His journey took off in 1999 with the Philadelphia Eagles, culminating in a Super Bowl appearance in the 2004 season.
The subsequent relocation to Kansas City in 2013 presented Reid with new challenges and opportunities.
Since then, Reid has coordinated the Chiefs to three Super Bowl appearances, with another on the horizon.
The journey to Reid’s much-anticipated fifth Super Bowl representation runs through the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game.
A win here will solidify Kansas City’s fourth Super Bowl under Reid’s orchestration and unite him with the coaching elite.
Surpassing the barrier of five Super Bowl trips as a head coach is no easy feat. Only three NFL coaches have scaled this mountain:
Bill Belichick, Don Shula, and Tom Landry. Belichick, with his nine trips, set the bar high with the New England Patriots.
Following him is Don Shula, who made six appearances, five with the Miami Dolphins and one with the Baltimore Colts.
Tom Landry rounds up this triumvirate, having taken the Dallas Cowboys to the Super Bowl five times.
Besides his impending entry into the ‘club of five,’ Reid’s illustrious career is filled with accomplishment after accomplishment.
His unique play-calling expertise and adept team management skills have made him one of the game’s most respected figures.
His remarkable contributions have already earned him a guaranteed spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame when he chooses to hang up his whistle.
