CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — A Ukrainian girls’ hockey team is in Canada for a few days of peace and hockey in an arena that doesn’t have a missile-sized hole in its roof. After 56 hours of travel to Calgary, including a 24-hour bus ride from Dnipro to Warsaw, Poland, that required army escort for a portion of it, the Ukrainian Wings will join Wickfest, Hayley Wickenheiser’s annual girls’ hockey festival, on Thursday. The squad of players aged 11 to 13 was drawn from eight different cities in Ukraine, where sport facilities have been damaged or destroyed since Russia started its invasion in February 2022. “They all have a personal story of something awful happening,” said Wickenheiser. “We give them a week of peace and joy here, and I hope they can carry that with them. “We know full well they’re going back to difficult circumstances. It’s tough that way.” Nine players are from Kharkiv, where pictures show a large hole in the roof of the Saltovskiy Led arena where the girls’ team WHC Panthers once skated. “It was our home ice arena, and we played all our national team championships in this ice arena,” said Kateryna Seredenko, who oversees the Panthers program and is the Wings general manager. Ukraine’s Olympic Committee posted photos and wrote in a Facebook post Sept. 1 that Kharkiv’s Sport Palace, which was home to multiple hockey teams, was also destroyed in an attack on the city. Seredenko says the Wings’ arduous journey to Calgary was worth it because it gives the girls hope. “It’s not a good situation in Ukraine, but when they come here, they can believe that everything will be good, everything will be fine, of course we will win soon and we must play hockey. We can’t stop because we love these girls and we will do everything for them,” she said. “So many girls on this Ukrainian team are future players of the national team.” Wickenheiser, a Hockey Hall of Famer , is the assistant general manager of player development for the Toronto Maple Leafs and a doctor who works emergency room shifts in the Toronto area. The six-time Olympian and four-time gold medalist organized her first Wickfest after the 2010 Winter Games. She’s had teams from India, Mexico and the Czech Republic attend over the last decade and a half, but never a team that ran the Ukrainians’ gauntlet of logistics. The Canadian Partnership for Women and Children’s Health took on the task of arranging visas and paying for the team’s travel. “We care about women and children’s health. Sport is such a symbol. When you see a group of girls coming off the ice all sweaty and having worked hard on the ice, it’s a symbol of a healthy girl,” said chief executive officer Julia Anderson. “That’s a healthy kid that’s able to participate in sport. We really believe if we can get girls there, whether they’re in an active war zone, or here in Canada, those girls will change the world.” The Wings aren’t the first Ukrainians to seek a hockey haven in Canada since the war began. An under-25 men’s team played four games against university squads in early 2023 to prepare for that year’s world university games. Ukrainian teams have also twice played in the Quebec City International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament. “It’s the first time in Ukrainian history where a girls’ team is coming to Canada to a very good tournament,” Seredenko said. “They can see how they can play in their future. And they can see how it is to play hockey in Canada.” AP sports: https://apnews.com/sportsJigsaw Puzzle Market is Touching New Level | Ceaco ,SunsOut, Jumbo 12-19-2024 08:06 PM CET | IT, New Media & Software Press release from: HTF Market Intelligence Consulting Private Limited Jigsaw Puzzle Market According to HTF Market Intelligence, the Global Jigsaw Puzzle market is expected to grow from USD 7.5 Billion in 2023 to USD 12 Billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 6.5% from 2024 to 2030.

