Shula 328 Belichick 302 Reid 273 wins. Will Reid catch Shula?

[john4psu]

Don Shula has the most wins all-time by an NFL coach with 328, followed by George Halas with 318, Bill Belichick with 302 and Andy Reid with 273.

Will Reid keep coaching to get the record? 55 to tie, 56 to break the record. Five seasons to go?

Your thoughts?

Assuming the Chiefs with Mahomes are good for at least 12 wins a year then yes if Reid stays around for 5 years he will break the record.

He's gonna have to cut back on the 'nuggies' and fries tho

Of the 4 HCs you listed Shula would be my last choice. He had top QBs for decades but could only win his two titles by cheating.

Personally I care more about Vrabes catching Shula !! Let’s go Pats !!

I hate to say it but probably not. Reid looks like he ages a decade each year. I hope I'm wrong. He's not the only mastermind on the team though. I wouldn't be opposed to Spags replacing him as HC if need be. Spags failed as a HC in the past but he never had a Mahomes. Mahomes is not reliant on Reids playcalling. He basically won his first SB by calling the Jet Chip Wasp play. That was all Mahomes. He's at that point where he can pretty much run an offence all on his own like all the other greats.

In a race? I dunno, Reid is fat, old and slow don't think he runs well.
Oth, Shula's dead so he can't run at all.
So I guess Andy's got a fighting chance

Or some guys are meant to be DC instead of a head coach. Vic Fangio is an example of one and I think Spags is another.

Neither of them had great QBs. Belichick could have shared the same fate if he didn't have Brady. All I'm saying is if and when Reid goes, I wouldn't mind seeing Spags get a 2nd chance but this time with a HOF QB.

Reid is under contract until 2029 so he has a chance..
Not confident with all that weight, stress and amount of work he will see the end of his contract though..

He might get a second chance but tbh Spags team was not just a QB away in St Louis. They were terrible on both sides of the ball. Some guys are excellent at the X's and O's of football but when it comes to coaching there's a lot more to it than that. Belichick learned that lesson in Cleveland.

My original thought was that Reid could catch Shula* but then I realized I made an error with my math. Nobody's catching Shula*, just like nobody's catching Brady.

I haven't seen KC all that much but the few times I have Mahomes hasn't looked so hot. He's no Tom Brady when it comes to avoiding hits and I think he's wearing down.

Spags has been very impressive as a DC. If I'm KC I wouldn't move him from there if I could help it.

A 17 game schedule and Mahomes still in his prime isn't going to hurt his chances. He can do it. The question is does he want to coach for 5 or 6 more years.
