The Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots are two franchises with multiple Super Bowl wins, a rarity in the National Football League. The team's greatest coaches lists include Bill Belichick and Andy Reid at or near the top, since both have had incredible success.
Reid has relished his time in the spotlight, taking time out recently to share a message of encouragement with running back Melvin Gordon.
Belichick is the GOAT (Greatest of All-Time) coach to many, but not Michael Vick, the Falcons' former superstar quarterback.
The Chiefs' boss Reid has won two Super Bowls with quarterback Patrick Mahomes at the helm. Belichick meanwhile has won six Super Bowl titles with Tom Brady quarterbacking his franchise, sparking debates on the coaches' legacies.
Recently, sports talk show host Colin Cowherd shared a theory on the Reid vs. Belichick GOAT debate that has fans talking. The question according to Cowherd is whether Reid is underrated considering he only recently was given an all-time great, elite level quarterback in Mahomes.
Reid has had talented signal callers including Donovan McNabb. Mahomes is in a class by himself when it comes to recent young quarterback talents, however.

“Andy had to wait until year 19. Belichick got Brady in year six.”
