I forgot Flores and the Chiefs
Name the four super bowl winning coaches who won and played for the team they coached to the win ?
Yes Flores of course three more
Gary Kubiak and Doug Pederson most recently.

Ditka, Flores, Kubiak for sure.
Maybe Dungy, Doug Pedersen.

BobK - 01-20-2022
Not Dungy my guess also but Doug Peterson

No, he is definitely a Stanford man. He played under Bill Walsh and held several records. He earned a BS in industrial engineering in 1978.
Edit: He's still No. 1 in Stanford receiving touchdowns!
Here's his Pro Football Hall of Fame page:

Thanks, that's what I was saying, I'm glad the player who lost five in a row went to a different Bay Area school, not Stanford.

Of course, the other side of that coin comes from baseball…
I just wish I could remember who said it…
When asked about all the losses he was ringing up one year, the pitcher responded (paraphrasing), “I must be doing something right, they keep giving me the ball every four days”.
I would imagine that Dan Fouts would love to have had just one chance to play in the game.

Hey got it! Wonder if Gilbert got any snaps in any of the five games.
Cal has had a bunch of very good QB's. Not up to Stanford standards but:
Paul Larson, Joe Kapp, Morton, Rich Campbell, Bartkowski, Ferragamo, Joe Roth, Boller, Rodgers. And Stanford killer J Torchio.

Gilbert only played in one Super Bowl (SF v. San Diego).

Ironically Dan Fouts and Philip Rivers never played in the Super Bowl for the Chargers but Stan Humphries and Gale Gilbert did.
