"2. Andy Reid
Career Record: 207-128-1 (.618)
With The Chiefs Since: 2013
Last Year’s Ranking: 2
We didn’t need a Super Bowl to tell us Andy Reid’s place in the pantheon. He is the second best coach of his generation, and one of the greatest of all time. We got a Lombardi anyways, forever inoculating Reid against “he never won the big one” caveats while validating two decades of precise, innovative football. Reid has won at least nine games each of his seven seasons with the Chiefs, averaging 11. He has made the playoffs 15-of-21 years as a head coach, doing so with such disparate quarterbacks as Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick, Alex Smith and Patrick Mahomes. In a copycat league, Reid has always been a trendsetter. 62-year-old Reid’s résumé is now complete, but his tutelage of 24-year-old Mahomes means the Super Bowls could just be getting started."

Reid is arguably a top 10 coach. Crazy to think he's still only 62. He's still got some time left in this league. You wouldn't know Belichick is 6 years older than Reid.
I think Reid and Mahomes get at least 2 more Super Bowl wins and Reid becomes a top 5 coach of all time.

It really seems as if he's lovin' life right now.
If you've got a player like Mahomes, and he is flourishing in your system, you put off retirement for a few years.

True. This is probably the happiest he's ever been. And this 3 year stretch he has been giddy. It all started with Mahomes first start in week 17 of 2017 in Denver. Came out firing. Then sat for a quarter plus and then led a game winning FG drive. Reid could hardly contain himself in the presser. For as guarded as he was, he was as happy as he ever was in a postgame presser, until Miami this February.
Once he saw what he had in Mahomes, he has been a jovial Big Red who is lovin life as you said.

Someone in KC needs to open a BBQ joint called Big Red.