Wearable Payments Devices Market to Scale New Heights as Market Players Focus on Innovations 2024-2030Kevin O’Connell won his 30th career game as a NFL head coach on Sunday afternoon, reaching the milestone faster than any coach in Vikings history and celebrating the victory in a manner that’s by now become familiar. The coach praised his players’ resilience in his locker room speech after the Vikings overcame a 13-point deficit in the final 16 minutes to beat the Cardinals 23-22 , saying he hadn’t once wondered whether they believed they could emerge with a victory. He acknowledged the Vikings’ imperfections, challenging them to keep chasing an ever-improving standard of play, and he gave out game balls to the players who’d produced the pivotal moments in the game. “Got our 10th win by December 1st, which I think is an accomplishment,” O’Connell said in his Sunday news conference . “Games are hard to win. I do think that’s a really well-coached, playoff-caliber football team in the other locker room. They made it hard on us. We’ve got to be a lot better offensively and see if we can not put ourselves in a hole. But I will say, you know, when we absolutely needed it, to put those drives together and find a way to get the points needed to win the game is obviously the intent of everything here.” O’Connell reached the 30-win mark in 46 games, two faster than Dennis Green and four faster than Bud Grant. That mark is built on the Vikings’ success in close games: they are 24-9 in one-score games under O’Connell, with a .727 win percentage that trails only the Eagles and Chiefs in that time, and their 7-1 mark this year is the second-best in the league behind only Kansas City’s 9-0 record. According to ESPN Stats and Information, O’Connell‘s record in one-score games is the third-best in league history, behind only Guy Chamberlin and John Madden. The frequency of the Vikings’ close games has become something of a gripe among fans, perhaps because of the stress they induce. This year, as in 2022, they’re frequently used in service of the narrative the Vikings are an illegitimate contender, with a florid record dressed up by narrow victories. Indeed, the Vikings resisted the urge to run it back after 2022, letting go of veterans like Adam Thielen, Dalvin Cook, Eric Kendricks and Za’Darius Smith after a season where a 13-4 record (despite the fact they’d been outscored) might have convinced them to return with the same group. They continued to remake the roster after 2023, and it’s entirely possible they’ll continue to do so after 2024, with a number of veterans on one-year contracts driving them toward a playoff berth that few saw coming . But in the two years where they have paired O’Connell with consistent quarterbacking, they have found a way to succeed in a league where close games are more prevalent than ever. The frequency of close games in the NFL has been ticking up for years, spurred on by the relatively even distribution of talent and rules that facilitate the kinds of passing games that can catalyze comebacks. With one game to go in Week 13 of the 2024 season, 106 of the 194 games have been decided by seven points or less, putting the league on pace for 148 in a 272-game season. That would break the record of 139, set in 2022. (It’s worth noting that the 2022 and 2023 seasons, which both had teams playing 17 games, rank atop the list, but the eight seasons with the most close games in NFL history have all occurred since 2010.) Compared to previous Vikings coaches, O’Connell has certainly coached an outsize portion of close games. Thirty-three of his 46 regular-season games, or 71.7%, have been decided by one score. That’s easily the highest percentage in Vikings history, ahead of Green (53.4%), Leslie Frazier (51.8%), Brad Childress (50%), Mike Zimmer (49.6%), Grant (48.2%), Mike Tice (47.6%), Les Steckel (43.8%), Jerry Burns (43.1%) and Norm Van Brocklin (31%). After losing three games by 17 points or more in 2022, though, the Vikings have played more close games in part because they haven’t been blown out much. They lost just once by three scores in 2023, and their two losses this season are by a total of 12 points. As a result, they have outscored opponents by 78 points this season, tied with the Packers for the fifth-best mark in the league. “The margin of victory tells some story about your team,” O’Connell said. “But I do know that if you stack a whole bunch of one-score wins together, and you don’t have any lopsided losses, your margin of victory is going to be at a good number for the season, and that means you played somewhat consistent.” The coach said he doesn’t think all one-score games “are created equally,” bringing up the differences between a five-point victory over the Jaguars where the Vikings held the ball for 42:19 and their 13-point comeback to beat the Cardinals by a point on Sunday. Against Arizona, though, Darnold delivered a performance that evoked Kirk Cousins’ work in the Vikings’ eight comeback wins two years ago. In engineering the biggest comeback of his career and just his fifth fourth-quarter comeback in the NFL, Darnold completed seven of his 12 passes for 104 yards and a touchdown in the fourth quarter. A week before, he‘d thrown for 90 yards on the Vikings’ game-winning overtime drive against the Bears . ”I don’t know how many times he’s had a game where he’s been down 10 or 13 points and been able to manifest that kind of scoring,” O’Connell said. “It’s almost a surgical level of doing [his] job and trying not to do too much, but also knowing, ‘My job might be to put a ball in a tight window here and there.’ ... When you stack them all up, it’s winning football.” Whether with Cousins (who returns to U.S. Bank Stadium with Atlanta on Sunday) or with Darnold, the Vikings continue to stack up one-score wins under O’Connell faster than at any point in their history.

