Breaking News:Ex-NFL HC Makes Bold Prediction on Andy Reid’s Eventual Retirement

Ahead of every Kansas City Chiefs playoff outing in recent years, head coach Andy Reid gets the same question. Are you considering retirement at the conclusion of the season?

And every time a reporter asks it, Reid gives a similar jokey response about how he doesn’t feel as old as he looks — or something of that nature. On March 7, the Chiefs HC was very candid about the eventual reason that he’ll end up calling it quits during an interview with Rich Eisen: His grandkids.

Former Atlanta Falcons two-time NFC South champion head coach Mike Smith had a different theory on when Reid will hang up the clipboard while speaking exclusively with Betway.com.
“I don’t know how much longer he’s going to go but I don’t anticipate him stepping out before [Patrick] Mahomes does,” Smith told to Betway Insider on April 12.

Predicting: “He’s going to stay right where he is as long as Mahomes is there. If Patrick decides he wants to retire early, then Andy may consider retiring but people don’t realize coach Reid is a grinder. He loves the preparation as much as the competition. He’s the mad scientist and we see it with all the Andy Reid signature plays which they run in pivotal moments.”

Finally, Smith asked himself — “Could [Reid] coach for 10 more years?” Answering: “I think he could.”
