Chiefs' Andy Reid Not Thinking About Retirement: 'I Like Doing What I'm Doing'

While much of the focus regarding a notable member of the Kansas City Chiefs potentially retiring this offseason is on Travis Kelce, the reigning AFC champions at least don't have to worry about their head coach walking away any time soon.

"I like doing what I'm doing, and I like it right now. So I'm happy," Andy Reid said Tuesday during an interview with Judy Battista of NFL.com (6:10 mark).

Battista specifically asked Reid if he plans on remaining the head coach throughout Patrick Mahomes' realistic championship window. The head coach joked that doing so might mean coaching with a cane since Mahomes is just 29 years old and could play until he's 40.

But Reid also didn't seem to be in a hurry to head into retirement in the near future.

The 66-year-old has enjoyed an incredible amount of success in his 12 seasons with the Chiefs, including three Lombardi Trophies and five Super Bowl appearances. He has a 143-53 overall record with the team and has helped establish Kansas City as the gold standard of the recent NFL.

The tie-in with Mahomes is notable because Reid's Chiefs went from an annual playoff contender to an annual championship contender when No. 15 took over under center.

Since Mahomes became the full-time starter in 2018, Kansas City has never failed to make it to at least the AFC Championship Game in each of his seven years. It also has those five Super Bowl appearances and three Lombardi Trophies.

As long as Mahomes is playing quarterback, the team figures to be on the short list of realistic title contenders.

And Reid surely doesn't want to walk away from that.
