For years, Peyton Manning kept ruining Gary Kubiak’s life. From 2006 to 2010, both men were in the AFC South, and Kubiak never managed more than 9 wins or a division title. He finished his time in Houston with a 61-64 record, before joining the Broncos in 2015. That makes Kubiak just the 7th head coach who had a losing career record prior to the season in which his team won the Super Bowl.
The coach with the worst career record before winning it all? That would be Bill Walsh, who held an 8-24 record entering the 1981 season.
The man with the most career games coached prior to winning his first Super Bowl? Bill Cowher, of course, who coached for 13 years and 208 games prior to the 2005 season.
