As Andy Reid nears the end of his 13th season as head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, and his 27th consecutive season as an NFL head coach, he made it clear Monday that he does not want a disappointing 2025 season to be his last.
"I think I'm coming back, right," Reid told reporters Monday. "If they'll have me back, I'll come back. You never know in this business, that's a tough one. But I plan on it, yeah."
Reid, 67, still has four more seasons on a Chiefs contract that pays him a reported $20 million
per year through 2029.
The Chiefs (6-10) will see their streak of 10 straight playoff appearances and seven straight years of at least making the AFC championship game end this season. After losing Super Bowl XXXIX as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles -- a position he held from 1999-2012 -- Reid has won three Super Bowls with Kansas City in 2019, 2022 and 2023.
Kansas City enters this weekend's season finale vs. Las Vegas (2-14) on a five-game losing streak and with third-string quarterback Chris Oladokun leading the offense after Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew each sustained torn ACLs in consecutive weeks.
The Chiefs' roster could be headed toward significant changes in 2026. Star tight end Travis Kelce is rumored to be contemplating retirement, while it remains to be seen when Mahomes will return from his serious knee injury.
