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.

Regular-season record: 190-165-2
Postseason record: 11-9

Denver Broncos, 1981-1992
New York Giants, 1993-1996
Atlanta Falcons, 1997-2003

Reeves, who helped win Super Bowl VI at the end of the 1971 season as a running back with Tom Landry’s Cowboys, won another at the end of the 1977 season as Dallas’ offensive coordinator as Dallas beat the Broncos, 27-10, in Super Bowl XII. Denver responded by hiring Reeves as its head coach for the 1981 season, and within five seasons, Reeves had helped to design a Super Bowl team. Reeves’ Broncos represented the AFC in three of four Super Bowls from the 1986 through the 1989 seasons, and they were thrashed by the NFC team in every one. Denver’s 55-10 loss to the 49ers in Super Bowl XXIV, the team’s inability to return to the Super Bowl, and subsequent power struggles with quarterback John Elway, led the Broncos to look elsewhere following the 1992 season. After four seasons with the Giants, Reeves got back to the Super Bowl at the end of the 1998 season with the Falcons, only to lose to Elway and the Broncos in Super Bowl XXXIII.
