Super Bowl LIX is set. The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to claim their second Lombardi Trophy. But standing in their way? A man who might love cheeseburgers more than football—but somehow happens to be a mastermind at both. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Andy Reid is once again the Eagles’ worst nightmare.
The architect of Kansas City’s dynasty is Reid. When people think of the Kansas City Chiefs, they think of Patrick Mahomes slinging no-look passes, Travis Kelce turning linebackers into spinning tops, and Chris Jones terrorizing quarterbacks. But let’s not forget the man behind the madness—Big Red himself, Andy Reid.
Reid took over a struggling Chiefs team in 2013 and transformed them into a powerhouse. He didn’t just win games—he built a culture. In his 12 seasons with the Chiefs, he has never had a losing season. That’s right, not even once. And now, with back-to-back Super Bowl wins under his belt, he’s looking for an unprecedented three-peat.
The scariest part? He’s only getting better.
The Man Who Turns QBs Into Superstars
Before Mahomes, there was Donovan McNabb. Before McNabb, there was Brett Favre. And guess who helped mold both into stars? You guessed it—Andy Reid.
Reid has an almost magical ability to develop quarterbacks. He saw something in Mahomes that 31 other teams didn’t fully appreciate. The Chiefs jumped up to draft him in 2017, and the rest is history. Under Reid’s watch, Mahomes has already won two Super Bowls, two MVPs, and has solidified himself as the NFL’s biggest superstar.
But Reid’s about building entire teams.
The Mad Scientist of Play Calling, Reid’s playbook might as well be a collection of wizard spells. Need proof? Just look at the Super Bowl trick plays he’s pulled out of his bag in recent years. From Corn Dog to Rose Bowl Right, Reid’s creativity leaves defenses spinning.
The Eagles have an elite defense, but here’s the problem: Reid has seen it all. Blitz him? He’ll have Mahomes flick the ball to Kelce for 20 yards. Play zone? He’ll send someone in motion 16 different ways until your defense forgets where it’s supposed to be.
And if you think he’s out of ideas, just remember—this is the guy who probably dreams of new plays in between bites of his post-game cheeseburger.
Why the Eagles should be worried with Andy Reid
Let’s be honest, the Eagles are a fantastic team. Jalen Hurts is a star, their defense is elite, and their offensive line is one of the best in the league. But they’ve got one major problem: Andy Reid knows them better than they know themselves.
Reid coached the Eagles for 14 seasons. He brought them to a Super Bowl, five NFC Championship games, and turned the franchise into a consistent winner. If anyone knows how Philadelphia thinks, it’s him.
And let’s not forget—he already beat them in a Super Bowl two years ago.
In verdict, just like Chris Broussard of ‘First Things First said, “Andy Reid … I am really starting to lean toward him as the best coach ever.”

So, Big Red Strikes again?
The Eagles are coming into this game determined to win. But so is Andy Reid. And if history has taught us anything, it’s this: never bet against a man with a cheeseburger in one hand and a laminated play sheet in the other.
Come February 9th, expect Andy Reid to once again remind Philly why letting him go was the worst breakup in franchise history.
