Andy Reid could be coaching for the last time today at Super Bowl LVII.

Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports that he spoke to Reid, asked if this could be his last game, and Reid didn’t say no.

“I’m not getting any younger. I still have a young quarterback. I have a decision I have to make after this game,” Reid told Glazer.

Reid said he’s trying to savor the experience more than he has in the previous Super Bowls he coached. Reid will turn 65 next month, and he knows he’s closer to the end of his career than the beginning.

  7. He should be a 1st ballot HOF’er no matter what happens tonight and no matter if he retires after tonight or not.

    I hope he wins tonight; that Philly coach is so easy to root against.

  8. Having a quarterback like Mahomes is a dream for any NFL head coach. No way that Reid retires as long as Mahomes is there and Reid can still get around on two legs.

  10. While I find it hard to believe he would retire considering his situation, he has been doing this for a very long time. He’s a HOF’er. He’s won a superbowl. He’s been to 4. I lost count on conference title games. He has very little left to prove, and if he leaves, he’ll leave as a top 5 coach in history.

  11. I think Spags will be promoted if it’s a football decision (he’s been HC twice already) but it would be so Reid like to go with EB as his successor.

  12. If he wins, I could see him walking away. He’s the greatest offensive play caller maybe of all time. He’d have two Super Bowls and would have gone to the championship game in both conferences half of his years being an HC. Most people don’t want to drop dead at work. Although I don’t think it’s going to happen, beating his old team would be the icing on the cake and a full circle moment.

  15. ” He has very little left to prove, and if he leaves, he’ll leave as a top 5 coach in history.”

    Tell that to Belichick, Landry, Lombardi, Shula and Brown. Reid isn’t even top 10 all time. If Reid wins this Super Bowl, he may crack into the top 10.

  16. Don’t know why people are so down on Bienemy and don’t give me that he doesn’t call the plays crap. You can list a litany of recently hired coaches that didn’t call the plays. And the defensive coaches hired didn’t call the plays on offense either.

  19. His main decision is whether he should eat all the cookies or be a dad to his sons…by the looks of both, he chose the cookies.

  20. Well it is Glazer and fox so no smart money will be to him retiring. If true however, no worries Chiefs Kingdom, Marvelous Matt Nagy will be ready to take over. ‘The most well prepared assistant I’ve ever had’ according to Andy.

  21. Tell that to Belichick, Landry, Lombardi, Shula and Brown. Reid isn’t even top 10 all time. If Reid wins this Super Bowl, he may crack into the top 10.

    Paul Brown? Really? Dennis Green has more wins than Lombardi, regardless of what trophy is named after him. I can’t argue the other three, other than Reid has been wildly successful in two different franchises, something BB and Landry can’t say.

  22. Bienemy is next in line as he’s been in Mahomes ear for years. Chiefs want to keep that mojo going.

  23. Andy isn’t the healthiest guy around. Behind the scenes his wife might be trying to get him to slow down and why not? He’s done it all as far as being a coach is concerned, he doesn’t owe anyone anything.

  24. This is a surprise. I think it’s just Reid providing banter for Glazer more than anything. Either way, Reid is directly responsible for the golden age of Chiefs football. No matter what he decides we’re all grateful beyond words to him

  26. To all the people making fun of him due to his weight, that’s really messed up. The man is a hall of fame coach who has forever changed the game of football, through his own legacy of coaching, to the coaches he helped meld and create along the way. To the folks who never got to work with him but watched the film and their jaws drop. He has done far more than any of you will do in your lives. So sure keep making fun of his weight.

  27. I hope when he does retire he comes back to Philadelphia for a front office job with the Eagles.

  28. Tell that to Belichick, Landry, Lombardi, Shula and Brown. Reid isn’t even top 10 all time. If Reid wins this Super Bowl, he may crack into the top 10.

    Jealousy isn’t a good look. Neither is silver and black

  29. It’s an odd response from Reid. He’s said several times this year, he doesn’t see himself retiring anytime soon.

  30. he’ll leave as a top 5 coach in history.

    ——-

    He’s a great coach, no doubt – but top 5 – no

    In no particular order

    Lombardi
    Brown
    Halas
    Shula
    Landry
    Noll
    Parcells
    Gibbs
    Walsh
    Belichick

    I know I missed a few.

  31. Reid seems like a good person but as a father he should focus on getting his son better and work together with him by going out to high schools throughout the country and talking to kids about how they can be responsible and help prevent the unnecessary loss of lives and injuries caused by drunk driving.
