the second was a one-yard run by Harris to end a time-consuming drive.
LIV (2019), LVII (2022), LVIII (2023)
Andy Reid spent 20 seasons as an NFL head coach before winning his first Super Bowl. The man known as Big Red started with the Philadelphia Eagles, reached one Super Bowl and lost, then was hired by the Kansas City Chiefs and won the title after six seasons there.
Reid has formed a legendary partnership with QB Patrick Mahomes in KC. The duo won their first title together in the 2019 season, beating the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 thanks to three total TDs by Mahomes and two by RB Damien Williams.
The coach's second two titles came in consecutive seasons. In 2022, the Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35. The teams kept pace for most of the game, but smart clock management by KC and its defense forcing Philly to settle for field goals twice in the second half made the difference.
Reid's most recent title was in 2023, and it was won in overtime by a 25-22 score against the 49ers. San Francisco settled for a field goal on the first drive of OT, meaning KC knew it would win with a TD. Mahomes marched the team 75 yards downfield and won the game with a TD pass to Mecole Hardman.
XVI (1981), XIX (1984), XXIII (1988)
Walsh won all three of his Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49ers in the 1980s. The legendary coach is known best for popularizing the “West Coast offense,” a pass-heavy, spread-out style of offense seen across the NFL today.
Walsh won his first title in his third season as 49ers had coach, defeating the Cincinnati Bengals 26-21 in Super Bowl XVI. San Francisco reached the Super Bowl thanks to “The Catch,” the famous game-winning touchdown pass from QB Joe Montana to WR Dwight Clark in the 1981 NFC Championship Game vs. the Dallas Cowboys.
In 1984, the Niners went 15-1 in the regular season and cruised to their second Super Bowl victory in four years, trouncing the Miami Dolphins 38-16 in the big game. Montana outdueled Dolphins QB Dan Marino, throwing for 331 yards and 3 TD in the win.
Walsh’s final Super Bowl win as a head coach came in his last season with the Niners. Again facing the Bengals, Montana put on another stellar 351-yard, 2 TD showing, 215 yards and 1 TD of which went to WR Jerry Rice, to earn a third ring for him and his longtime coach.
XVII (1982), XXII (1987), XXVI (1991)
Before he founded his championship-winning NASCAR team, Joe Gibbs was a Super Bowl-winning head coach in the NFL.
Gibbs won all three of his Super Bowl titles with Washington in the 1980s and 90s.
His first championship came in the strike-shortened 1982 NFL season in which teams only played nine regular season games, although the playoffs included an expanded 16-team field. Washington bested the Don Shula-led Miami Dolphins, 27-17, for the franchise’s first Super Bowl win.
Gibbs’ next championship came in the 1987 season, which was also shortened due to a players’ strike, although each team missed just one regular season game.
Backup QB Doug Williams led Washington to Super Bowl glory that season. Williams, who took over for starter Jay Schroeder at the start of the playoffs, powered Washington to three-straight wins over the Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings and a 42-10 win over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXII, with Williams winning Super Bowl MVP.
Gibbs’ last Super Bowl as a head coach came at the end of the 1991 season, again with a new QB in Mark Rypien. Washington led 17-0 at halftime over the Buffalo Bills and never looked back in a 37-24 win.
I (1966), II (1967)
Legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi, for whom the Super Bowl trophy is named, won the first two Super Bowls in NFL history. He won another three NFL Championships before the Super Bowl era.
He led the Packers to a 35-10 victory in Super Bowl I as QB Bart Starr passed for two TDs and RB Elijah Pitts rushed for two more. In Super Bowl II, Green Bay beat the Oakland Raiders 33-14 as kicker Don Chandler made four field goals and DB Herb Adderley returned an interception 60 yards for a score.
XV (1980), XVIII (1983)
Tom Flores won two Super Bowls with the Raiders, and the titles came on either side of the franchise's first relocation.
The first - Super Bowl XV - was with the Oakland Raiders in the 1980 campaign, which was the team's second-to-last in northern California. The Raiders beat the Philadelphia Eagles 27-10. QB Jim Plunkett threw two first-quarter TD passes and the team never looked back.
The Raiders' second Super Bowl win came three seasons later, in the Raiders' second season in Los Angeles. LA beat Washington 38-9, with the Raiders' blocked punt recovery for a touchdown setting the tone in the first quarter. RB Marcus Allen rushed for 191 yards and two scores, including a 74-yard TD run.
XXVII (1992), XXVIII (1993)
Jimmy Johnson coached the Dallas Cowboys for five seasons and won the Super Bowl in his final two years there. The first, Super Bowl XXVII, was a 52-17 blowout of the Buffalo Bills in which Troy Aikman completed 22/30 passes for 273 yards and four TDs.
Dallas beat the Bills again in the following season's Super Bowl by a 30-13 score. Hall of Fame RB Emmitt Smith dominated that game with 30 carries, 158 total yards, and two TDs.
XXIV (1989), XXIX (1994)
The San Francisco 49ers' defensive coordinator for six seasons under the legendary Bill Walsh, George Seifert was promoted to head coach in 1989 and won the Super Bowl in his first season in the main job. The Niners beat the Denver Broncos 55-10 as Joe Montana threw five TD passes, three of which went to WR Jerry Rice.
Five seasons later, San Francisco won it again in a 49-26 shootout against the San Diego Chargers, which is still the highest-scoring Super Bowl ever. Steve Young, Montana's successor at QB, threw six TDs, RB Ricky Watters and Rice each scored three TDs, and CB Deion Sanders had an interception.
XLII (2007), XLVI (2011)
Tom Coughlin led the New York Giants to two of the most surprising Super Bowl wins in NFL history. The first was in Super Bowl XLII in the 2007 season, when New York beat the New England Patriots 17-14. WR David Tyree's 32-yard 'Helmet Catch' is the enduring symbol from that game, and the G-men sacked Pats QB Tom Brady five times.
Coughlin led the Giants to face the Pats again at the final hurdle in the 2011 season. In Super Bowl XLVI, New York got out to a 9-0 lead thanks to a safety and TD, but found themselves down 17-9 early in the second half. Two Lawrence Tynes field goals, four defensive stops and a game-winning Ahmad Bradshaw TD run clinched the 21-17 victory.
XXI (1986), XXV (1990)
One of the most legendary coaches in NFL history, Bill Parcells won both his Super Bowls with the New York Giants. His first, in Super Bowl XXI to cap off the 1986 season, saw the Giants beat the Denver Broncos 39-20 as QB Phil Simms threw as many TDs as incomplete passes (3).
Four seasons later, the Giants won Super Bowl XXV by a point over the Buffalo Bills. Kicker Matt Bahr made the 21-yard game-winning field goal with a full eight minutes left in the game, and a late missed field goal by the Bills saw the Giants hold on.
VII (1972), VIII (1973)
Don Shula, the winningest coach in NFL history, coached the Miami Dolphins for 26 seasons and won Super Bowls in back-to-back seasons. The first, off the back of their undefeated 1972 season, was a 14-7 win over Washington. QB Bob Griese threw a TD pass on just 11 pass attempts, and RB Larry Csonka carried the ball 15 times for 112 yards.
Miami went 12-2 the following season and won Super Bowl VIII by a 24-7 score over the Minnesota Vikings. The Dolphins dominated on the ground again as Csonka scored twice on 33 carries with 145 yards, and Griese attempted just seven passes all game.
