This is a list of New Jersey Devils head coaches. 17 men have served as head coach of the New Jersey Devils since the team moved to New Jersey for the 1982–83 NHL season, with Jacques Lemaire serving as coach three times and Tom McVie, Larry Robinson, and Lou Lamoriello each serving two different times.
Three different coaches have led the team to 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.
The team hired John Hynes on June 2, 2015. The previous most recent head coach was Peter DeBoer, who was named on July 19, 2011. On December 26th, 2014, DeBoer was released from duty. Coaching responsibilities were split among three men: Lou Lamoriello, Scott Stevens, and Adam Oates for the remainder of the 2014-15 season.
