New England Patriots head Bill Belichick has five Super Bowl wins – the only NFL coach to win it five times. If Belichick wins another, he will tie the legendary former Chicago Bears mentor George Halas and former Green Bay Packers sideline maestro Vince Lombardi, whom the trophy that is up for grabs this Sunday is named after, for most NFL championships in history, as noted by Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk.
George Halas won six NFL championships as head coach of the Bears, the first in 1921 (when the team was called the Chicago Staleys and the league was called the American Professional Football Association) and the last in 1963. Curly Lambeau won six NFL championships with the Green Bay Packers, the first in 1929 and the last in 1944. Those coaches are the only two with six league titles. Belichick will become the third if the Patriots beat the Eagles in Super Bowl LII.
Whether Bill Belichick successfully guides the Patriots to a victory this coming Sunday or not, his legacy as one of the best football minds in NFL history is secured. Like George Halas and Vince Lombardi, Belichick has transformed his team into a franchise that has become associated with success. Belichick, however, has been a winner already even before he found a head coaching job in Foxborough. Including his stint as a defensive coordinator for the New York Giants in the 1980s, Belichick has been part of seven Super Bowl-winning teams.
So far in his head-coaching career, the 65-year-old Belichick has a regular-season record of 250–118 and 27–10 in the postseason.
