Best NFL head coaches of all time

Lombardi only coached 10 seasons, but he won the league championship five times. He finished his career 96-34-6 and still has the third highest winning percentage in history.

Over 21-plus NFL seasons, Belichick is 226-113 and has won four Super Bowls in six appearances. His .667 winning percentage is 14th all time, and he has a .734 winning percentage since joining the Patriots in 2000.

Walsh's contribution to football stacks up with anyone as the mastermind of the West Coast offense. As an NFL head coach, he went 92-59-1 and won three Super Bowls in only 10 seasons with San Francisco.

Brown coached 25 seasons and won seven championships during his time. He finished his career with a 213-104-9 record and only had four losing seasons during his career.

Coaching 40 years in pro football, Halas went 318-148-31 for his career and won six championships in Chicago.

Shula's feats in coaching include the only truly undefeated year in NFL history, six championship appearances and two Super Bowl victories. His .677 career winning percentage ranks 11th all time.

Before Vince Lombardi, there was Curly Lambeau in Green Bay. Coaching from 1921-1953, he went 226-132-22 during the regular season and won six championships.

Noll coached 23 seasons in Pittsburgh, winning four Super Bowls. He had a .566 winning percentage for his career.

Madden won only one Super Bowl in 10 seasons, but he has the highest winning percentage in the modern era at .759. His Raiders lost more than four games only once.

Gibbs had two stints in Washington, going 154-94 with three Super Bowl victories in 16 seasons.

When put in context, Parcells' coaching accomplishments are as impressive as anyone. He turned four different franchises into winners and won two Super Bowls with the Giants. He also appeared in one Super Bowl with the Patriots. Parcells had a .569 winning percentage for his career.

Despite having the fourth best winning percentage ever, Allen never won the big game in 12 seasons. He did bring the Redskins to the Super Bowl in 1972.

Landry's iconic image is still synonymous with the Cowboys, and he was a huge winner for most of his career. Over 29 seasons in Dallas, he went 250-162-6, winning two Super Bowls and making three more appearances in the big game.

Levy was a head coach for 17 seasons in the NFL, making four consecutive Super Bowl appearances with the Bills. Unfortunately, Buffalo could never win the big game. He had a .561 winning percentage for his career.

Grant never won a championship, but his time in Minnesota was still an overwhelming success. Over 18 seasons, the Vikings appeared in four championships and had a .621 winning percentage.

Dungy only won one Super Bowl in 13 seasons as an NFL head coach between Tampa Bay and Indianapolis, but his .668 winning percentage is 13th all time.

Flaherty coached from 1936-49 and has a ninth best winning percentage among pro coaches. His Redskins won two NFL Championships.

During 17 NFL seasons, Holmgren appeared in three Super Bowls and won one between Green Bay and Seattle. He had a .592 winning percentage for his career.

Pittsburgh's long history of winning is due in large part to its last three coaches: Chuck Noll, Cowher and Mike Tomlin. Cowher won one Super Bowl and appeared in another during his 15 years with the Steelers, finishing with a .623 winning percentage.

The third team has been the charm for Carroll, who has a .626 winning percentage and has appeared in two Super Bowls in six-plus seasons with Seattle, including winning one. For his NFL career, he has a strong .583 winning percentage and was also a National Champion at USC.

The talent that Seifert inherited in San Francisco certainly has a lot to do with his two Super Bowls in eight years with the team, but his run in eight seasons with a .766 winning percentage was as impressive as any. He did struggle later in his career in three seasons with Carolina.

Now in his 11th seasons with Green Bay, McCarthy has only one losing season and a great .653 winning percentage for his career. He's had the good fortune of great quarterback play during his career, but McCarthy should be credited for some of the Packers' stability. The team has won one Super Bowl under his watch.

One of the best regular-season head coaches ever, Schottenheimer is also remembered for his failures in the playoffs. He had a .613 winning percentage over 21 seasons but went just 5-13 in the playoffs with some absolutely crushing defeats.

Now in his 10th season with Pittsburgh, Tomlin has a .639 winning percentage and has yet to have a losing record. His Steelers have appeared in two Super Bowls, winning one.

Coughlin won two improbable Super Bowls over the Patriots as the Giants' head coach. His regular-season success wasn't overwhelming, with a winning percentage of exactly .531 with both the Jaguars and Giants, but his 12-7 playoff record puts him among the greats.
