How can Reid only be 62 years old? That had to be the worst looking body on a 62 year old coach on the planet?
that dude needs to hit the gym and lay off the bbq!

While you may have a valid point, everything you just wrote is easier said than done. This happens every year.... a team wins the Super and looks damn good doing so, and people just assume they are going to be perennial contenders for years. But fact is you just don't see terribly many multiple-time champions over the past 20 years from teams not named "New England."Some people believe that no matter what happens going forward here in NE post-Brady, BB’s status as best HC of modern times is secure.
If the near future unfolds in a not implausible way, there is an oft-ridiculed unlikely competitor on the horizon who could challenge that perception.
BB is 68 years old, has 273 regular season wins, 31 postseason wins, 6 titles, with unprecedented success in NE after limited success in Cleveland. The success of his coaching tree is mixed. We are hopeful about the future in NE but there is roster uncertainty.
Andy Reid is 62 years old with 207 regular season wins, 15 postseason wins, 1 title, and successfully rescued 2 separate franchises (Philly & KC). His coaching tree is good (John Harbaugh, Doug Peterson). He has the best QB in the league who is only 24 years old.
If NE falters in the next few years without Brady, while Reid coaches 6+ more years, averages 11 wins per year and builds a SB winning dynasty in KC with Mahomes, given Reid’s great success in two different locations (Philadelphia and KC) with multiple QBs and a superior coaching tree, a weak argument could be made in his favor vs BB; and people would love to make that argument because Reid is a very affable guy.
This is an unlikely but not impossible scenario.
This adds another layer of interest to the next few years here in NE, beyond the BB/Brady rivalry.
I know that was fnord without even looking. Good one though.You guys need to stop kink shaming Reid for living his life in the open as his fursona, Willy the Walrus.
The best coach after Belichick right now is John Harbaugh, not Andy Reid. Reid lucked into a QB with GOAT potential. Harbaugh won the Super Bowl with Joe Flacco and managed to coach Lamar Jackson into league MVP.
In addition, Eric DeCosta is the best GM in the league right now. The Ravens are by far the most competent organization in all of football right now, with the best GM and the second-best coach.
Reid traded up during the 1st round of the draft in order to select Mahomies...hardly what I would call lucking into him...The best coach after Belichick right now is John Harbaugh, not Andy Reid. Reid lucked into a QB with GOAT potential...
Andy Reid is a great coach. Brilliant offensive strategist. The Chiefs were lucky last year, though, that the Super Bowl officials decided to let every fall go because they always suffer from lack of discipline and made some critical gaffes that the zebras missed.
Anyway, Belichick got Brady for 20 years. Reid got mostly McNabb and Smith. That’s the biggest different between the two coaches. I think BB is better overall but not by the gap that many seem to think.

He'd still have two fewer rings than Bill.So basically what you are saying is:
If Andy Reid wins a SB every other year for the next 10 years, a feat not even matched by TB/BB, he could unseat BB as the greatest coach of all time.
The same could be said of every coach in football.
