Every summer, we take stock of all 32 teams from a leadership perspective, and now this year’s rundown is complete: The 2024 head coach rankings are here! Kansas City Chiefs icon Andy Reid remains atop the pecking order, fresh off his third Super Bowl win in six years, but his newest AFC West counterpart, the Los Angeles Chargers’ Jim Harbaugh, joins him in the top 10 despite just returning to the NFL sidelines:
7. Jim Harbaugh (Chargers)
On one hand, Harbaugh’s been out of the NFL for a decade, and, in fact, has just four seasons of pro head-coaching experience under his belt. On the other, he’s been an undisputed victor at every spot, with 16 winning seasons in 20 years as a head man, including three NFC title games and a Super Bowl appearance during his San Francisco 49ers days. L.A. is bound to be more disciplined under his watch.

2. Top big-game coaches: McVay, Reid lead the charge
Speaking of coach rankings, what if we judged top staffers only by their big-stage accomplishments? Separate from our standard rundown of all 32 coaches, we’ve also sorted every team’s sideline conductor according to their reliability as a playoff contender. And only one man rivals Andy Reid in the top tier:
Sean McVay (Rams)
Playoffs: 5 of 7 seasons (71%) | Wins: 7 of 11 (64%)
Conference titles: 2 for 2 (100%)
Super Bowls: 1 for 2 (50%)
Besides the man up top, McVay is the only coach listed who’s both won a Super Bowl in the last decade and whose teams have made the playoffs 70% of the seasons he’s worked. Whether with Jared Goff or Matthew Stafford, the man has squeezed the most out of Los Angeles, reinforcing his league-wide appeal.
