I think the context is what is missing. Kubiak was Elway's backup, then QB coach. And they were in the super bowl together. I believe if they simply meant a former player coaching the team and winning that would mean Ditka did it first. But I'm sure they meant as a player and coach to win the super bowl.
However, if we don't stipulate whether it's as head coach or not Ditka still comes to mind as a Dallas cowboy.

Could be, People in the article I linked are saying the same thing that he is not the first.

This is directly from said article
Gary Kubiak made history on Sunday, becoming the first head coach to win a Super Bowl for the same team he used to played for.

My favorite teams
Tom Flores played for the Raiders and won the SB as the Raiders' head coach. Nantz never said won the SB as a player and coach...

OK I did some research Ditka and Tom Flores are the only coaches to win SB's as players, assistant coaches and head coaches. As a player Flores won a SB with the Chiefs and Ditka with the Cowboys. Kubiak never won one . As Assistant coaches Ditka won with Dallas, Flores with the Raiders and Kubiak with SF and Denver. And as HC Ditka with the Bears, Flores with the Raiders, and now Kubiak with Denver.
So all three played for the same teams that they won a SB as a head coach and none of them won a SB as a player on those teams. Unless you count the Bears championship in 63 when Ditka was playing.
Edited to fix some mistakes. It should be good now

No. Kubiak never won as a player.
Plus, Ditka won a championship with the Bears as player and coach, albeit the player part was before the Super Bowl existed.

No worries. Point being, no matter how they meant it, they were wrong.

Wrong because Nantz never said anything about in his first year period. Even if that is what he meant he didn't say that.

I stand corrected then, I was drunk so my bad. The announcer didn't remember 1985, nobody does but us on a consistent basis. Still sad that a guy who gets paid to cover football would say that so I get it.

This is the only time I noticed it being said and I could have sworn he clarified first year. Others say I'm wrong though so I believe them. I do not care enough about this meaningless stat to watch that boring game again. Nor do I care enough about ditka to really care if they snubbed him on this one.
