Chiefs coach Andy Reid is rising up the ranks of the most accomplished coaches in NFL history.

If the Chiefs beat the Bengals in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game, Reid will earn his 20th postseason win. That would tie him with former Cowboys coach Tom Landry for the second-most postseason wins by a coach in NFL history.

Only Bill Belichick, with 31 wins in the postseason, has more than 20 postseason victories.

Reid would also become the first NFL coach with 10 postseason wins for two different teams. Reid won 10 postseason games as head coach of the Eagles and has now won nine postseason games as head coach of the Chiefs.

Don Shula is currently tied with Reid for third place with 19 postseason wins. Joe Gibbs is next with 17 postseason wins.

  1. Andy Reid has done far more with far less than any coach on that list. McNabb couldn’t hold Brady’s clipboard, and thenPatriots had far more weapons (until very recently) than any playoff team Reid has coached. This guy deserves a ton more credit than BB. NOW, if he wins two more Super Bowls, which I think is a no brained, he will be behind BB as far as rings and maybe overall playoff wins, but in my mind he will be the better coach.

  2. Should make you sick if you’re an Eagle fan that this is still not your coach just because of a couple of down years while he tried to find another long-term QB. Instead, you still have Howie running your drafts, lol.

    Eagles fan here. No not sick, very happy for Andy. I, like many Eagles fans thought he got run out for the bad record, the year that his son passed while in training camp. I’m still sore with the owner move.
    But, Always root for Andy now. He is about as solid a person as you can be. He makes the players around him better team members, players and men. The same goes for his assistants. They have success because Andy is a great teacher. we miss him (yes), sick (no).
    JMHO.

  5. He’ll never be BB.

    1-2 in SBs and the 1 win came from Shanahan pulling 2 RBs off yhe field that were shredding his swiss cheese Ds at 6ypc each.

    Wake me when he can form a dynasty.

  6. He’s a great coach, but he ran his course in Philly. He had plenty of opportunities to win it all and couldn’t; it’s not an indictment on his coaching, it’s proof of how hard it is to win it all. It was time for him to go, and I’d say it worked out great for everyone- both teams have SB wins since he left.

    You think it’s worked out great for both teams? You won a Super Bowl, but the rest of the time has been a disaster while he has a team that’s hosting its fourth straight AFC championship game. It wasn’t time for him to go. Imagine Patriot fans saying it’s time for Bill Belichick to go in the post Brady era because he’s not going 13-3, lol.

  8. Without Brady, Belichick is a nobody. Brady covered his lack of coaching experience with his play. Belichick can’t compensate for it now.

    Since Reid left, the Eagles have been to the playoffs in ’13, ’17, ’18, ’19, and ’21. They won the SB in ’17 (i.e., not a “disaster” at all).

    Before Reid left, his record as their coach after the 2004 Super Bowl loss included 4 winning seasons, 2 .500 seasons, and 2 losing seasons. From ’05 to ’12, he was 66-61-1, barely above .500.

    When he left, after a 8-8 and 4-12 campaigns, and four years removed from his last NFCCG, nobody was complaining that he hadn’t gone 13-3 in awhile.

    So, yeah, I’d say it has worked out well for both sides.

    The Eagles have been well above average since he left. 78-67, multiple playoff berths, superbowl win. If the Eagles have been a disaster, what have the Lions, Jags, and Jets been? Has a word been invented to describe them?

  11. Really happy for him. He couldn’t get it done here, but it certainly wasn’t all his fault. I really root for him now.
