    What only 10, I guess that you don't know sports very well.   😆

    The other two must be a bit obscure, have to give it some thought.

    GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

    No on Lambeau.

    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.

    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.

    None of them are correct. 

    I will give another hint:  of two of them that are left,  they coached in and lost their only Super Bowl appearances.

    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.
