Which NFL Coach Has the Most Super Bowl Rings?

With Super Bowl LIII just around the corner, we take a look at which NFL coach has the most rings.

Bill Belichick – 6

Bill Belichick has the most Super Bowl rings of any NFL coach with six. He won three of those rings with the New England Patriots and the other three with the New York Giants. Belichick has also been to nine Super Bowls, which is the most of any head coach in NFL history.

New England Patriots

Belichick has won a record six Super Bowls as head coach of the New England Patriots, and he is the only head coach in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls twice. He also led the Patriots to an unbeaten 16-0 regular season record in 2007, becoming just the second head coach in NFL history to do so.

Won in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2015, 2017, and 2019

Bill Belichick has the most Super Bowl rings of any NFL coach with six. He has won five with the New England Patriots and one with the New York Giants. Belichick is also the only head coach to win three consecutive Super Bowls, doing so from 2001 to 2003.

Belichick’s success is due in part to his ability to adapt his team’s style of play to match the strengths of his opponents. He is known for making bold and unexpected decisions, such as starting quarterback Tom Brady in place of Drew Bledsoe in 2001, which helped lead the Patriots to their first Super Bowl win.

Belichick has been criticized for being secretive and arrogant, but there is no denying his success as a head coach. He is truly one of the greatest coaches in NFL history.

Jimmy Johnson is a former American football coach who won two Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys. He also coached the Miami Dolphins and the Oklahoma Sooners. Johnson is the only coach in NFL history to win a Super Bowl with two different teams.

Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team based in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. The Cowboys compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) East division. The team is headquartered in Frisco, Texas, and plays its home games at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which opened for the 2009 season. The stadium took the place of the partially demolished Texas Stadium, which served as the Cowboys’ home stadium from 1971 to 2008.

The Cowboys joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1960. The team’s national following might best be represented by its NFL record of consecutive sell-outs. The Cowboys’ streak of 190 consecutive sold-out regular and post-season games (home and away) began in 2002. The franchise has made it to the Super Bowl eight times, tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Denver Broncos for second most Super Bowl appearances in history, behind only the New England Patriots’ nine appearances. This has also corresponded to eight NFC championships, most in the NFC. They are also one of five teams to win more than three Super Bowls within a span of four seasons since 1970 (1972–1975), along with three other teams that have accomplished this feat: including those same Steelers as well as three San Francisco 49ers teams (1981–1984), one Green Bay Packers dynasty spanning from 1961 to 1967 and one New England Patriots dynasty from 2001 to 2018). In addition, six Cowboys players have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame solely for their accomplishments with Dallas: linebacker Chuck Howley; defensive end Bob Lilly; offensive lineman Forrest Gregg; wide receiver Michael Irvin; quarterback Roger Staubach; running back Tony Dorsett; and linebacker/defensive end Deion Sanders who played five seasons with Dallas during his Hall of Fame career (1989–1993, 1995).

Won in 1992 and 1993

Jimmy Johnson won back-to-back titles with the Dallas Cowboys in 1992 and 1993. He is the only coach in NFL history to lead a team to two consecutive Super Bowl victories. In addition to his two Super Bowl wins, Johnson also led the Cowboys to three straight NFC Championships from 1992 to 1994.
