Leading up to Super Bowl LIV on Sunday, many have shared their desire to see Andy Reid win a title with the Kansas City Chiefs. During his press conference on Thursday, Reid called the support from players “humbling.”
Over the years, Reid has been considered as one of the best head coaches in the NFL. However, there is one glaring thing that is missing from his impressive resume—a Super Bowl ring.
Prior to becoming the head coach for the Chiefs, Reid spent 14 years with the Philadelphia Eagles. In those 14 seasons, the Eagles went 130-93-1 and made a Super Bowl appearance in 2004. Ultimately, Reid and Philadelphia would fall short of defeating the New England Patriots.
Since his lone appearance in the Super Bowl, some have questioned Reid's ability as a head coach. Despite having plenty of players expressing their support for him, Reid is focused on finally capturing the elusive Lombardi Trophy.

There's no telling what a Super Bowl victory could do for Reid's legacy in the NFL. In reality, it could be the final push for him to join the other notable coaches in the Pro Football Hall of Fame when it's all said and done.
It's important to realize the respect and gratitude that Reid garners from past and current players. But while he's receiving praise, Reid understands that the Chiefs are going to have to take care of business against the San Francisco 49ers before he can celebrate.
