Professional Soccer Speak’s Mike Florio and ESPN’s Adam Schefter raised eyebrows once they instructed in January that Kansas Metropolis Chiefs head coach Andy Reid may journey off into the sundown of retirement this winter if his membership received Tremendous Bowl LVIII.
Sean McDonough of ESPN attended this previous Sunday’s AFC Championship Sport between the Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens and mentioned the Reid state of affairs throughout an look on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Present.”
“There was some speak about (the rumors), not so much,” McDonough defined, as shared by Robert O’Neill of Terrible Saying. “It definitely didn’t come throughout as imminent, however the place there’s smoke, there’s hearth, too. I belief Adam Schefter. It wouldn’t shock me if Andy is contemplating it; I imply, he’s undoubtedly towards the top of his profession. I kinda imagine in going out on prime, so if he had been to win and he was pondering it, I ponder if it would compel him to be extra prone to retire and exit with a Tremendous Bowl championship.”
Reid turns 66 years previous in March, has twice hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy since February 2020 and has already cemented his legacy as an all-time nice NFL head coach.
As for who may substitute him, former New England Patriots head coach Invoice Belichick appears possible to stay accessible via at the least Feb. 11 and presumably would like to information a championship-caliber roster contemplating he is 15 wins away from setting a brand new NFL document for profession victories earned by a head coach (common season and playoffs mixed).
“Whether or not Invoice winds up there or not, wow, that will be so much,” McDonough stated about Belichick probably taking Reid’s present job later this month. “I might guess that will not occur, however Schefty’s plugged in, that’s for certain. So, who is aware of.”
It is usually stated that no person “desires to be the man who replaces the man” who’s a franchise legend. Belichick is a six-time Tremendous Bowl champion head coach and, thus, possible would not really feel the stress that will include filling Reid’s footwear as would a younger offensive coordinator.
One factor that appears sure is that whispers linking Belichick with the Chiefs will seemingly hover over the franchise via Tremendous Bowl LVIII no matter what Reid says about his future earlier than the second Sunday of the month.
