The Kansas City Chiefs are in their fifth Super Bowl in six years, continuing unparalleled success under head coach Andy Reid. During Super Bowl media week, the long-time coach is constantly forced to address his future, and this year in New Orleans is no different.
During his press conference on Tuesday, Reid ended the speculation and eliminated the distractions ahead of Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
“I enjoy teaching, so I don’t get caught up too much on all the stats and all that, all the records and all that stuff,” said Reid. “But I enjoy being around the guys. I enjoy football, the game. You can’t put in the hours that we do and not enjoy it. So I really love the game. Yes, I’ll be back.”
Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt indicated on Monday that Reid would return next season and would no longer hold the title as the league’s oldest head coach. The Las Vegas Raiders’ hitting Pete Carroll has given him back that designation, while the AFC West will sport the oldest combination of head coaches projected for the 2025 season.
