Best HC to win just one post-season game

Super Bowl-era (1966 - present), that is.

Joe Schmidt is the only (nonactive) coach in the Super Bowl era to have a .500 record while coaching just one playoff game, so I'd probably be putting him at the top of the list. Bill O'Brien and Mike Zimmer on the list as well; O'Brien will be coaching his second playoff game next week.


*******EDIT*********
Obviously I misread the OP'S. I thought it was best coach to COACH one postseason game.

Best HC to win exactly one playoff game in the SB era? Either Wade Phillips or Jack Pardee. 2 guys with a lot of different jobs on their resume but not much playoff success as a head coach.

How about Mike Smith? For now, at least. Bound to land another HC gig in the near-future.

[Todd Pence]

Jack Del Rio?

What about Leeman Bennett as Falcons head coach? I think he won just 1 and in my opinion was fired too soon. I realize his Tampa resume was not good, but they had an empty decade or two after McKay .....or at least it seems.

The Browns trio of Nick Skorich, Sam Rutigliano and Bud Carson served as coaches over a collective 12 seasons. Skorich and Rutigliano both coached a pair of playoff games and each lost both. Carson won his first (barely) over Buffalo in his first year, then lost to Denver in the 1989 AFC title game. He was then fired the following November
