Which NFL Coach Has the Most Super Bowl Rings?

Super Bowl Sunday is just around the corner, and everyone is wondering which NFL coach has the most rings. The answer may surprise you!

Bill Belichick – 6

Bill Belichick has the most Super Bowl rings of any NFL coach with six. He has won them all with the New England Patriots, with whom he has been head coach since 2000. Belichick is also the only head coach in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row twice (2001–2003 and 2016–2018).

New England Patriots

Belichick has won a record six Super Bowl titles as a head coach, four with the New England Patriots (2001, 2003, 2004, 2014) and two with the New York Giants (1986, 1990). He is also one of only three head coaches to win back-to-back Super Bowls more than once, joining legendary coaches Chuck Noll and Tom Landry.

Early Life and Career

Bill Belichick was born on April 16, 1952, in Nashville, Tennessee. His father, Steve Belichick, was a longtime college football coach at the U.S. Naval Academy. Bill Belichick began his own coaching career in 1975 as an assistant with the Baltimore Colts. He moved to the New York Giants in 1979 and served as the team’s defensive coordinator from 1985 to 1990.

In 1991, Belichick returned to the Patriots as head coach. He led the team to a 10-6 record that year, but was fired after the season. He then became head coach of the Cleveland Browns (1991-1995) before returning to the Patriots in 1996 as an assistant coach under head coach Pete Carroll. Carroll was fired after one season, and Belichick again took over as head coach of the Patriots in 2000.

Under Belichick’s leadership, the Patriots have won six Super Bowls (2002, 2004, 2005, 2015, 2017 and 2019) and eight AFC Championships (2001, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2011, 2014, 2016 and 2018). Belichick has also been named NFL Coach of the Year three times (2003, 2007 and 2010).

Chuck Noll – 4

Chuck Noll, former head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, has the most Super Bowl rings of any NFL coach with four. Noll led the Steelers to victories in Super Bowls IX, X, XIII, and XIV. He also coached the team to an appearance in Super Bowl XLIII.

Pittsburgh Steelers

As the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Chuck Noll won four Super Bowls, more than any other NFL coach. He is also the only coach to have won all four major professional football championships: the Super Bowl, the AFL Championship, the NFL Championship, and the Pre-Super Bowl NFL World Championship.

Early Life and Career

Charles Henry Noll was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on January 5, 1932, the youngest of three children born to William and Charlotte Noll. Chuck’s father was a coal miner and his mother was a homemaker. As a young boy, Chuck loved sports and wanted to be a professional athlete when he grew up.

Noll began his football career as a high school player in 1950. He played quarterback and linebacker for Benedictine High School in Cleveland. Benedictine went undefeated in Noll’s junior year and won the city championship in his senior year.

After high school, Noll enrolled at the University of Dayton on a football scholarship. He played fullback and linebacker for the Flyers from 1951 to 1954. Noll graduated from Dayton in 1955 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration.

Tom Landry – 2

While Bill Belichick has the most Super Bowl wins of any head coach in NFL history, Tom Landry actually has the most rings. Belichick has six rings, but Landry has two – both of which he won back-to-back with the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowls VI and XII.

Dallas Cowboys

Tom Landry was the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys for 29 seasons, from 1960 to 1988. During that time, he led the Cowboys to 20 consecutive winning seasons, 13 Divisional championships, 5 NFC Championship titles, and 2 Super Bowl Championships. In addition, Landry was named Coach of the Year 3 times (1966, 1975, and 1977) and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1990.

Early Life and Career

Thomas Wade Landry (September 11, 1924 – February 12, 2000) was an American football coach and executive. He was the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys for 29 seasons, from 1960 to 1988. During his coaching career, he created many new formations and methods, such as the 4-3 defense and the now popular Flex defense. His 29 consecutive years as the head coach of one team are an NFL record, surpassing that of Paul Brown. He is highly regarded as one of the greatest and most innovative coaches in NFL history. He was named one of the top 10 coaches in NFL history by the AP in 2000.

Landry won two Super Bowl titles, five NFC championships and 13 Divisional championships. His 20 career playoff victories are the second most in NFL history since 1966 and his 27 total playoff games coached rank fourth all-time. Additionally, he holds a number of “coaching” records, including 20 consecutive winning seasons and 12 consecutive seasons with 10 or more wins (tied with Bill Belichick).
