Breaking news : Kansas city chief’s coach breaks down in Tears after being awarded the long serving and Best coach since 1965 – NFL history

Reid is also the only coach in NFL history to win 100 games with two different franchises, and his latest triumph ratcheted up the rhetoric about his standing.

“I believe he’s the best coach of all time,” Chiefs quarterback and three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes said. “I know he doesn’t have the trophies yet, and I have a lot of respect for some of those great coaches, but [it’s] the way he’s able to navigate every single team he has and continue to have success no matter where he’s at.”

Of course a quarterback is going to lobby for his coach, but the numbers make it clear that Reid is now in elite company. Only Don Shula (328), George Halas (318) and Belichick (302) have won more NFL games than Reid, who is up to 258. With the Chiefs averaging almost 12 wins per season since he arrived in 2013, the 65-year-old Reid could conceivably get to the top of the leader board if he wants to continue coaching through Mahomes’s prime.
