Who is th first African American coach to lead team to the super bowl?

Answer 1

Lovie Smith of the Chicago Bears.

The first Super Bowl to have a team head coached by an African-American was Super Bowl XLI between the Bears and Indianapolis Colts. Ironically, both head coaches were African-American (Tony Dungy was the head coach of the Colts) but Smith was first as the Bears defeated the Saints in the NFC Championship game played several hours before the Colts defeated the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game.

Technically, it was Lovie Smith of the 2006 Chicago Bears. On January 21, 2007, the Bears defeated the New Orleans Saints for the National Football Conference championship, 39-14. Several hours later, Tony Dungy duplicated Smith's feat when the Indianapolis Colts defeated the New England Patriots, 38-34, for the American Football Conference championship.

Two weeks later, Dungy became the first African-American head coach to win an NFL championship when the Colts defeated the Bears in Super Bowl XLI in Miami, 29-17.
