By winning Super Bowl LIV, Andy Reid solidified his standing as a future Hall of Fame coach. A win Sunday will put him in an even more select category of coaching legends.
Reid will become the 15h coach in history to win multiple Super Bowls. Of the 14 coaches who have already won multiple Super Bowls, nine of them are currently in the Hall of Fame. Bill Belichick will join them in Canton, Ohio whenever he decides to hang up his whistle.

Like Belichick, Noll was a defensive-minded coach who presided over arguably the greatest defense in league history. Noll’s “Steel Curtain” defense did not allow a point during the Steelers‘ first Super Bowl.
