Andy Reid Makes Blunt Admission About His Future With the Chiefs
Andy Reid hints at his own retirement timeline while making it clear Patrick Mahomes will be with the Chiefs long after he's gone.
Andy Reid, one of the NFL's greatest coaches, has hinted at his future with the Kansas City Chiefs. Currently fourth all-time in regular-season coaching wins and second in playoff wins, Reid has also secured three Super Bowl rings and six conference championships. The Greasy Neale Award, Sporting News Coach of the Year, and AP NFL Coach of the Year have all been his.
Reid has transformed the Philadelphia Eagles into a top team from 1999 to 2012 and has steered the Chiefs to a dynasty status. At 68, Reid has already accomplished more than many coaches, prompting speculation about his remaining tenure with the Chiefs. During a recent interview, Reid subtly suggested that retirement might be near, although not in the immediate future.
He reassured that his star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, will be with the team longer than he is. Mahomes, now 31, has broken records and could potentially play into his 40s, as seen with other modern greats like Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Reid's contract runs through 2029, implying a likely retirement timeline of around 71.
