In September 2013, Andy Reid brought the Kansas City Chiefs to Philadelphia for the third game of the second act of his coaching career. That was an emotionally charged meeting, billed as Reid’s return to the place he coached for 14 years.
Time has a way of healing wounds, and both sides are in different places. Reid has had a better post-firing life than his former employers, who have not won a playoff game since Reid departed and are now on their second coach – one that came with Reid’s recommendation. Meanwhile, Reid has had four winning seasons in Kansas City, three playoff appearances, and is just a week removed from a dominating win over the defending Super Bowl champions.
