A supernova may have been a supergiant star at one time, but it did not have to be. Any star with a mass greater than 3 times our sun will supernova. There are millions of stars having masses between 3 solar masses and supergiant mass for every single supergiant star... and every one will supernova when it dies.

A normal Red giant doesn't actually explode, the core just collapses again to cause a white dwarf and the outer layers are ejected to form planetary Nebulae.
