On Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs announced that longtime head coach Andy Reid won the 101 Awards’ AFC Coach of the Year.
The 101 Awards were created in 1969 by Chiefs’ founder and American football visionary Lamar Hunt to honor the best players and coaches from the AFC and NFC, including Coach of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, and Defensive Player of the Year.
Reid won the award last year and has now been given his fifth Coach of the Year honor for his exceptional leadership in Kansas City.
The Chiefs lauded Reid for his latest accomplishment in a post on Twitter:
Led us to our best record ever… so far. Well deserved, Coach! Congratulations

Though Reid hasn’t won the coveted Associated Press Coach of the Year award since 2002, his role in making Kansas City the epicenter of the football world can’t be overstated.
Stay tuned to see if Reid can lead the Chiefs to their third-consecutive Super Bowl appearance with a win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
