Question

Andy Reid on Sunday will coach in a Super Bowl against a team that he formerly coached (he coached the Eagles from 1999-2012). Who are the only other four coaches who have done this?

Answer

Weeb Ewbank, Dan Reeves, Jon Gruden, Pete Carroll. Ewbank coached the Jets to victory in Super Bowl III against the Colts; he coached the Colts from 1954-1962. Reeves took the Broncos to three Super Bowls in the ‘80s, then coached the Falcons team that lost to them in January, 1999. Gruden was traded by the Raiders after coaching them from 1998-2001, then beat them in the Super Bowl in his first season in Tampa Bay. Carroll coached the Patriots three seasons in the ‘90s, then lost to them (with Seattle) in the Super Bowl played in February, 2015.
