A less patient organization might have given up on Andy Reid

Andy Reid of the Kansas City Chiefs will enter Super Bowl week widely renowned as the NFL’s best current head coach. Should the two-time defending champion Chiefs complete the first-ever “threepeat” at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans next weekend, he will have a case to be considered the best coach in league history.

Now in his 12th season on the Kansas City sidelines, this will be Reid’s fifth Super Bowl appearance in the last six seasons. However, if the Chiefs were a less patient organization, the unparalleled success might not have happened.

The Chiefs hired Reid in 2013, almost immediately after he was fired from the Philadelphia Eagles after 14 seasons.
