Question: how many SB winning head coaches have won another SB with their second team?

One? Two?

Seems like thin odds.

Edit: Looks like 0. That is Zero. One can always make history and break precedent, but it's clear retreads aren't all they are cracked up to be.

Looks like 0. That is Zero.

However, according to SI

These six NFL coaches are in a class by themselves: they’re the only coaches who have gotten two different teams to a Super Bowl.who've taken multiple teams to the Superb Owl (as of Jan 2016)

Shula
Parcells
Reeves
Vermeil
Holmgren
Fox

I am shocked that Mac is the 2nd place in the odds behind the Oklahoma coach (whose name escapes me right now) in Vegas odds. Mac was +700, the OU dude was even steven.

I think the job is Mac's if he wants it, and it is insanely risky to offer an unproven college coach who consistently gets squashed against good teams over a proven commodity who has done largely nothing but win and have his team prepared for battle.

Don Shula if I am recalling my trivia days correctly.

Shula won Super Bowls with the Dolphins, but not the Colts.

Don Shula if I am recalling my trivia days correctly.

Shula's 1968 NFL championship with the Colts is the same as the Vikings NFL Championship in 1970. Everyone knows they were still two leagues and they played the "Super Bowl" after both leagues crowned their champions. Because the Colts and Vikings both lost the "Super Bowl" before the leagues merged, some weakly maintain that they were still Champions. But everyone knows they lost the Super Bowl and that game was for all the marbles.

KD Drummond @KDDrummondNFL
I dismissed Lewis as possible HC in Dallas, not bc I don't think he's a good coach... it's impossible to win in Cincy & he turned in annual playoff berths...

Assumed if Jerry went w/an NFL coach it'd be one w/ proven playoff success.

Still think it's MM, but could be wrong.

McCarthy to Dallas confirmed. Darn it. They're gonna be a really tough team now.

[pbmax]

Wow.

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet
Sources: The #Cowboys are focused on hiring former #Packers coach Mike McCarthy. They are currently in talks. A day after firing Jason Garrett, it appears they have their guy.

Jay Glazer @JayGlazer
Scoopage alert: the @dallascowboys have agreed to terms with Mike McCarthy to be their new head coach. Announcement and press conference expected later this week @NFLonFOX #cowboys

Ian Rapoport@RapSheet
Former #Packers coach Mike McCarthy informed the other teams he talked with that he’s out. He’s in for Dallas.

[pbmax]

Man, that ain't bad. From Packers to Cowboys. Only Giants and Bears compare as franchises. Maybe San Fran a notch below.

Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero
Mike McCarthy tells me he just signed with the #Cowboys. Done deal. He’s their new head coach.

Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora
Mike McCarthy's decision only further strengthens the position of Josh McDaniels with the Browns and Panthers. He will talk to both in the coming days. Giants too

This will be great fun. Stubby Does Dallas. More entertainment for Packer fans, whether he succeeds or fails.

[Fosco33]

Wonder if he’ll want to keep Cooper or Cobb?

[Joemailman]

Pretty good situation for him. Good, still young QB. Premier RB signed for several years. Good receiver in Cooper. Wonder if he keeps Marinelli as DC.

He also has Richard.
