At 299 victories, Bill Belichick sits 29 back of Don Shula’s all-time wins record for NFL head coaches. But the way things stand, Belichick isn’t the biggest threat to plant roots atop the all-time wins list. Andy Reid is.
Since Patrick Mahomes became the starter in Kansas City, the Chiefs have averaged 12.8 wins a season. At that rate, Reid would catch Shula early in the 2029 season.Let’s tackle the Belichick question first. Kraft could fire him and Belichick could land with another team looking for a culture shift, but that’s likely just moving the rebuild from New England to somewhere else. We’re still probably talking three to four years.Reid, meanwhile, is in position to rack up 10-plus-win season after 10-plus-win season as long as Mahomes is healthy. From there, it becomes a race against time.
By then Reid could also be running toward a fourth or fifth Super Bowl, too, which would spark a greater coach debate. A while back, before he'd won a Super Bowl, I called Reid the second-best coach of this generation, behind only Belichick. I’m not so sure Reid isn’t No. 1 now, having won two Super Bowls and replicating in Kansas City the sustained success that he had in Philadelphia.
