Top 5 NFL HCs with most playoff wins
The success of NFL head coaches is often judged by their winning percentage. The best ones of all time are generally those who win the most games.
This trend becomes even more important in the postseason when the stakes are at their highest. Here are five head coaches in NFL history who have accumulated the most-ever playoff wins.
#5 - Joe Gibbs, Washington Commanders - 17 playoff wins
Joe Gibbs was one of the best head coaches of his generation and is on the list of all-time greats for everything he accomplished in Washington. His legendary postseason coaching statistics are among the best ever.
He was known to coach his teams to consistently win football games using the old-school ground and pound philosophy.
Gibbs helped Washington win three Super Bowl rings during his Hall of Fame run as their head coach. He has accumulated an impressive 17-7 career record in the postseason.
His .708 winning percentage in the postseason is the best in NFL history among all head coaches with at least 15 playoff game appearances in their careers.
#3 (tied) - Don Shula, Baltimore Colts and Miami Dolphins - 19 playoff wins
Don Shula is the NFL's all-time most successful coach with 347 career victories, including 19 in the playoffs. He won two Super Bowl rings with the Miami Dolphins and an NFL Championship with the Baltimore Colts, prior to the merger with the AFL.
The superior man blames himself. The inferior man blames others...Don Shula https://t.co/KGbd42GZ9F
Shula's first Super Bowl ring with the Dolphins was part of the only perfect season in NFL history. They are still the only team since the merger to complete an entire regular season and postseason without losing a single game.
