Okay, so I was kicking back the other day, watching some sports news, you know how it is. And they showed Andy Reid, the coach for the Kansas City Chiefs. Big guy, great coach. It just popped into my head – wait, how many Super Bowls has he actually won? I felt like I knew, but sometimes you get those numbers mixed up, especially with coaches who’ve been around a long time.
So, naturally, I did what we all do. Picked up my tablet, opened up a search page. I typed in something simple like “andy reid super bowl wins count”. Pretty straightforward. Didn’t need anything fancy.
The results started popping up. Lots of articles, stats pages, the usual stuff. I saw the number ‘three’ mentioned quite a bit right away. Okay, three sounds familiar. But then I remembered, wasn’t he coaching the Philadelphia Eagles for ages? And didn’t they go to the Super Bowl once when he was there? Yeah, I definitely remember that.
So I had to double-check. Was it three wins total, or just three with the Chiefs? Needed to be sure I wasn’t just counting appearances. I scrolled through a couple of the top results, looking for the specifics. Found a few breakdowns of his career.
Yep, it confirmed my memory. He took the Eagles to Super Bowl XXXIX. That was way back against the Patriots. But they didn’t win that one. Close game, but no ring from that trip.
So the wins, all three of them, came later. After he moved to Kansas City. That made sense with their recent run. Let me list them out how I saw it:
- Super Bowl LIV: That was the Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers. They won that one.
- Super Bowl LVII: Chiefs played against Reid’s old team, the Philadelphia Eagles. Chiefs won again.
- Super Bowl LVIII: The most recent one, Chiefs versus the 49ers again. Went into overtime, but the Chiefs pulled it out.
So there it is. Three Super Bowl victories as a head coach for Andy Reid. All of them coaching the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s quite the achievement, especially getting them all in a relatively short span of time after such a long career. Took him a while to get that first head coaching ring, but he’s certainly made up for it in Kansas City. Just goes to show, persistence pays off, I guess. Pretty cool to see.
