No.....however, you may give me an idea about another trivia question: Coaches with the worst ever winning percentage. Remember, like I said, a coach has to be good enough to have stayed around long enough to lose a lot of games. The guys you mention certainly did NOT meet that criteria. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Jeff Fisher ? Who got that one ? Plus the long time at one place coaches with one team are getting rare with the rich owners and demanding fans and the win now attitude. Good one.

Hint on the remaining 7 names: 4 of them were wholly Pre-Super Bowl as far as I know. Another couple on the edge of Pre-SB and SB eras. In other words, only one of them coached past the 1970s.....and that one I think you will find to be a complete surprise. Lets just say that his pro coaching career is perceived to be better than his college coaching career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Ok Shottenheimer was regarded as not a great coach by some BROWNS fans and never won he big one but I'll take a shot on him. Chuck Knox and Mike Holmgren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chamberlain and Weeb Ewbank are the only coaches in history to have won NFL Championships with 2 teams. Flaherty was the HC of the Redskins in the late 30s/early 40s who won a couple of titles...with Sammy Baugh...I think. Hughitt coached 5 years for the Buffalo team of the NFL in the 20s. Won most of his games, but never a title, came in like 2d place a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
