Deion Sanders pens a heartfelt note for Andy Reid, who became the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013 and led the team to three Super Bowl appearances, winning two. This season, the Chiefs are heading to their fourth Super Bowl in five years.
In a recent game against the Baltimore Ravens, Patrick Mahomes had an outstanding first half, and the Kansas City defense sealed the victory with a 17-10 win. Despite struggling and losing six games, the Chiefs proved their resilience when it mattered most.
Even Deion Sanders, the college football coach of CU, expressed his admiration for Andy Reid, calling him "COACH-HIM":
“Andy Reid is the man! I love him as a man, a coach and a friend. He is "COACH-HIM"”, Sanders tweeted.
According to Chiefs Wire, Reid detailed the grind to reporters in Sunday's post-game conference, saying:
“It’s tough the back-to-back-to-back seasons, that’s a tough thing,” said Reid. “We played a lot of football games, and you’ve got to work through that. You [have] got to work through that mentally; that’s not an easy thing. So, I’m so happy for the guys and how they handled that.”
Andy Reid has dedicated more than 25 years to his profession, and his contract extension is expected to reach $60 million by 2026.
With quarterback Mahomes leading the way, this will be the second time that the KC Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers will compete in the Super Bowl.