The world-first bill that would make platforms including TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, X and Instagram liable for fines of up to 50 million Australian dollars ($33 million) for systemic failures to prevent young children from holding accounts is likely to be passed by the Senate on Thursday, the Parliament’s final session for the year and potentially the last before elections, which are due within months.

Tariffs could raise prices
Miami’s skyline is evolving rapidly, cementing the city’s status as a global destination for luxury living. A driving force behind this transformation is the surge in branded residences—luxury properties affiliated with iconic brands such as St. Regis , Aston Martin , Baccarat , and Bentley . But do these branded developments truly raise the bar for luxury real estate, or are they merely a marketing gimmick? Let’s delve into why branded residences are taking Miami by storm and whether they deliver on their promises. Branded residences are high-end residential properties that partner with luxury brands, incorporating the brand’s identity, design ethos, and service standards into the living experience. Although the brands don’t physically build the residences, they work closely with developers through branding agreements, allowing the property to carry the prestige of the brand name. For instance, the Aston Martin Residences doesn’t feature car manufacturing but integrates sleek, automotive-inspired interiors, reflecting the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship and elegance. This partnership adds allure, attracting buyers who identify with the brand’s luxury lifestyle. Miami has become a magnet for branded residential projects, with over 40 branded developments and more in the pipeline. But what makes Miami the ideal location for these luxury properties? ● Booming Real Estate Market: Miami’s real estate sector has seen tremendous growth, especially in the luxury segment. ● Tax-Friendly Jurisdiction: Florida’s lack of state income tax and favorable tax laws attract high-net-worth individuals from across the globe. ● Financial Hub: Miami is growing as an international financial center, drawing in wealthy investors and residents looking for high-end real estate. Furthermore, Miami’s appeal extends beyond economic advantages. The city boasts a vibrant cultural scene, exceptional dining, year-round tropical weather, and direct access to international travel through Miami International Airport. These factors make Miami not just a real estate investment hub but a lifestyle destination, attracting affluent individuals worldwide. Several branded projects stand out in Miami’s luxury real estate market: ● St. Regis Residences: Offers exclusive services like private dining, a wellness center, and a beach club. ● Aston Martin Residences: Features a “sky garage” allowing you to park next to your penthouse, bringing the brand’s sleek automotive aesthetic into daily living. ● Baccarat Residences: Combines the elegance of French design with Miami’s coastal lifestyle, featuring private pools and gourmet dining experiences. Other luxury brands such as Porsche, Bentley, Fendi, and Dolce & Gabbana are also making their mark on Miami’s evolving skyline. These developments reflect a broader trend where buyers increasingly seek alignment between their personal brand preferences and their living environments. Branded residences offer an unparalleled lifestyle, combining luxury with exclusivity. Here’s what sets them apart from standard luxury condos: Branded residences go beyond traditional amenities like pools and gyms. Residents enjoy access to unique features such as: ● Private dining rooms ● Cigar lounges ● Members-only beach clubs ● Private marinas Additionally, many branded residences integrate cutting-edge technology into their design. Smart home systems, biometric security features, and sustainable building practices are becoming standard in these developments, elevating their appeal to tech-savvy and environmentally conscious buyers. These properties offer round-the-clock services like 24/7 concierge, valet parking, personal shopping, and even on-demand spa treatments. Luxury brands like Baccarat and Bentley extend their reputation for excellence into daily living. Need concert tickets, yacht charters, or pet care? The concierge can handle it all, providing a five-star hotel experience in the comfort of your home. Branded residences attract affluent buyers who value privacy and exclusivity. These developments cultivate a sense of community among like-minded residents, whether networking over fine dining or forming friendships at exclusive clubs. In Miami, the diverse international mix of residents in branded residences further enhances the community experience, making these properties hubs for global networking and cultural exchange. The big question for potential buyers: Is the brand name worth the premium? Branded residences typically command a 25-30% price premium over non-branded luxury properties, with higher HOA fees reflecting the premium services and amenities offered. However, branded properties often provide better long-term value, selling faster and commanding higher resale prices. For example, Four Seasons Residences at Surfside saw resale prices soar by up to 180% over pre-construction prices. While branded residences