List of NFL head coach wins leaders explained

The following is a list of the National Football League (NFL) head coaches by wins.

Don Shula holds the current records for regular season wins at 328. Shula’s tenure included many 12 game seasons, thus his win total took longer to amass than that of currently active coaches. Bill Belichick holds the record for postseason wins at 31.

Among active head coaches, Andy Reid is the leader in regular season and postseason wins, with 258 and 26, respectively.
