Andy Reid, the esteemed head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, has a remarkable opportunity to cement his legacy as the NFL’s most successful coach of all time. With his recent contract extension and the Chiefs’ consistent dominance under his leadership, Reid is well-positioned to break multiple coaching win records.
In the regular season, Reid has amassed 258 wins over his illustrious career, trailing only Don Shula’s all-time record of 328. The Chiefs’ consistent 12.5 wins per season under Mahomes’ guidance suggest that Reid could surpass Shula’s mark by the 2029 season.
Reid’s postseason success is equally impressive, with 26 career playoff victories. He trails Bill Belichick’s record of 31 playoff wins by just five, indicating a strong likelihood that Reid will tie Belichick in the 2025 season and break his record the following year.
Combining regular season and postseason wins, Reid’s current total of 284 is just 63 shy of Shula’s combined record of 347. At his current pace, Reid is projected to break Shula’s combined wins record during the 2028 season.
While Belichick, with his 302 regular-season wins, could potentially challenge these records, his age (72) and the likelihood of coaching a rebuilding team diminish his chances compared to Reid’s more favorable circumstances. By the time Reid concludes his newly signed contract, he is highly likely to become the most victorious coach in NFL history, etching his name indelibly into the annals of the sport.
