Can Andy Reid be Considered Among the NFL’s Best Coaches?

The Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champions, again, after defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 on Sunday. Andy Reid earned his second championship in his 10-year tenure as the Chiefs’ head coach. He has taken the Chiefs to three Super Bowls in five years (2020, 2021, 2023).

Reid continues the trend of coaches winning multiple Super Bowls with the same team. He looks to cement his legacy after announcing he will not retire and plans to continue with the Chiefs.
