Andy Reid signals return in 2026 as Chiefs navigate Patrick Mahomes' injury, Travis Kelce's future: report

Andy Reid joins Colin Cowherd to discuss his coaching legacy. Reid opens up about what he wants to be remembered for, reflecting on his successful career with the Kansas City Chiefs and beyond.

Andy Reid has spent nearly all of his adult life in coaching. For more than the last quarter-century, Reid has patrolled the sideline as an NFL head coach, first guiding the Philadelphia Eagles and now leading the Kansas City Chiefs.

Reid cemented his legacy in Kansas City with three Super Bowl titles, but his age, Patrick Mahomes’ season-ending ACL injury and the uncertainty swirling around Travis Kelce’s future have fueled speculation that he could step away as soon as 2026.

Despite those factors — including the Chiefs missing the playoffs for the first time since 2014 — it appears Reid wants to keep coaching in 2026, the NFL Network reported Saturday.

"People who know Reid well say he has given no indications he'll walk away at age 67. For the first time in years, he'll finally have a full offseason to recharge. As one person close to him said, "Coach Reid ain't going out like this," the outlet reported.

While Reid's return to the sideline seems likely, the continuity of the rest of the coaching staff remains less certain. Matt Nagy, who is in his second stint as the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator, is in the last year of his contract.
