The best NFL head coaches who have never won a Super Bowl

As Andy Reid seeks his first Super Bowl victory, Touchdown Wire ranks the head coaches who never celebrated on the NFL’s biggest stage.

4. Andy Reid

Regular-season record: 207-128-1
Postseason record: 14-14

Philadelphia Eagles, 1999-2012
Kansas City Chiefs, 2013-Present

We know this guy, right? Reid has an opportunity to work himself off this list on February 2, but even if he isn’t able to, he’s already one of eight coaches with 200 or more regular-season wins, and his ability to create dynamic offenses, especially in his willingness to adopt spread concepts into his offenses years before other coaches did, makes him notable as a play-designer. Reid will always encounter static over his clock–management skills, especially in the Eagles’ eventual loss to the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX at the end of the 2004 season, when Philly wasn’t quite as quick from the huddle to the snap as it could have been late in the game. Still, Reid is one of the game’s great quarterback developers, he’s taken his Chiefs to the AFC Championship game in each of the last two seasons, and anytime you can come back from a 24-0 deficit in a playoff game, score touchdowns on seven straight drives, and ultimately come up with a 51-31 win, as Kansas City did over Houston in the 2019 divisional round, perhaps the criticism of Reid’s urgency should now be put aside. If he beats Kyle Shanahan’s 49ers in Super Bowl LIV, one has the sense that a lot of beefs people may have had with Reid over the years will disappear.
