Andy Reid told the members of the media on February 3 No plans to retire soon. During the Super Bowl Lix opening evening when he was asked if he would put his playing sheet on if the Chiefs won the big game on Sunday, Reid said: “Ah no, I’m not there yet … I’m not going in retirement. “
Reid added that he did not compare his age (66) with the age of the former head coach of Tampa Bay Bay Buccaners Bruce Arians when he became the oldest coach who ever won a great bowl at the age of 68.
“Yes, I don’t think about it, but Bruce was a great coach,” said Reid. “He was also a good man. But you don’t know. I enjoy what I do. “
Reid was not the only person who had to dispel gossip about his reparation. The chairman and CEO of Kansas City Chiefs, Clark Hunt, also concluded the idea of
“Yes, I was always surprised when I heard these rumors because I know how much fun Andy has,” said Hunt of the Washington Posts of the Washington Post Nicki Jhabvala. “I think he is rejuvenated in many ways by the success the team had. He certainly has the quarterback that is a perfect addition to him in Patrick, and I know that he loves what he is doing. I am glad that we have not heard any of these rumors this year. I know he will be back next year. So we will arrive there when we arrive there, but I think Andy loves what he does and will do for a long time. “
Even old trainers have dealt on this matter. The former head coach and Super Bowl winner Dick Vermeil said there was no chance that Reid will retire after this season.
“I know him well”, dermal said TMZ. “He’s not finished at all.”
What does Andy Reid’s future look like?
Andy Reid will at least be the immediate future of the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. Although there are some uncertainties about his long-term position, one can assume that he will train Kansas City until the end of the 2025-26 campaign.
To be fair, I don’t think someone was shocked if Reid would announce his retirement after the game on Sunday, especially if the chiefs win. He would not only retire as a super bowl champion, but also the first coach in the NFL story to win three consecutive Lombardi trophies.
Reid is a Hall of Famer before this Sunday. The man has been head coach for 26 seasons and only had a loss of record three times. In fact, he has more super bowl appearances in his career as head coach than the seasons. In addition, his 301 career season and playoff victories are the fourth most common time behind Don Shula, George Halas and Bill Belichick.
There is no doubt that Andy Reid is installed in the Pro Football Hall of Fame if he decides to give up the tasks of the head coach. But why should he stop training now?
Since the beginning of the 2022 season, the Kansas City Chiefs have been the best team in the NFL. They also show no signs of slowing down with Patrick Mahomes, who are under contract and travis Kelce for at least three years confirm his commitment to playing. Between Reid, Kelce and Mahomes, the core of Kansas City will be intact for a few more years, which means that they will fight for championships during this time.
If the chiefs were a team with the Bottom feeder team, Reid would have tried more to leave the NFL. However, the chiefs still compete for Super Bowls every year. If you are still able to win the Super Bowl, drive with this dynamic until the wheels drop. Hell, we could talk about the five-time Super Bowl champion Andy Reid in two years.
