NFL Head Coach Rankings: Where's Chiefs' Andy Reid?

The Kansas City Chiefs have been the gold standard for excellence since Patrick Mahomes was named the full-time starter back in 2018.

Making it to at least the AFC Championship game in each season since, along with winning three Super Bowls, Kansas City has dominated the NFL, and head coach Andy Reid has played a huge role in that.

The offensive wizard and the best quarterback in football are a dangerous duo, which is why most think that as long as those two are around, the Chiefs will be in Super Bowl contention.

But is Reid one of the best head coaches in football? CBS Sports' Cody Benjamin has ranked all 32 head coaches, and Reid, as he was last year, sits at the top of the mountain.

"Did his lauded offensive strategies overcome the Chiefs' utter lack of trench stability in their last Super Bowl effort? No way," Benjamin writes. "But "last" is the key word there; Kansas City has still advanced to five of the last six championship contests under his watch. That's ridiculous, no matter how you slice it. And every winter, with Mahomes by his side, he's registered as Mr. Inevitable, pushing the Chiefs the extra yard whenever they most need it."

Reid currently sits fourth all-time for wins (273), second behind Bill Belichick for playoff wins (28), and has a .651 winning percentage ranked 26th, but nine coaches are ahead of him who haven't coached 10 seasons in the NFL. Reid has coached for 26 years.

So, the stats are there, but it has been his time in Kansas City that has cemented his place as one of the greatest ever.

Since 2013, his first year as a Chief, Reid has never had a losing season, has won at least 10+ games in 11 of his 12 years, has three Super Bowl wins (in six years), and six Conference Championship wins.

So, despite the Super Bowl loss last season, it is easy to see why Reid deserves to sit at No. 1 on the head coach rankings list.
