NFL Insider Reveals Surprising New Insights Regarding the Possibility of Andy Reid's Retirement
Reports of Andy Reid's potential retirement have circulated for several years, but according to an NFL insider, this time it could be a real possibility.
Speaking on "The Zach Gelb Show" on CBS, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk revealed that the Kansas City Chiefs are preparing for the chance that their legendary head coach may retire at the end of this year (as reported by Jack Bezants of the Daily Mail):
"The one I'm watching is, when the Chiefs season ends, is Andy Reid going to retire? He has said he is not thinking about it, and the smart aleck would say there is nothing to think about if he has said he is not going to do it. But I think there is a reason to believe the Chiefs have the possibility on their radar screen. We will find out when the season ends.
Although I could say at some level, the closer they get to the Super Bowl, if guys start thinking maybe Andy Reid could walk away, it gives them the little kick to let him walk out with a trophy. But we will see.
Ever since I caught wind of the possibility that the Chiefs are bracing for the possibility of Reid leaving � not saying he will, but I think there is a reason to believe the Chiefs have it on the radar screen � then (Patrick) Mahomes, there is only one, and the Chiefs have him."
At this stage of his career, Reid has nothing left to prove. He secured his first Super Bowl victory as a head coach four years ago and added a second championship ring last year. He will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. During Patrick Mahomes' first five seasons as the Chiefs' starting quarterback, the team reached five consecutive AFC Championship Games, winning three AFC titles and two Super Bowls.
Under Reid's leadership, Kansas City has not had a losing season, making the postseason every year since 2014. If Reid indeed decides to retire after this season, the Chiefs will face the daunting task of replacing one of the era's best coaches, second only to Bill Belichick.
