Andy Reid has built quite the resume as a head coach during his career, posting 273 wins (fourth all-time), 26 playoff wins (second), five conference championships (tied for third) and three Super Bowl titles (tied for third). .
And he could very well add more hardware to his illustrious career, paired with the NFL's best player, Patrick Mahomes. When all is said and done, he can be considered the GOAT of NFL head coaches. Some might say it's already there.
“I think he's the best coach in history,” one executive told The Athletic's Jeff Howe. “I really do.”
That distinction is usually reserved for Bill Belichick, who has the most Super Bowl titles in history (six) among coaches and ranks third in regular-season wins (302) and first in playoffs (31). Like Reid, Belichick was fortunate to be paired with an elite quarterback (and arguably the greatest quarterback ever in Tom Brady).
Reid may never catch Belichick in his pursuit of a Super Bowl title, but he will almost certainly surpass him in both playoff and regular season wins if he continues to coach for a few more years. He might even catch Don Shula's record of 328 regular-season wins, although that would require five more seasons with at least 11 wins.
With the Chiefs reaching that mark in 10 of Reid's 12 seasons with the team — and with the likelihood of surpassing 11 wins in several of those campaigns, with Mahomes keeping them among the NFL's elite — it's very much within reach. turning point if Reid is interested in coaching into his 70s.
