Which coach has appeared as a coach in the most Super Bowls?

Harder than it looks, because being an assistant coach (defensive coordinator, special teams coach, etc.) of any kind counts as well.

My guess is [Dan Reeves](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Reeves) with 7 – 4 as head coach, 3 as an assistant. He also had 2 additional appearances as a player.

[Don Shula](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Shula) holds the record for most super bowl appearances as a head coach with 6.
