"There are great coaches all over the NFL. Super Bowl champions. Coach of the Year winners. Future Hall of Famers. But when it comes to head coaches, across the board, no division can match the AFC West. Andy Reid, Sean Payton, Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh. It's Mount Rushmore - or maybe Mount Passmore. That's 10 conference championships and five Super Bowl rings, possibly the most accomplished quartet of coaches since the league went to eight four-team divisions in 2002. There are no weak links."
"Most decorated in this group is Kansas City's Reid, whose Chiefs have won three of the past six Super Bowls. His teams have won six conference titles - one by Philadelphia and five by Kansas City. In 2004, Reid was the youngster in an NFC East coaching foursome that included Bill Parcells (Dallas), Joe Gibbs (Washington) and Tom Coughlin (New York Giants). At that point, neither Reid nor Coughlin had led teams to Super Bowl victories."
"Carroll, 73, and Reid, 67, are the NFL's two oldest active coaches. Harbaugh and Payton, born six days apart and both 61, rank fourth and fifth. Each is on at least his second team as an NFL head coach, and Carroll is on his fourth. "We're in this because of the competition," Reid said. "You love that part of it.""
The AFC West features Andy Reid, Sean Payton, Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh, a quartet with ten conference championships and five Super Bowl wins. Kansas City's Andy Reid is most decorated with three recent Super Bowl victories and six conference titles overall. Pete Carroll and Reid are the league's two oldest active head coaches at 73 and 67. Harbaugh and Payton are both 61 and each is on at least a second NFL head-coaching stint. Harbaugh has not won a Super Bowl as a head coach, his 2012 49ers losing narrowly in the title game. The coaches emphasize competitive drive and mutual respect.
