5 NFL head coaches who could win their first Super Bowl title this season

Entering Week 13 of the 2021 NFL season, legitimate Super Bowl contenders are beginning to emerge. However, several of these teams have head coaches that have never won a Super Bowl before.

This season, one of these head coaches may get their first Super Bowl title. These are the five most likely to do so.

NFL head coaches that could win their first Super Bowl

#5 - Kliff Kingsbury, Arizona Cardinals

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury

The Arizona Cardinals have the best record in the NFL entering Week 13. They are one of only two teams to be ranked in the top five in both scoring offenses and scoring defense. Despite being without superstar quarterback Kyler Murray for the past month, they rank third in points differential.

As long as Kyler Murray returns to full health, the Arizona Cardinals are a real threat to win the Super Bowl. They have been the most consistent team this year. It could be the first for head coach Kliff Kingsbury.

#4 - Matt LaFleur, Green Bay Packers

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur

The Green Bay Packers are one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl this year, as they are almost every year. That is because Aaron Rodgers is their quarterback and always gives them an excellent chance to win every game.

They have of the top defenses this season to complement Rodgers, ranking seventh in total defense and fifth in scoring. Rodgers has a chance to win his second Super Bowl ring this year, while it would be the first for head coach Matt LaFleur.

#3 - Sean McDermott, Buffalo Bills

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott

The Buffalo Bills are the other team, along with the Arizona Cardinals, that has both a top-five scoring offense and scoring defense. The Bills have been one of the best teams in the NFL over the last couple of years, making it to the AFC championship game last season.

This year they will try to take it another step further and reach the Super Bowl for the first time in over 25 years. Head coach Sean McDermott could cement himself as a Buffalo legend by helping to get them their first Super Bowl title in their long franchise history.

#2 - Sean McVay, Los Angeles Rams

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay

Head coach Sean McVay has already been to a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams, but he has not won one yet. He was defeated by head coach Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots in his first appearance. That was with Jared Goff at quarterback but he has now been upgraded to Matthew Stafford.

The NFC is very top-heavy this season. There appear to be five elite teams in the conference, with the Rams being one of them. They started the 2021 NFL season before their three-game losing streak by winning seven of their first eight games.

#1 - Kyle Shanahan, San Francisco 49ers

Head coach Kyle Shanahan of the San Francisco 49ers has also appeared in a Super Bowl but has not yet won one. He lost to head coach Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs in his only appearance.

The 49ers are making a late surge this year to get themselves back into contention. After a four-game losing streak, they have now won four of their last five games entering Week 13, including an active three-game winning streak.
