Question
Las Vegas hires Pete Carroll, and that makes the AFC West the first division in league history in which all of the coaches have Super Bowl appearances on their resumes. With Andy Reid having also gone to a Super Bowl with Philadelphia, all four have taken other franchises to Super Bowls. What is the only other division that once featured four head coaches who had taken other franchises to Super Bowls? Looking at 1999.
Answer
NFC West. That division included New Orleans (Mike Ditka, Bears), Atlanta (Dan Reeves, Broncos), Carolina (George Seifert) and the St. Louis Rams (Dick Vermeil, Eagles). The NFC West was a five-division at that time, but the first team, San Francisco, did not have a Super Bowl coach.
