My top 3 will probably be on everyones list. I'm having a tough time thinking of 2 more that are clearly top 5.
1 Walsh
2 Parcells
3 Belichek

Holmgren, Marv Levy, Dan Reeves, Jimmy Johnson , Marty Shottenheimer (SP)

Tomlin may not be in Top 5 yet but is closing in. Shananhan honorable mention as well.

There is a very small fraternity of Head Coaches that have won multiple Super Bowls.

Levy, Reeves, Schottenheimer certainly deserve consideration, particularly the first two.

I agree.

However, there are going to be people who will focus on one game rather than an entire body of work.

Tomlin isn't close. The super bowl he did win came during a season when Peyton Manning had a mostly new OL and Tom Brady tore his ACL. I remember saying steelers are going to the Super Bowl after Brady went down.

Tomlin is still considered a rising star; however, I want to see how good he is without Dick Lebeau.

For me it’s:

1. Bill Walsh
2. Bill Bellichik
3. Joe Gibbs
4. Bill Parcells
5. Bill Cowher

Why wasn’t I named Bill again?
