Andy Reid confirms he will again coach Kansas City Chiefs in 2025

Andy Reid said Tuesday he will return as Kansas City Chiefs head coach for the 2025 NFL season.

“Yes, I’ll be back,” Reid said.

Reid, who turns 67 next month, is five days away from coaching in his eighth Super Bowl and sixth as a head coach. Between his current tenure in Kansas City and before that with the Philadelphia Eagles, Reid has been a head coach for the last 26 seasons. Reid will make it 27 next season, as he’s showing zero signs of slowing down.

“I enjoy being around the guys,” Reid said ahead of Super Bowl LIX against the Philadelphia Eagles, per Adam Teicher of ESPN. “I enjoy the football games. You can’t put in the hours that we do and not enjoy it. So, I really love the game.”

Shortly after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl last year, Reid signed a contract extension, keeping him under contract through the 2029 season. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Reid became the highest-paid coach in the NFL.

Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said Monday he didn’t think Reid was close to the end of his coaching career.

“He’s always said that he’ll know when the time is right and I’m sure he’ll share it with me before he shares it with everyone else,” Hunt said. “At least I hope so, but I don’t sense that he’s anywhere close to being done.”

Andy Reid chasing NFL history

Depending on how long Reid continues to wear the headset on the sideline, he should have a shot to break Don Shula‘s all-time record for most regular season wins. Reid is fourth all-time in regular season wins among head coaches at 273, 55 short of Shula. With 28 postseason victories, Reid is three shy of tying Bill Belichick for the NFL record.

As long as Patrick Mahomes is quarterbacking in Kansas City, Reid will continue to add to his tally. This Sunday, Reid and the Chiefs can become the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls.

“I don’t plan on mentioning it, but I’m also not naive enough to know that they haven’t heard it,” Reid told The Rich Eisen Show last week. “I mean, I’ve heard it a ton up to this point, and I’m sure I’ll hear more of it this next week, once we get down to New Orleans. So, we all know that’s out there, but what matters is how you take care of business.”
