Pro Football Focus recently ranked Kansas City Chiefs’ Andy Reid as the NFL’s top returning head coach going into 2025. After an impressive 15-2 regular season record and a return to the Super Bowl for a third consecutive season, Reid is a no-brainer to lead this list.
“Like Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, and the New England Patriots teams before them, the Kansas City Chiefs are the masters of situational football,” wrote Dalton Wasserman. “The Chiefs played in 12 one-score games last season, including the playoffs, and won all of them. They found a way to reach the Super Bowl for the third straight season because Andy Reid has his entire team prepared for any situation.”

If the Chiefs can sustain their dominance, the future Pro Football Hall of Famer will continue his ascent in the NFL’s record books. Reid no longer holds the title of the league’s oldest head coach, following the Las Vegas Raiders’ hiring of Pete Carroll, who has reclaimed that designation.
Reid has 273 career victories, trailing only Belichick’s 302, George Halas’ 318, and Don Shula’s 328. The Chiefs won 15 games in 2024, and it would take a few years to respectfully begin the conversation of passing Shula.
