In the week leading up to Super Bowl LVIII, the media was busy reporting on the future of Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid. Ahead of Super Bowl XV, Reid opened the door to his retirement in a pregame interview with Jay Glazer. fox sports. This year, however, Reed has been more emphatic about his future, denying reports that he could ride off into the sunset if the Chiefs win on Sunday night.
With Super Bowl XV just hours away, the news comes that the longtime manager is far more likely to sign an extension rather than retire.
According to Jonathan Jones, CBS Sports, Reed has two years left on his current contract with Kansas City. But if the Chiefs win tonight, he will have three Lombardi Trophies on his resume, compared to 31 other active NFL coaches who have six combined.
nevertheless, Jones reports, Reed’s annual salary is “nearly $12 million,” ranking him 10th among active coaches. And with the addition of Sean Payton and Jim Harbaugh to the AFC West over the past two years, Reid has now won eight straight championships and is the third-highest paid coach in the division.
One source said, “He’s not retiring.” “He’s not being paid what he’s supposed to be paid. It’s a problem with the whole organization. Pay is not what it should be all the way from top to bottom.”
So if you’re a fan of an AFC team that isn’t the Chiefs, you’ll be stuck with Reid and Patrick Mahomes for at least a few more years, regardless of how Super Bowl V unfolds.
