Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid was reportedly weighing his football future ahead of his team's appearance in Super Bowl LVII.
During FOX's walkup coverage of the big game on Sunday, NFL insider Jay Glazer reported that he asked Reid whether he would consider retirement if the Chiefs were able to capture the Lombardi Trophy, which would be their second in four years.
Reid conceded that he's "not getting any younger," according to Glazer.
"I did ask Andy, 'If you win this game, will this be the final time we see you coach?" Glazer said.
"It wasn't a no, but he said, 'Look, I'm not getting any younger. I still have a young quarterback. I have a decision that I have to make after this game.'"
Reid turns 65 next month, and has been a head coach for 24 consecutive seasons dating back to 1999, his first year with the Eagles. After a largely successful 14-year stint in Philly, Reid moved on to Kansas City ahead of the 2013 campaign.
The knock on Reid for a long time was that he couldn't win the big one, but he finally got over that hump in 2019 with a win over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV.
With a Super Bowl title finally on his resume, Reid seemingly has little left to prove as an NFL head coach. His 247 career wins are fifth most in league history, and his .641 winning percentage is 11th among coaches with at least 10 years of experience. A second championship would all but cement his place in the discussion of all-time greats, if he's not already there.
Still, if Reid still has the bug to coach, there's little reason for him to leave, either. As Reid himself noted, Patrick Mahomes is in the prime of his career and widely regarded as the NFL's best quarterback, while the Chiefs are a relatively stable organization.
In any event, Glazer's reporting indicates that, if nothing else, Reid has at least given some degree of thought to his shelf life in the game. In fact, parsing Reid's comment, it sounds like he has "a decision to make" whether the Chiefs win or lose on Sunday.
Will Reid step aside after two and a half decades as a head coach? Stay tuned.
