Question

The Jaguars are looking for a new coach, and they're considering bringing back Tom Coughlin, who coached them from 1995 to 2002. Who are the only other four coaches in the Super Bowl era who have coached a team, taken them to the playoffs, left, and then come back over 10 years later?

Answer

Joe Gibbs (Washington, 1981-92 and 2004-07), Art Shell (Raiders, 1989-94 and 2006), Chuck Knox (Rams, 1973-77 and 1992-94) and Ted Marchibroda (1975-79 and 1992-95). Bud Grant retired for one season and came back for one additional season in Minnesota. Marion Campbell had unsuccessful stints with the Falcons in the '70s and '80s. Harvey Johnson had 1-10-1 and 1-13 seasons with the Bills sandwiched around 1969-70.