offer unparalleled luxury, buyers should be prepared for higher ongoing costs. These properties are often bound by long-term management agreements with the brand, ensuring the residence maintains its high standards. As a result, HOA fees are significantly higher to cover premium services. Branded residences are not limited to Miami. This trend is global, with projects in cities like Dubai, New York, and London. The sector’s impressive trajectory is supported by an anticipated annual growth rate of 12% through 2026. This rise is fueled by the growing population of ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), projected to increase by 28.5% between 2022 and 2027. Florida, and particularly Miami, emerges as a leader in this market. With its tax benefits, international allure, and vibrant lifestyle, Miami offers the ideal conditions for branded developments to thrive, further cementing their premium status in luxury real estate. Globally, Asia and the Middle East are emerging as strong competitors in the branded residence market. For instance, Dubai has witnessed a surge in branded developments, including the Armani Residences and the Versace Palazzo. This global trend indicates that Miami’s market is not isolated but part of a broader, highly lucrative real estate strategy. Branded residences come with intricate legal agreements. Developers must adhere to strict guidelines set by the luxury brand, which often exceed standard real estate practices. These stipulations ensure that every element of the residence reflects the brand’s image and standards, from the quality of amenities to the governance of shared spaces in mixed-use developments. Buyers should also be aware of the potential challenges that come with these agreements, such as limited flexibility in property modifications and stringent resale conditions designed to protect the brand’s reputation. So, are branded residences the future of luxury living in Miami, or just a passing trend? With their unmatched amenities, personalized services, and exclusivity, it’s clear that they offer much more than just a famous name. For high-net-worth buyers, these properties promise not just a home, but a curated lifestyle aligned with their tastes and values. As Miami continues to attract wealth and talent, the branded residence model is poised for further evolution. Expect to see greater integration of sustainable practices, smart technologies, and even co-branding collaborations between multiple luxury brands to appeal to an increasingly discerning clientele. Branded residences may have started as a marketing tactic, but they have quickly become a new standard for luxury living. Offering more than just a well-known brand name, they provide a complete lifestyle experience, from exclusive services to tight-knit, affluent communities. For those looking to invest in a turnkey, worry-free luxury lifestyle, branded residences are here to stay.Teekay Group Announces Changes to Boards of DirectorsGuest Opinion: Still figuring out Medicare open enrollment? good luck

The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .One 'unloved, under-followed' ASX tech stock to buy nowThe State of Arkansas has received approval for more than $10.1 million in funding to bring statewide digital skills training and digital device programs to the state. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) approved $10,161,429.01 in funding through the State Digital Equity Capacity Grant Program (Capacity Grant Program) for the State of Arkansas. The Arkansas State Broadband Office (ARConnect) will utilize this funding to implement programs outlined in the state’s Digital Skills and Opportunity Plan, a comprehensive approach to addressing the digital skills gap that affects every corner of the state. “Growing our broadband infrastructure is a big part of connecting our state, but if Arkansans don’t have the skills to use this new technology, we won’t fully realize its benefit,” said Governor Sanders. “This funding will be critical to closing the digital divide and putting communities on the path to success.” “Having digital skills is a critical element of succeeding in the twenty-first century workforce, and Arkansas is committed to preparing its citizens for success,” said Secretary of Commerce Hugh McDonald. “The Arkansas State Broadband Office will play a vital role in helping ensure that Arkansans have the skills and training they need to take part in the workforce of today and tomorrow.” In addition to digital skills work and digital device initiatives, planned programming outlined in the state’s Digital Skills and Opportunity Plan includes expanding high-speed internet access at community anchor institutions like community centers and veterans’ organizations, as well as piloting expanded high-speed internet access at multiple-dwelling units. “Today is another step forward for the State of Arkansas in ensuring that every Arkansan has the ability and opportunity to self-determine their success in the twenty-first century digital economy,” said State Broadband Director Glen Howie. “If we think about economic development throughout the state, small business growth in our communities, and improved quality of life for every Arkansas family, having proper digital skills is a key component to unlocking that future. We are proud to take on that mission.”

Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO killing charged with murder in New York, court records show
B.C. Premier Eby says U.S. tariffs would be 'devastating' for forest industryAston Villa boss Unai Emery described the decision to rule out his side’s last-gasp goal in their Champions League draw with Juventus as “very soft” and has called for consistency from European referees. Morgan Rogers looked to have given Emery’s side another famous win when he slammed a loose ball home in stoppage time, but referee Jesus Gil Manzano ruled Diego Carlos to have fouled Juve goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the goal was chalked off. Contact seemed minimal but VAR did not intervene and Villa had to settle for a point in a 0-0 draw. “With the last action, it is the interpretation of the referee,” the Spaniard said. “In England , 80 per cent of those is given a goal and it’s not a foul. It’s very soft. “But in Europe, it could be a foul. We have to accept. “Everybody will know, in England the interpretation is different. The England referees, when actions like that the interpretation is a clear no foul but in Europe that interpretation is different. “They have to be working to get the same decision when some action like that is coming. I don’t know exactly why but we knew before in the Premier League that it is different. “In Europe for example we are not doing a block like in England and we are not doing in front of the goalkeeper in offensive corners the same situations like in England. “When the action happened, I was thinking here in Europe it’s a foul. In England not, but in Europe I have to accept it. “At first, I thought the referee gave us a goal. In cases like that, it’s confusing because he has to wait for VAR. I don’t know what happened but I think so (the referee changed his mind with VAR).” It was a disappointment for Villa, who remain unbeaten at home in their debut Champions League campaign and are still in contention to qualify automatically for the last 16. “We were playing a favourite to be in the top eight and usually a contender to win this competition,” Emery added. “We are a team who for a long time didn’t play in Europe and the Champions League and this year is very important. “We wanted to play competitive and we are in the right way. Today to get one point is very good, we wanted to win but wanted to avoid some mistakes we made in previous games. “We have 10 points and we’re happy.” Before the game Emery called Juventus one of the “best teams in the world, historically and now”, but this was an Italian side down to the bare bones. Only 14 outfield players made the trip from Turin, with striker Dusan Vlahovic among those who stayed behind. Juve boss Thiago Motta, whose side are 19th but still in contention to reach the top eight, said: “There’s just three games left to qualify. The next home against Man City, then Brugge, then Benfica. “One at a time, as we always did with the goal to qualify for the next round. “In the end we will try and reach our goal which is to go to the next round.”

