John Harbaugh: Harbaugh's Super Bowl, 137 regular season wins. Another Super Bowl win would have given Arians a career that is comparable to Jimmy Johnson, who was inducted last year after winning two Super Bowls during his nine years as a head coach. 619 winning percentage with the Cardinals that included a trip to the NFC Championship Game, and Super Bowl win in Tampa Bay has catapulted Arians near the top of the coaching profession. While he doesn't have a large body of work, Arians' work in an interim role in Indianapolis in 2012, a. Could make it, but likely on the outside looking itīruce Arians: A self-proclaimed quarterback whisperer, Arians has enjoyed successful partnerships with Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Andrew Luck, Carson Palmer, and Tom Brady. 631 winning percentage (ninth all-time among coaches that coached in at least 200 regular season games) also help his cause, along with the fact that Payton and quarterback Drew Brees turned the Saints - one of the NFL's have-not clubs for most of their existence - into one of the NFL's most consistent winners over the past 16 years should help his cause, too. Payton's Super Bowl win, his 152 regular season wins (22nd all-time) and. Sean Payton: Along with Reid, Payton's contributions to the NFL's modern-day passing attack helps his Hall of Fame argument. Bad call notwithstanding, Carroll's 145 career regular season wins (22nd most in NFL history), 11 postseason appearances (tied for 10th all-time) and 11 postseason wins (tied for 10th all-time) gives him a strong Hall of Fame argument.

Pete Carroll: One of three coaches to win a national championship and a Super Bowl, Carroll led Seattle to its first Super Bowl win in franchise history in 2013. He is the only coach in league history to begin his career with 15 straight non-losing campaigns.

Reid's contributions to the modern-day passing attack only strengthens his case. He and Belichick are the only coaches that have accomplished that feat in the 21st century. And while Kansas City fell short of defending its title in 2020, Reid became the 12th head coach to coach in at least three Super Bowls. He will likely surpass Don Shula as the NFL's all-time winningest coach sometime this decade.Īndy Reid: The longtime coaching veteran punched his Hall of Fame ticket after leading the Chiefs to victory in Super Bowl LIV. The only coach with six Super Bowl rings and nine conference championships, Belichick is also just one of three coaches in history to win at least 300 games. As good as goldīill Belichick: Not even three consecutive seasons without a playoff win can take the shine off Belichick's future Hall of Fame bust. With that in mind, we decided to predict which modern-day coaches have already put together Hall of Fame-worthy careers, and which ones may need to add a little bit more to the resume over the next few years. Arians hoisted the Lombardi Trophy as a head coach in 2020 after the Buccaneers routed the defending champion Chiefs in Super Bowl LV.Īrians began the 2021 season as one of the NFL's current head coaches who has a shot at receiving a gold jacket and a bronze bust in Canton, Ohio. At 61, Arians finally got his break as a head coach in Arizona, where in 2015 he helped guide the Cardinals to within a game of the Super Bowl. He won two Super Bowls as an assistant coach with the Steelers before winning Coach of the Year honors while serving as the Colts' interim coach in 2012.


Two Coach of the Year awards and one Super Bowl ring later, Arians certainly changed the narrative.Īrians, who announced his retirement from coaching on Wednesday night, spent nearly 50 years in coaching that included 29 in the NFL.
