List of NFL head coach wins leaders

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of the National Football League (NFL) head coaches by wins.

Don Shula, the winningest head coach in NFL history
Andy Reid has recorded the most wins in franchise history for two teams, the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs

Don Shula holds the current records for regular season wins at 328. Shula’s tenure included many 14 game seasons, thus his win total took longer to amass than that of currently active coaches. Bill Belichick holds the record for postseason wins at 31.

Among active head coaches, Andy Reid is the leader in regular season and postseason wins.

Notes
  • A The NFL did not officially count ties in the standings until 1972. Therefore, ties occurring prior to 1972 do not count toward a coach's win percentage, while ties occurring 1972 or later count as half-win, half-loss.

Postseason wins

Bill Belichick holds the record for playoff wins with 31.