Before the 2023 National Football League season started, it seemed inevitable that Bill Belichick would end his career as the winningest head coach in league history. He had won six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and 298 regular-season games, plus 31 playoff games, across his career. Then the 2023 season happened. Belichick's Patriots finished 4-13, the franchise's worst record since 1992. At the end of the year, Belichick and New England owner Robert Kraft agreed to part ways. And now, during the 2024 season, Belichick is on the sideline. He's 26 wins from the #1 spot, a mark he'd reach in little more than two seasons if he maintained his .647 career winning percentage. Will he ascend the summit? It's hard to tell. Belichick would be 73 if he graced the sidelines next season—meaning he'd need to coach until at least 75 to break the all-time mark. Only one other NFL coach has ever helmed a team at age 73: Romeo Crennel in 2020 for the Houston Texans. With Belichick's pursuit of history stalled, it's worth glancing at the legends who have reached the pinnacle of coaching success. Who else stands among the 10 winningest coaches in NFL history? Stacker ranked the coaches with the most all-time regular-season wins using data from Pro Football Reference . These coaches have combined for 36 league championships, which represents 31.6% of all championships won throughout the history of pro football. To learn who made the list, keep reading.

Still, he racked up nearly 200 wins across his 23-year career, including a stint in charge of the New York Giants, with whom he won Coach of the Year in 1993. In all his tenures, he quickly built contenders—the three clubs he coached were a combined 17-31 the year before Reeves joined and 28-20 in his first year. However, his career ended on a sour note as he was fired from a 3-10 Falcons team after Week 14 in 2003. - Seasons coached: 23 - Years active: 1969-91 - Record: 193-148-1 - Winning percentage: .566 - Championships: 4 Chuck Noll's Pittsburgh Steelers were synonymous with success in the 1970s. Behind his defense, known as the Steel Curtain, and offensive stars, including Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, and Lynn Swann, Noll led the squad to four Super Bowl victories from 1974 to 1979. Noll's Steelers remain the lone team to win four Super Bowls in six years, though Andy Reid and Kansas City could equal that mark if they win the Lombardi Trophy this season. Noll was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993, two years after retiring. His legacy of coaching success has carried on in Pittsburgh—the club has had only two coaches (Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin) since Noll retired. - Seasons coached: 21 - Years active: 1984-98, 2001-06 - Record: 200-126-1 - Winning percentage: .613 - Championships: 0 As head coach of Cleveland, Kansas City, Washington, and San Diego, Marty Schottenheimer proved a successful leader during the regular season. Notably, he was named Coach of the Year after turning around his 4-12 Chargers team to a 12-4 record in 2004. His teams, however, struggled during the playoffs. Schottheimer went 5-13 in the postseason, and he never made it past the conference championship round. As such, the Pennsylvania-born skipper is the winningest NFL coach never to win a league championship. - Seasons coached: 25 - Years active: 1946-62, '68-75 - Record: 213-104-9 - Winning percentage: .672 - Championships: 7 The only coach on this list to pilot a college team, Paul Brown, reached the pro ranks after a three-year stint at Ohio State and two years with the Navy during World War II. He guided the Cleveland Browns—named after Brown, their first coach—to four straight titles in the fledgling All-America Football Conference. After the league folded, the ballclub moved to the NFL in 1950, and Cleveland continued its winning ways, with Brown leading the team to championships in '50, '54, and '55. He was fired in 1963 but returned in 1968 as the co-founder and coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. His other notable accomplishments include helping to invent the face mask and breaking pro football's color barrier . - Seasons coached: 33 - Years active: 1921-53 - Record: 226-132-22 - Winning percentage: .631 - Championships: 6 An early stalwart of the NFL, Curly Lambeau spent 29 years helming the Green Bay Packers before wrapping up his coaching career with two-year stints with the Chicago Cardinals and Washington. His Packers won titles across three decades, including the league's first three-peat from 1929-31. Notably, he experienced only one losing season during his first 27 years with Green Bay, cementing his legacy of consistent success. Born in Green Bay, Lambeau co-founded the Packers and played halfback on the team from 1919-29. He was elected to the Hall of Fame as a coach and owner in 1963, two years before his death.

