With a storied 26-year career and nearing his 67th birthday, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is focused on the present as he prepares for Super Bowl LIX against the Philadelphia Eagles. Reid's impressive record includes three Super Bowl victories and the distinction of being the only NFL coach with 100+ wins for two different franchises. He led the Eagles from 1999-2012 before taking the helm of the Chiefs in 2013.
As the second-oldest active coach in the league (behind the Raiders' 73-year-old Pete Carroll), Reid's future has been the subject of speculation. He addressed these rumors upon arriving in New Orleans, confirming, "Yes, I’ll be back." This statement aligns with Chiefs owner Clark Hunt's belief that Reid is far from retirement. Hunt recently expressed confidence that Reid would continue coaching, emphasizing his dedication and passion for the game.
While Reid's 273 regular season and 28 playoff wins place him within striking distance of coaching legends like Don Shula, Bill Belichick, and George Halas, he insists his decision to return isn't driven by record-breaking ambitions. Reid emphasized his love for teaching and the game itself, highlighting the dedication required for such a demanding career. He expressed genuine enjoyment in working with his players and the inherent passion he has for football.
Super Bowl LIX, streamed on Tubi, is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET on February 9th at the Caesars Superdome and will be broadcast on FOX.
