Has a superbowl winning team ever fire their head coach?

[Jarv]

Currious because if we win the superbowl this year because of Quinn's defense. Well I would say good bye ro Big Mike and make Quinn the HC.

Dwane Casey (Toronto Raptors) won NBA coach of the year and got fired in the same offseason.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Yes.

The Dallas Cowboys.

 

[jazzcat22]

Doubt this happens.

 

[jazzcat22]

Yes.

The Dallas Cowboys.

Jimmy, yes it did.

 

[CowboysDrew]

So there was this guy, may have heard of him, named Jimmy Johnson...

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Jimmy, yes it did.

They wanted to frame it as this "mutual decision", but he was fired.

 

[mrmojo]

Lol how soon we forget

Denver Nuggets had coach and executive of the year the same year. One left, the other was not offered a contract.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

People's memories aren't so great LOL. It wouldn't happen. I think Quinn is doing a great job, but I think we have some serious talent on D. There are other DC's I think that could do what he is. And I also doubt Quinn's ability as a HC.

I like Big Mike. Team is more fun than ever. Love the aggressive 4th down and go for its.

The Quinn situation is a wrinkle. Hopefully Jerry opens his wallet after Parsons puts leverage on him.

I really like Big Mike.

Marty Schottenheimer got fired after going 14-2 with the Chargers, though they didn’t win the Super Bowl. In fact, they lost their first playoff game. But still, fired after 14-2?

 

[Fmart322]

Yes.

The Dallas Cowboys.

I can't hit like for this post but you're right.

 

[jazzcat22]

Yep, for sure.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Everything I’ve ever read and heard indicates Johnson wasn’t fired. He and Jerry mutually decided to go another direction. That might or might not be true, but that’s what was publicly put out there. I think Jimmy got tired of dealing with Jerry and wanted out.

 

[BourbonBalz]

The Eagles fired Doug Petersen two years after winning the Super Bowl in 2018. He was fired in 2020.

Yeah, I know. It's not so simple.

It was portrayed at the time in the media as a firing, but no, it was never as black and white as that.

Having been divorced last year that's probably the more appropriate comparison.

Yeah, even in the press conference Jimmy said he and Jerry mutually decided he would not return as head coach. If Jerry had really fired him I think Jimmy would’ve made it publicly known because he knew the fans would roast Jerry for it.

Yeah, the two of them just couldn't stand each other anymore.

Still, closest thing to the OP's question.

You think Quinn would do a better job? He has clock management issues as well, his team quit on him, and blown big leads (one including against the Cowboys).

Yep we want him.