The Cowboys were especially dominant in the 1970s when they made five Super Bowls and won the big game twice. Landry was known for coaching strong all-around squads and a unit that earned the nickname the "Doomsday Defense." Between 1966 and 1985, Landry and his Cowboys enjoyed 20 straight seasons with a winning record. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1990. - Seasons coached: 26 - Years active: 1999-present - Record: 267-145-1 - Winning percentage: .648 - Championships: 3 The only active coach in the top 10, Andy Reid has posted successful runs with both the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City. After reaching the Super Bowl once in 14 years with the Eagles, Reid ratcheted things up with K.C., winning three titles since 2019. As back-to-back defending champions, Reid and Co. are looking this season to become the first franchise to three-peat in the Super Bowl era and the third to do so in NFL history after the Packers of 1929-31 and '65-67. Time will tell if Reid and his offensive wizardry can lead Kansas City to that feat. - Seasons coached: 40 - Years active: 1920-29, '33-42, '46-55, '58-67 - Record: 318-148-31 - Winning percentage: .682 - Championships: 6 George Halas was the founder and longtime owner of the Chicago Bears and coached the team across four separate stints. Nicknamed "Papa Bear," he built the ballclub into one of the NFL's premier franchises behind players such as Bronko Nagurski and Sid Luckman. Halas also played for the team, competing as a player-coach in the 1920s. The first coach to study opponents via game film, he was once a baseball player and even made 12 appearances as a member of the New York Yankees in 1919. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1963 as both a coach and owner. - Seasons coached: 33 - Years active: 1963-95 - Record: 328-156-6 - Winning percentage: .677 - Championships: 2 The winningest head coach in NFL history is Don Shula, who first coached the Baltimore Colts (losing Super Bowl III to Joe Namath and the New York Jets) for seven years before leading the Miami Dolphins for 26 seasons. With the Fins, Shula won back-to-back Super Bowls in 1972 and 1973, a run that included a 17-0 season—the only perfect campaign in NFL history. He also coached quarterback great Dan Marino in the 1980s and '90s, but the pair made it to a Super Bowl just once. Shula was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1997. Story editing by Mike Taylor.

Still, he racked up nearly 200 wins across his 23-year career, including a stint in charge of the New York Giants, with whom he won Coach of the Year in 1993. In all his tenures, he quickly built contenders—the three clubs he coached were a combined 17-31 the year before Reeves joined and 28-20 in his first year. However, his career ended on a sour note as he was fired from a 3-10 Falcons team after Week 14 in 2003. - Seasons coached: 23 - Years active: 1969-91 - Record: 193-148-1 - Winning percentage: .566 - Championships: 4 Chuck Noll's Pittsburgh Steelers were synonymous with success in the 1970s. Behind his defense, known as the Steel Curtain, and offensive stars, including Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, and Lynn Swann, Noll led the squad to four Super Bowl victories from 1974 to 1979. Noll's Steelers remain the lone team to win four Super Bowls in six years, though Andy Reid and Kansas City could equal that mark if they win the Lombardi Trophy this season. Noll was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993, two years after retiring. His legacy of coaching success has carried on in Pittsburgh—the club has had only two coaches (Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin) since Noll retired. - Seasons coached: 21 - Years active: 1984-98, 2001-06 - Record: 200-126-1 - Winning percentage: .613 - Championships: 0 As head coach of Cleveland, Kansas City, Washington, and San Diego, Marty Schottenheimer proved a successful leader during the regular season. Notably, he was named Coach of the Year after turning around his 4-12 Chargers team to a 12-4 record in 2004. His teams, however, struggled during the playoffs. Schottheimer went 5-13 in the postseason, and he never made it past the conference championship round. As such, the Pennsylvania-born skipper is the winningest NFL coach never to win a league championship. - Seasons coached: 25 - Years active: 1946-62, '68-75 - Record: 213-104-9 - Winning percentage: .672 - Championships: 7 The only coach on this list to pilot a college team, Paul Brown, reached the pro ranks after a three-year stint at Ohio State and two years with the Navy during World War II. He guided the Cleveland Browns—named after Brown, their first coach—to four straight titles in the fledgling All-America Football Conference. After the league folded, the ballclub moved to the NFL in 1950, and Cleveland continued its winning ways, with Brown leading the team to championships in '50, '54, and '55. He was fired in 1963 but returned in 1968 as the co-founder and coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. His other notable accomplishments include helping to invent the face mask and breaking pro football's color barrier . - Seasons coached: 33 - Years active: 1921-53 - Record: 226-132-22 - Winning percentage: .631 - Championships: 6 An early stalwart of the NFL, Curly Lambeau spent 29 years helming the Green Bay Packers before wrapping up his coaching career with two-year stints with the Chicago Cardinals and Washington. His Packers won titles across three decades, including the league's first three-peat from 1929-31. Notably, he experienced only one losing season during his first 27 years with Green Bay, cementing his legacy of consistent success. Born in Green Bay, Lambeau co-founded the Packers and played halfback on the team from 1919-29. He was elected to the Hall of Fame as a coach and owner in 1963, two years before his death.

