Eagles coach Nick Sirianni improved his career record to 55-22 on Monday night, placing him in some truly elite company. With a regular-season winning percentage of .714, Sirianni now ranks fourth-best among all NFL coaches in history.
Prior to Monday, Sirianni had held the fifth spot all-time, but he moved ahead of Hall of Fame coach George Allen with this latest win. The all-time winningest coach by percentage is Guy Chamberlin, who served as player/coach for several teams—including the Canton Bulldogs, Cleveland Bulldogs, Frankford Yellow Jackets, and Chicago Cardinals—from 1922 to 1927. Chamberlin’s record in that early NFL era was 58-16-7. At the time, tie games were not counted in the standings, giving him a winning percentage of .784.
The next-best record belongs to John Madden, the legendary Raiders head coach. Madden, who later became widely known as a broadcaster and lent his name to a popular video game franchise, posted a 103-32-7 regular-season record with the Raiders. His winning percentage was .759.
In third place all-time is Vince Lombardi, who achieved a 96-34-6 record as head coach. His winning percentage stood at .738.
Now, Nick Sirianni, in his fifth season as the Eagles head coach, has matched a level of success that few in NFL history can claim. He has already won a Super Bowl and appeared in another, solidifying his place among the game’s coaching greats with a remarkable career winning percentage.
