I love the kid. He’s got a big personality and always smiling and was a great player. Not too many people could make somebody miss like he could, he had this phenomenal career, arguably a Hall of Fame career. It’s good that they’re doing that for him there. It’s good that he chose to go back to Philadelphia because that’s really where it all started for him and his foundation was built.

Andy Reid

Andrew Walter Reid (born March 19, 1958) is an American football coach who is the head coach for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). Reid was previously the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, a position he held from 1999 to 2012. From 2001 to 2012, he was also the Eagles' executive vice president of football operations, effectively making him the team's general manager. He began his professional coaching career as an offensive assistant for the Green Bay Packers from 1992 to 1998, with whom he won a Super Bowl title in Super Bowl XXXI. Reid's tenure in Green Bay helped him secure his first head-coaching position with the Eagles, who became perennial postseason contenders under his leadership. He led the Eagles to nine playoff runs, six division titles, five NFC Championship Games (including four consecutive appearances from 2001 to 2004), and one Super Bowl appearance. Despite his success, Reid was unable to lead the Eagles to victory in the Super Bowl, and he left the team in 2012 following a decline in fortunes. Shortly after his departure from Philadelphia, Reid was hired as the head coach of the Chiefs in 2013 and helped revitalize the struggling franchise, including ending the Chiefs eight-game playoff losing streak that had stood since 1993. In his eight seasons with Kansas City, he has led the Chiefs to seven postseason appearances, five division titles, three AFC Championship Games, and one Super Bowl title in Super Bowl LIV, the franchise's first in 50 years and his first as a head coach.
