Notes
- a A running total of the number of coaches of the Flyers. Thus any coach who has two or more separate terms as head coach is only counted once.
- b Neilson went on medical leave on February 20, 2000[35] and initially planned on returning at the end of the first round of the playoffs, but his doctors advised the Flyers that he lacked the strength to perform his duties as head coach. After interim coach Craig Ramsay led the Flyers to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Flyers named Ramsay head coach.[35] The games Ramsay coached in place of Neilson are officially counted on Neilson's coaching totals.[36]
