In the 1970's, Don Shula, Chuck Knoll and Tom Landry all won multiple Super Bowls.
In the 1980's, Tom Flores, Bill Walsh, and Joe Gibbs all won multiple Super Bowls
In the 1990's, Jimmy Johnson, George Siefert, and Mike Shanahan all won multiple Super Bowls

Since 2000, only Bill Belichick has managed to win multiple Super Bowls as a Head Coach during a decade, and he did it twice.

I’m not sure where the discussion is supposed to go.

I will say. I am glad that the cowboys have one of those coaches.

The evidence is clear. Next year’s SB will be won by a coach who’s won it before or by a coach that hasn’t.

Tomlin only won because the refs gave the stealers their last to sb wins. But i think he's a good coach.

I wonder if we’ll ever see a coach as good as Belichick again.
I doubt we’ll ever again see a coach with the amount of autonomy Belichick enjoys with the Pats.

George Halas and Paul Brown, who owned their teams; Lombardi, Landry, Shula...all to an extent. Then there’s Jimmy J and Belichick.

Who else is gonna get that kind of continuous power, going forward?

The vast majority of the HC's with multiple championships were authoritarian with close to full power.

Lombardi, Shula, Landry, Noll, Gibbs, Walsh, Shanahan, and Belicek all got to build their teams the no way they wanted, everyone else stayed out of their ways.

That is the lesson. That is why the Cowboys continue to fail.

As far as Shanahan and Belicek's first gigs I get the feeling they were somehow restrained.

No Head Coach has ever won a Super Bowl with two different teams.
That’s not as telling as it sounds because most head coaches never even go to another team after winning the Super Bowl.

Parity is the reason.

NE was as close to a dynasty as we may ever see again, and I'm still not sure how they did it. Cheating maybe lol, not sure.

Maybe coaching actually matters. Kraft didnt mind having a personality bigger than him around in order to win.

Jerry on the other hand....whenever that situation would happen it would be....ok thanks, I'll take it from here, then the team regressed each time.

Watching Jerry play with his toy has been fun, yes?

Yes but the bigger point is winning SB HC’s didn’t win Super Bowls with their first team which includes 4 current on this list.

The fact no HC has ever duplicated such feat with another team would definitely support its more about the talent than the coaching.

I think the lesson is it’s ultimately about the talent. And in some cases the opposing talent which stops them.

Landry awesome system took 4 different QB’s to a championship game or SB. The most in NFL history. But only one QB delivered. And he was by far the best one Landry had.

He had QB’s arguably good enough to win more but they either lost to more talented teams or weren’t enough in their biggest games.

Landry obviously had talented enough teams to win more championships and Super Bowls but credit must also go to the opposing talent in which the Packers and Steelers for example simply had greater talent.

The good news is that it appears McCarthy has close to full power. A quick glance of the roster and it's obvious what McCarthy wants he is getting.

If they had won with their first team they likely wouldn’t have been with their 2nd team, so what I said still applies.

Besides. a lot of first time head coaches are still learning, and/or have bad team situations, and they don’t get the chance to grow into the job and build. Like Belichick in Cleveland.

Aside from coaching ability, the primary factors are situation and opportunity.
