Daniel Edward Reeves (born January 19, 1944) is a former American football running back and head coach in the National Football League. He participated in nine Super Bowls as player and coach, and has nine conference championships (6 NFC, 3 AFC), which is more than anyone else. He played in two Super Bowls (V, VI), was an assistant coach in three more (X, XII, XIII), and was head coach in four: XXI, XXII, and XXIV with the Denver Broncos, and XXXIII with the Atlanta Falcons. Despite his playoff success, however, he also is tied with Jeff Fisher for the NFL record of most regular-season losses as a head coach, with 165.
Born in Rome, Georgia, Reeves grew up in Americus, Georgia. He attended Americus High School, where he practiced football, baseball and basketball.
After he missed four games with a broken collarbone during his senior season, only the University of South Carolina was interested enough to offer him a football scholarship. The interest from other schools came later, when he won the MVP trophy at the Georgia High School football All-star game, but he decided to stay with his first choice. He also was selected to the All-state basketball team in 1961.
