Retread Head Coaches

SoggyBottomBoy said

HOT TAKE! I'm not sure if any of you have heard this, but no coach has won a Super Bowl for two different teams!

Does this have any relevance to anything? Probably nothing more than an interesting bit of trivia, but I bet a whole bunch of theories can be weaved from it. Enjoy.

It doesn’t. It’s a product of the fact that it is hard for EVERYONE to win a SB.

Only 6% of the coaches who have ever coached have won one. Only 20 of the 32 franchises have won one. Only 35 individual head coaches have won one.

It is very hard to do and something that isn’t just solely predicated on coaching skill level.

So now we are judging coaches because they had the audacity to not be able to duplicate this success and luck twice with two different teams, much less factoring in that only a relatively extremely small handful even were merely in position to do so?

The fact that so many of these retread SB winners even got back to the Super Bowl or at a minimal had the bad teams they took over playing extremely well and contending is enough for me. It tells me that (obviously) SB coaches have great programs/organizational skills, and those great programs/organizational skills usually translate well across different teams, so they present a really good bet.
