MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The procession of love for the old coach began the instant the final pass of Super Bowl LIV harmlessly fell to the Hard Rock Stadium turf.
It was Sunday at 10:11 p.m., and while the sun had long descended, the celebration of the old coach was just beginning.
His son came over first, his left arm wrapped tightly around the coach’s thick neck that was still freshly drenched in orange Gatorade. His head athletic trainer and longtime right-hand man soon joined him, followed by his longtime friend and defensive coordinator.
All took turns embracing Andy Reid, letting him know how much they love and appreciate him.
