6. Chuck Noll (1969-1991) coached the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1969 to 1991. After a six-year playing career that included two NFL Championships as a member of the Cleveland Browns, and several years as an assistant coach with various teams, in 1969 Noll took the helm of the then moribund Steelers and turned it into a perennial contender. As a head coach, Noll won four Super Bowls, four AFC titles, and nine Central Division championships, compiled a 209–156–1 overall record, a 16–8 post-season record, and had winning records in 15 of his final 20 seasons. Noll ranks seventh in all-time victories with a 209-156-1 record.

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick may seem like one-of-a-kind, and he will set himself apart with a win Sunday in Super Bowl 51, which would make him the first coach to capture five Super Bowl rings. But he has much in common with Tom Landry, Chuck Noll, John Wooden and any other coach to put himself among the Mount Rushmore of the best to ever run a team. (AP Photo/Harry Cabluck, File)
