Most Super Bowl Wins by a Head Coach
On this page5
Bill Belichick won the most Super Bowls of any head coach in NFL history, with 6, all achieved with the New England Patriots. That total is two clear of anyone else and forms the backbone of the greatest coaching dynasty the league has seen.
Winning a Super Bowl is hard enough once; doing it six times means sustaining excellence across nearly two decades, through roster turnover and rule changes. Only a small group of coaches has managed even three. Here is the full leaderboard of Super Bowl-winning head coaches, the dynasties behind them, and why Belichick’s six stand so far ahead. All figures are as of the 2025 season.
The record holder: Bill Belichick and 6 titles
Belichick’s six championships came between the 2001 and 2018 seasons, all in partnership with quarterback Tom Brady. The Patriots’ run combined a ruthless defensive philosophy with a willingness to reinvent the team’s approach year to year, and it produced a sustained peak that no franchise has matched in the modern era.
It is worth noting that Belichick also earned two Super Bowl rings earlier in his career as the New York Giants’ defensive coordinator, but those do not count toward his head-coaching record. His six as a head coach are the mark everyone else is chasing.
The full leaderboard of Super Bowl-winning coaches
The table below ranks head coaches by Super Bowl titles. Active coaches are noted.
| Rank | Titles | Head coach | Team |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 | Bill Belichick | New England Patriots |
| 2 | 4 | Chuck Noll | Pittsburgh Steelers |
| 3 | 3 | Bill Walsh | San Francisco 49ers |
| 3 | 3 | Joe Gibbs | Washington |
| 3 | 3 | Andy Reid* | Kansas City Chiefs |
| 6 | 2 | Vince Lombardi | Green Bay Packers |
| 6 | 2 | Tom Landry | Dallas Cowboys |
| 6 | 2 | Don Shula | Miami Dolphins |
| 6 | 2 | Bill Parcells | New York Giants |
| 6 | 2 | Tom Flores | Oakland/LA Raiders |
*Active coach whose total could still climb.
Belichick stands alone at six, Noll’s four anchors the Steelers’ 1970s dynasty, and a three-way tie at three sits below. A long list of two-time winners, including several Hall of Famers, fills out the rest.
Noll and the great dynasty coaches
Chuck Noll built the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 1970s dynasty, winning four Super Bowls in six seasons with a team stacked with future Hall of Famers. Bill Walsh’s San Francisco 49ers and Joe Gibbs’s Washington teams each claimed three in the 1980s and early 1990s, and Gibbs did his with three different starting quarterbacks, a rare feat. The team side of these dynasties is covered in our leaderboard of the most Super Bowl wins by a team.
Andy Reid and the active chase
Andy Reid is the only active coach in the top group, with three titles for the Kansas City Chiefs following the 2019, 2022 and 2023 seasons. Paired with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Reid has built a modern dynasty that keeps reaching the Super Bowl, making him the clearest threat to move up the list. His long career of regular-season success also features in our leaderboard of the most wins by an NFL coach, while the players who starred in these games appear in our list of the most Super Bowl MVPs.
Why the record matters
A head coach’s Super Bowl total captures sustained organizational success in a way few numbers can, because it requires winning the sport’s single biggest game repeatedly. Belichick’s six reflect a dynasty that spanned a generation of the NFL, and the fact that no one else has reached five shows how difficult that consistency is. The Lombardi Trophy the winners lift is named for the coach who started it all.
The short version: Bill Belichick holds the record for the most Super Bowl wins by a head coach with 6, ahead of Chuck Noll (4). Bill Walsh, Joe Gibbs and active coach Andy Reid share third with 3 each. All figures are as of the 2025 season.
