For The Win
Andy Reid has nothing left to prove in his NFL career. He’s the winningest coach in franchise history for both the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles — the two teams who’ll meet in the 2025 Super Bowl.
He’s led those squads to 273 regular season wins in 26 seasons as a head coach. That’s fourth most in league history but still 55 behind all-time leader Don Shula. With that target in reach — it would take about four seasons given the Chiefs’ current success — and Bill Belichick (third on the list) now coaching at North Carolina, it’s possible he takes the crown before the decade is up.

But Reid is also the NFL’s second-oldest coach at 66 years old in a league where guys like Pete Carroll, just hired as Las Vegas Raiders play-caller at 73 this winter, are an anomaly. Could Super Bowl 59 be his swan song?
Not according to Reid.
“Yes, I’ll be back,” Reid told reporters at the 2025 Super Bowl media night. When asked whether he’d return to chase Shula, he denied a spot in the record books was his motivation.
“That’s not part of it,” said Reid. “I just enjoy teaching. I don’t get caught up much in the stats or the records. I enjoy being around the guys. I enjoy football, the game. You can’t put in the hours we do and not enjoy it. I love the game.”
His love of the game will leave Kansas City in good hands through at least the 2025 NFL season.
