Andy Reid, American football player and coach
Andrew Walter Reid (born March 19, 1958) is an American football coach who is the head coach for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). Reid was previously the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, a position he held from 1999 to 2012. From 2001 to 2012, he was also the Eagles' executive vice president of football operations, making him the team's general manager. He is the only NFL coach to win 100 games and appear in four consecutive conference championships with two different franchises.Reid began his professional coaching career as an offensive assistant for the Green Bay Packers from 1992 to 1998, with whom he won a Super Bowl title in Super Bowl XXXI. His tenure in Green Bay helped him secure his first head coaching position with the Eagles in 1999, who became perennial postseason contenders under his leadership. He led the Eagles to nine playoff runs, six division titles, five NFC Championship Games (including four consecutive from 2001 to 2004), and an appearance in Super Bowl XXXIX. Despite his success, Reid was unable to lead the Eagles to victory in the Super Bowl, and he departed after the 2012 season amid a team decline.
Hired as the head coach of the Chiefs in 2013, Reid helped revitalize the struggling franchise, including ending its eight-game playoff losing streak that had stood since 1993. In his nine seasons with Kansas City, he has led the Chiefs to eight postseason appearances, six division titles, four AFC Championship Games, two Super Bowl appearances, and one Super Bowl title in Super Bowl LIV, the franchise's first in 50 years and his first as a head coach.
