Bill Walsh ranked 4th in John Clayton’s list of coaches who won Super Bowl

ESPN’s John Clayton put a story out where he lists every coach who won a Super Bowl in relation to Bill Belichick. The parameters were simple: coaches who had won Super Bowls (not AFL or NFL titles), the impact on the sport the coach had, and Clayton also stated that regular season success was a factor.

Vince Lombardi ranks at number 1. A solid and understandable choice. Where things get interesting is number 2: none other than Bill Belichick followed by Chuck Noll and finally former 49ers head coach Bill Walsh. From there, the rankings continue to number 31, with other 49ers Super Bowl winning coach, George Seifert at 16, but let’s look at that Walsh ranking.
