Just over a decade ago, Andy Reid became the Chiefs head coach after 14 years with the Eagles.
And as Reid filled out his first Kansas City staff, he let go of a young, up-and-coming assistant: Nick Sirianni.
Sirianni had been with the Chiefs since 2009, starting as an offensive quality control coach. Then-head coach Romeo Crennel promoted him to receivers coach in 2012.
Now the two will meet on opposite sidelines as head coaches in Super Bowl LVII. While plenty of proverbial ink will surely be spent on Reid’s connection with the Eagles and Philadelphia over the next two weeks, Kansas City’s head coach was asked about what he remembers from deciding not to retain Sirianni back in January 2013.
