Some Super Bowl Coaching Facts

[Hostile]

Wow, very interesting post Hos!

Thank you. I wonder if I could figure out how many Head Coaches have been in the NFL since 1967?

That would be daunting. Be interesting to see the % of coaches who win this game. 250 would be 10%. 2500 would be 1%. You know it is between those numbers.

I had to answer my own question.

Since the Super Bowl era began there have been 324 head coaches in the NFL and a possibility of 8 more once the 2009 season starts.

At the current calculation that is 7.7% of the men who coach in the NFL go on to win a Super Bowl.

There are 12 Head coaches in the NFL Post Season right now. 2 of them, Coughlin and Dungy have won it all before. If one of them win it and we get the 8 coaching changes (Lions, Rams, Seahawks, Jets, Browns, Colts, Broncos, Raiders) that I expect it would lower this to 7.5%.

If a 26th coach adds his name to the roster of the current 324 head coaches it would be exactly 8%. Then once the 2009 season begins it would 7.8%.

No matter how you slice it, winning the Super Bowl as a Head Coach is a mountain to climb. Some great Head Coaches couldn't get it done.

Team with the most Coaching changes in the Super Bowl era is Atlanta with 17.

More good stat info Thanks!

Now crunch which NFL coaches in history are disciplinarians and which aren't and then cross reference this with their regular season and playoff winning percentages respectively, and tell us who we need to pursue in the future hehe :laugh1:

Get on it!

I'm gonna die trying to do that.

Greatest disciplinarian of all time...Rich Kotite. Followed closely by Ray Handley and Dave "Punch the Timeclock" Campo.

If I was a player, nothing in this world would have "scared" me more than Campo in a wetsuit feeding Shamu. I still shudder from seeing the Hard Knocks footage from years ago!

It's a shame that a high quality thread like this got pushed to page 2.

Wow, those are some very interesting numbers too. They further prove that the outcome of one season does not dictate the outcome of the season that follows.
