Five reasons to still believe in the Kansas City Chiefs

ANDY REID

For those who want to grumble on and on about Andy Reid right now, you might just want to skip this part. Because while you’re busy muttering about your issues with Reid, I’m going to focus on the fact that the Chiefs have a Hall of Fame coach at the helm who has been through all of this before and isn’t going to make reactive moves or decisions based on a bad game or two.

The reality is that nearly 30 NFL teams would likely love to switch positions with the Chiefs in terms of their leadership and have Andy Reid as their head coach. His offensive creativity is what draws all the acclaim, but his coaching tree has proven that he’s an incredible teacher in all aspects of the game. His unflappable personality and deep well of experience are also exactly the sort of characteristics you want in a place of leadership on a team going through the doldrums of consecutive losses.

If you think Andy Reid doesn’t know that certain plays called (damn!) look ridiculous in retrospect, then you’re missing the press conferences wherein he readily admits that he’s responsible for a large part of these losses in Week 5 and 6. Even if Andy Reid was solely to blame, however, there’s no other head coach I’d rather have to help turn things around than this same man.
