List of New Jersey Devils head coaches

None

This is a list of New Jersey Devils head coaches. The Devils had 17 different head coaches since the team moved to New Jersey in the 1982–83, with Jacques Lemaire serving as coach three times and Tom McVie, Larry Robinson, and Lou Lamoriello each serving twice. Three coaches have led the team to a victory in the Stanley Cup Finals: Lemaire in 1995, Robinson in 2000, and Pat Burns in 2003. Lemaire is the all time leader in games coached and wins, while Burns leads in winning percentage (with at least one full season coached). Several former players have worked for the Devils as assistant coaches, including John MacLean and Bobby Carpenter, the only men whose names are inscribed on the Stanley Cup as both a player and a coach with New Jersey. MacLean later served as head coach and is the only former Devils' player to serve in that capacity. On December 26, 2014, after the firing of DeBoer, head coaching responsibilities were split between Adam Oates and Scott Stevens for the remainder of the 2014–15 season, with Lamoriello supervising the team from the bench.

Note: This list does not include data from the Kansas City Scouts and the Colorado Rockies. Statistics are correct through the firing of Ruff during the 2023–24 season. #NameDatesRegular seasonPlayoffsAchievementsRef GC W L T OTL Pts Win% GC W L1Bill MacMillanJune 30, 1983 – November 22, 1983100196714—52.260———2Tom McVieNovember 22, 1983 – May 31, 19846015387—37.308———3Doug CarpenterMay 31, 1984 – January 26, 198829010016624—224.386———4Jim SchoenfeldJanuary 26, 1988 – November 6, 1989124505915—115.464201195John CunniffNovember 6, 1989 – March 4, 1991133595618—136.511624—Tom McVieMarch 4, 1991 – June 5, 199293423615—99.53214687Jacques Lemaire§June 28, 1993 – May 8, 199837819912257—455.602563422Stanley Cup champions (1995)Jack Adams Award (1994)8Robbie FtorekMay 21, 1998 – March 23, 20001568844195200.6257349Larry Robinson§March 23, 2000 – January 28, 20021417343196171.606483117Stanley Cup champions (2000)10Kevin ConstantineJanuary 28, 2002 – June 13, 2002312082143.67762411Pat Burns§June 13, 2002 – July 14, 20051648945228208.634291712Stanley Cup champions (2003)—Larry RobinsonJuly 14, 2005 – December 19, 2005321413—533.516———13Claude JulienJune 13, 2006 – April 2, 2007794724—8102.646————Lou LamorielloApril 2, 2007 – July 12, 2007320—15.8331156—Jacques LemaireJuly 13, 2009 – April 26, 2010824827—7103.628514—Jacques LemaireDecember 23, 2010 – April 10, 2011492917—361.622———17Adam OatesScott StevensDecember 27, 2014 – June 2, 2015462017—747.511———18John HynesJune 2, 2015 – December 3, 2019354150159—45345.487514—Alain NasreddineDecember 3, 2019 – July 9, 2020431916—846.535———19Lindy RuffJuly 9, 2020 – March 4, 2024281128125—28284.5051257—Travis GreenMarch 4, 2024 – May 7, 202421812—117.405———
