Which NFL head coach has the most wins in history? Top 5 HCs by all-time wins ft. Don Shula

Any NFL franchise can be a threat with the right head coach. A HC has duties that extend beyond the playing field, including managing the team's support staff and working behind the scenes.

Former Baltimore Colts and Miami Dolphins HC Don Shula accumulated the most wins in NFL history.

Shula managed a whopping 347 wins in his coaching career (regular season and playoffs), but there is a chance his totals could be surpassed. Here's a look at the five head coaches with the most wins in NFL history.

NFL coaches with the most wins

#5. Andy Reid: 269 (247 regular season, 22 playoff wins)

Reid started his coaching career as an offensive assistant for the Green Bay Packers. He worked there from 1992 to 1998 and was part of the team that won Super Bowl XXXI.

Super Bowl LIV - San Francisco 49ers v Kansas City Chiefs

Reid guided the Eagles to nine postseason appearances, six division titles, five NFC Championship Games (from 2001 to 2004), and a loss in Super Bowl XXXIX.

Andy Reid rescued the Kansas City Chiefs after being appointed head coach in 2013. He assisted in breaking the 1993–2004 playoff losing streak of eight games.

He has guided Kansas City to success in his ten seasons with them. He has nine postseason appearances, seven division crowns, five straight AFC Championship games, three Super Bowl appearances (LIV, LV, LVII), and two Super Bowl victories (LIV, LVII). Quite remarkable.

#4. Tom Landry: 270 (250 regular season, 20 playoff wins)

Together with his 20 straight winning seasons (which is regarded as his most noteworthy professional achievement), Tom Landry's 29 consecutive years as the coach of one team (1960 to 1988) set an NFL record.

Landry won two Super Bowl championships (Super Bowl VI and Super Bowl XII), five NFC titles, and 13 division titles with the Dallas Cowboys. His 270-178-6 record ranks fourth among all NFL coaches in terms of victories, while his 20 postseason victories are the second most in NFL history.

#3. George Halas: 324 (318 regular season, 6 playoff wins)

Halas was one of the league's co-founders in 1920, and he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1963 as one of the inaugural 17 players.

Up until Romeo Crennel (who was 73 years and 115 days old when he took over as interim head coach of the Houston Texans 54 years later), Halas was the oldest person in NFL history to hold the position of head coach.

Halas was 72 years and 318 days old when he coached the final game of his career in December 1967.

#2. Bill Belichick: 329 (298 regular season, 31 playoff wins)

Cincinnati Bengals v New England Patriots

With a record of 294 regular-season victories and 31 postseason victories, Bill Belichick is the league's head coach with the longest active tenure. He has been the New England Patriots' HC for 21 seasons.

Belichick ranks second for the most regular-season coaching victories with a single organization. He is one of just three head coaches with six NFL championships and could threaten Don Shula's record.

For the 2003, 2007, and 2010 seasons, Belichick received the AP NFL Coach of the Year award.

#1. Don Shula: 347 (328 regular season, 19 playoff wins)

Hall of Famer Don Shula spent the first seven years of his head coaching tenure with the Baltimore Colts. There, he helped the group reach the 1968 season's Super Bowl (III). After the 1969 campaign, Shula joined the Miami Dolphins, where he started his ascent to legendary status.

Shula's Dolphins squad became the first and only unbeaten team in history in just his third season. Miami had a perfect record throughout the regular season in 1972, and it carried that momentum into the postseason, defeating Washington in Super Bowl VII. The next year, the team won the Super Bowl again.

With five Super Bowl appearances with Miami and one with the Colts, Shula was an incredible head coach. However, he does have the most Super Bowl defeats with four.

Shula became the first head coach to lead two franchises to the Super Bowl and appear in three straight Super Bowls. Quite an achievement, to say the least.
