As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance against the Philadelphia Eagles, head coach Andy Reid has firmly stated his intention to continue coaching beyond this season. In remarks to reporters on Tuesday, Reid confirmed that he plans to return as head coach of the Chiefs in 2025. His motivation to remain in the role is driven not by the pursuit of win records but by his enjoyment of teaching the game.

The 2025 season will mark Reid's 13th year with the Kansas City franchise. Under his leadership, the team has achieved notable success, reaching the Super Bowl five times in the past six years. A victory against Philadelphia this Sunday would mark a historic achievement, giving the Chiefs the first three-peat in modern NFL history. These comments follow a statement from Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, who expressed confidence during the Super Bowl Opening Night on Monday that the 66-year-old Reid would return to coach next season.

Hunt remarked on the rumors of Reid's retirement, noting that he was surprised to hear such speculation given Reid's evident enjoyment and revitalization from the team's success. Hunt emphasized the synergy between Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, suggesting that their partnership has been integral to the team's accomplishments. Reid currently ranks fourth all-time in career wins, with a total of 273 victories. He signed a contract extension last April that would keep him in Kansas City until at least the 2029 season, barring an early retirement. As the NFL landscape looks on, it seems Reid remains motivated to continue leading his team.
