    An interesting thing here is that of the 13  multiple winning SB coaches...none ever won with more than one team..

    BUT.....of the 8 multiple SB losing coaches.....half of them....4....lost Super Bowls with more than one team:  Shula, Reeves, Holmgren, Fox.

    Not today.   You are about 3 months early.  My 36th anniversary will be in August (4th)  I guess that means that you have enjoyed a little less than 3 more months of wedded bliss than I have.

    Not bad for a total guess. Now, if it only included teams since the 80's I'd nail it.

    Thirty One  (31)  people who have been the head coach in a Super Bowl,   win or lose......are part of what can be called   The Paul Brown Coaching tree.

    OK,  Too much.    

    Nevertheless.....these  31  Head coaches whose teams played in the Super Bowl are all part of the Paul Browns coaching tree.   I have highlighted those who appeared in more than one  SB:

    Weeb Ewbank

    Don Shula

    Chuck Noll

    Bill Walsh

    Bud Grant

    Sam Wyche

    Don McCafferty

    George Seifert

    Mike Holmgren

    Tony Dungy

    Bill Parcells

    Mike Shanahan

    Kyle Shanahan

    Bill Cowher

    Mike Tomlin

    Mike McCarthy

    Pete Carroll

    Bill Belichick

    Tom Coughlin

    Sean Payton

    John Harbaugh    (but...apparently NOT Jim Harbaugh)

    Gary Kubiak

    Jon Gruden

    Andy Reid

    Forrest Gregg    (shared with Lombardi tree)

    Jim Caldwell

    Lovie Smith

    Raymond Berry

    Red Miller

    Jim Fassell

    Jim Caldwell 

    Note also....Lou Saban and Blanton Collier who led Bills and Browns to AFL/NFL titles pre SB are also on the list. 

    So, literally, more than half the HCs that have taken their teams to the SB fall on the Paul Brown coaching tree.
