In recent years, Super Bowl week had produced speculation and rumors along these lines: “This may be Andy Reid’s final game.”
There’s no Super Bowl for the Chiefs this season as they prepare for their Week 18 finale at the Las Vegas Raiders. On Monday, Reid got ahead of any rumors about his future as the head coach in Kansas City.
Asked if he could imagine a scenario in which he’s not the coach of the Chiefs next season, Reid said:
“Uh, no. I think I’m coming back, right? If they’ll have me back.
“You never know in this business, so that’s a tough one. But, yeah, I plan on it.”
It’s been a tough season for Reid and the Chiefs, who own a 6-10 record with one game remaining. They’ll finish with the first losing mark since Reid took over here in the 2013 season. This, after the Chiefs appeared in five of the previous six Super Bowls, the last seven AFC Championship Games and made the playoffs for 10 straight years.
Reid, who will turn 68 in March, ranks fourth in career NFL coaching victories, including playoffs, with 307. He’s behind only Don Shula (347), Bill Belichick (333) and George Halas (324).
Reid’s 28 playoff victories — 18 in Kansas City, 10 with the Philadelphia Eagles — rank second to Belichick’s 31.