The Cowboys were especially dominant in the 1970s when they made five Super Bowls and won the big game twice. Landry was known for coaching strong all-around squads and a unit that earned the nickname the "Doomsday Defense." Between 1966 and 1985, Landry and his Cowboys enjoyed 20 straight seasons with a winning record. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1990. - Seasons coached: 26 - Years active: 1999-present - Record: 267-145-1 - Winning percentage: .648 - Championships: 3 The only active coach in the top 10, Andy Reid has posted successful runs with both the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City. After reaching the Super Bowl once in 14 years with the Eagles, Reid ratcheted things up with K.C., winning three titles since 2019. As back-to-back defending champions, Reid and Co. are looking this season to become the first franchise to three-peat in the Super Bowl era and the third to do so in NFL history after the Packers of 1929-31 and '65-67. Time will tell if Reid and his offensive wizardry can lead Kansas City to that feat. - Seasons coached: 29 - Years active: 1991-95, 2000-23 - Record: 302-165 - Winning percentage: .647 - Championships: 6 The most successful head coach of the 21st century, Bill Belichick first coached the Cleveland Browns before taking over the New England Patriots in 2000. With the Pats, Belichick combined with quarterback Tom Brady to win six Super Bowls in 18 years. Belichick and New England split after last season when the Patriots went 4-13—the worst record of Belichick's career. His name has swirled around potential coaching openings , but nothing has come of it. Belichick has remained in the media spotlight with his regular slot on the "Monday Night Football" ManningCast. - Seasons coached: 40 - Years active: 1920-29, '33-42, '46-55, '58-67 - Record: 318-148-31 - Winning percentage: .682 - Championships: 6 George Halas was the founder and longtime owner of the Chicago Bears and coached the team across four separate stints. Nicknamed "Papa Bear," he built the ballclub into one of the NFL's premier franchises behind players such as Bronko Nagurski and Sid Luckman. Halas also played for the team, competing as a player-coach in the 1920s. The first coach to study opponents via game film, he was once a baseball player and even made 12 appearances as a member of the New York Yankees in 1919. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1963 as both a coach and owner. - Seasons coached: 33 - Years active: 1963-95 - Record: 328-156-6 - Winning percentage: .677 - Championships: 2 The winningest head coach in NFL history is Don Shula, who first coached the Baltimore Colts (losing Super Bowl III to Joe Namath and the New York Jets) for seven years before leading the Miami Dolphins for 26 seasons. With the Fins, Shula won back-to-back Super Bowls in 1972 and 1973, a run that included a 17-0 season—the only perfect campaign in NFL history. He also coached quarterback great Dan Marino in the 1980s and '90s, but the pair made it to a Super Bowl just once. Shula was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1997. Story editing by Mike Taylor.
