Cradle of Coaches - Super Bowl Champions

[edit]

Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, is known as the "Cradle of Coaches." The phrase was coined by former Miami (Ohio) sports information director Bob Kurz. [1]

The success of coaches with Miami ties is well documented. Recently, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and LA Rams head coach Sean McVay, both Miami graduates, have coached Super Bowl champions. Three N.F.L. head coaches, who are also Miami University graduates, have coached their teams to victories on the sports biggest stage.

Harbaugh coached the Ravens to the World Championship on February 3, 2013, a 34-31 win over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII. [2]

McVay coached the Rams to the World Championship on February 13, 2022, a 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI. [3]

Weeb Ewbank (Miami, 1924) coached the New York Jets to the World Championship on January 12, 1969, a 16-7 win over the Baltimore Colts. [4]
