Super Bowl Coaches

Both coaches in this year’s Super Bowl are seeking their first pro championship.

Seattle Seahawks’ coach Pete Carroll, in his first Super Bowl, hopes to join Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer as the only coaches to win both college and pro football championships.

Denver Broncos’ coach, John Fox

lost in his only previous Super Bowl when he coached the Carolina Panthers. The New England Patriots, coached by Bill Belichick, won that Super Bowl game by three points.

In this year’s AFC Championship game Fox’s Broncos defeated the Patriots and their coach Bill Belichick.

I think both men are fine coaches who take chances. Carroll’s decision to go for it and not attempt a field goal in a 4th and 7 situation in the NFC Championship game, was a great example of such coaching decisions.
