5 NFL HCs who took two different teams to a Super Bowl ft. Andy Reid and Bill Parcells
Reaching the Super Bowl is one of the ultimate goals of almost every head coach in the NFL. They have worked their whole careers towards an opportunity to one day play in the big game and hope to get at least one opportunity to do so. Though second place is never the target, appearing in the Super Bowl is still an incredible accomplishment.
Just 25 head coaches in NFL history have appeared in more than one Super Bowl during their careers. No head coach has ever won a Super Bowl with two different teams at any point in NFL history. But here are five of the head coaches who have appeared in at least one Super Bowl with two different teams.
#1 - Dick Vermeil
Dick Vermeil began his NFL head coaching career with the Philadelphia Eagles after a successful run with UCLA in college football. He spent seven seasons with the Eagles and helped them reach Super Bowl XV, where they were defeated by the Oakland Raiders.
After taking 14 years away from coaching to pursue a broadcasting career, Vermeil returned and took the head coaching job with the St. Louis Rams. He helped "The Greatest Show on Turf" win Super Bowl XXXIV against the Tennessee Titans.
#2 - Bill Parcells
Bill Parcells is considered by many to be one of the greatest head coaches of all time. His dominant run with the New York Giants included two Super Bowl rings while making the playoffs five times in eight years. He posted an impressive 8-3 postseason record.
Parcells stepped away from coaching for a couple of years following his second ring, but later returned to take the job with the New England Patriots. He helped them reach Super Bowl XXXI, but they were defeated by the Green Bay Packers.
