No head coach has even won a super bowl with two NFL teams. They were mentioning this on a Buffalo sports channel when doing their "Quest for a Coach" segment. Then I was watching Ferguson on the MD website and I started to think I had a reason why, and it is loyalty.

Granted the #1 reason is because it is damn hard to win a super bowl in the first place. But second is that fact that over the years the coaches create real bonds with certain players/coaches that can ultimatly be detrimental to a teams development. These relationships create obligations, especially in long time players who have fought and gone through adversity, yet stayed by their coaches side. The longer in the league you are, the more obligated a coach can become. A good example of the concept, not the superbowl thing is Tedy Bruschi, who after suffering a stroke was kept much past his prime. I have no problems with Miami's head office, and I respect loyalty to both coaches/players alike, however I would like to see a few changes made to the connection to Dallas and BP's past.
 
I think a lot of these teams are going to be really dissapointed when their quick fix, hire a winning coach philosophy doesn't work out. Remember how Johnson was going to come in here and win a Superbowl in 3 years?:lol:
 
Tom Flores won one in Oakland and one in Los Angeles ......... I guess that is the same team.
