Andy Reid told media members on February 3 that he had No retirement plan as soon as. During the opening evening of the Super Bowl Lix, when he was asked if he would hang up his game sheet if the chiefs won the big match on Sunday, Reid said: “Ah no, I’m not yet there, no … I do not retire “,”
Reid added that he does not compare his age (66) at the age of the former head coaches of Tampa Bay Buccaneers Bruce Arians when he won, he became the oldest coach to have won a Super Bowl to 68 years old.
“Yeah, I don’t think about it, but Bruce was an excellent coach,” said Reid. “He was also a good man. But you don’t know. I appreciate what I do.
Reid was not the only person who was to dispel the gossip surrounding his recovery. The president and chief executive officer of Kansas City, Clark Hunt, also closed the idea of retiring from Reid.
“Yeah, I have always been surprised when I heard these rumors because I know how much Andy has fun,” Hunt told Washington Post Nicki Jhabvala. “He, in many ways, I think, is rejuvenated by the success of the team. Admittedly, it is equal to the quarter-tree which is a perfect complement for him to Patrick, and I know he likes what he does. I’m glad we haven’t heard any of these rumors this year, I know it will be back next year. So we’re going to get there when we get there, but I think Andy likes what he is doing and will do it for a long time. “”
Even the old coaches have come about it. Former chiefing coach and Super Bowl winner Dick Vermeil, said that there was no chance of Reid’s retirement after this season.
“I know him well”, vermeil Tmz said. “It is not finished at all.”
What is the future of Andy Reid like?
Andy Reid will be the chief of Kansas City chiefs for at least the immediate future. Although there is a certain uncertainty about its long-term position, it is prudent to suppose that it will cause Kansas City until the end of the 2025-26 campaign.
To be fair, I don’t think anyone would have been shocked if Reid announced his retirement after Sunday’s match, especially if the chiefs won. Not only would he retire as a Super Bowl champion, but he would also become the first coach in NFL history to win three consecutive Lombardi trophies.
Even before this Sunday, Reid is a temple of fame. The man has been coach for 26 seasons and had only a loser record only three times. In fact, he has more appearances at the Super Bowl in his career as a head coach than losing seasons. In addition, his 301 regular seasonal victories in career and his playoffs are the fourth of all time behind Don Shula, George Halas and Bill Belichick.
There is no doubt that Andy Reid will be registered in the temple of renown of professional football each time he decides to give up the tasks of head coach. But why would he want to stop training now?
Since the start of the 2022 season, Kansas City chiefs have been the best NFL team. They also show no signs of slowdown with Patrick Mahomes still under contract for at least three years and Travis Kelce Reaffirming his commitment to play. Between Reid, Kelce and Mahomes, the kernel of Kansas City will be intact for a few more years, which means that they will participate in championships during this period.
If the chiefs were a background team, then Reid would be more tempted to leave the NFL. However, the chefs are still arguing for the Super Bowls on an annual basis. If you are still able to win the Super Bowl, mount this momentum until the wheels fall. Hell, we could talk about the five -time champion of Super Bowl Andy Reid in two years.
