Between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys, Mike McCarthy has been coaching in the NFC for 18 years, and he's accrued a record of 174-112-2 in that time.

Underhill also shared that Moore is the leader in the clubhouse:

The city hosting the Super Bowl also has the only NFL team without a head coach. The New Orleans Saints' search for a new coach could wait until after the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs wrap up the big game next Sunday.
