RIP Don. Wish you had stayed in Detroit.

He has the most wins of all nfl coaches. Lions had both Shula and Belichick early in their respective careers. Wayne Fontes leads the Lions at 66 or 67 wins. I found two different numbers for Wayne. Both are pathetic.

Top ten.

Shula 328.
Halas 318.
Belichick 273.
Landry 250.
Lambeau 226.
Reid 207.
Schottenheimer 200.
Noll 193.
Reeves 190.
Knox 186
