Andy Reid told to step down as Kansas City Chiefs coach after Super Bowl failure
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has "run out of ideas" and should step aside, according to FOX Sports radio host Rob Parker, who has slammed their Super Bowl LIX performance.
The Chiefs were steamrolled 40-22 by the Philadelphia Eagles, and while the score may not appear too devastating, it was 40-6 in the fourth quarter before quarterback Patrick Mahomes finally found a response. Reid has won three Super Bowl championships as Chiefs head coach, but Parker believes that the 66-year-old is no longer at the peak of his powers.

Yes, it was only a pundit here. But the guy brings up a number of factual points to make his case.
Andy will of course be back. However what happens if the Chiefs struggle next season? Once a town gets a taste of winning, they develop a low tolerance for losing. I think if Andy doesn't produce next season, his NFL coaching career might be over.
Well it depends, Belichick was run out of town because he straight up didn't do a thing to help Brady and hung him out to dry then left himself a scrap heap of junk thinking his own coaching would produce a solid team.
Andy Reed can draft talent and doesn't have that god complex
Any radio host or commentator saying that Reid should step down is moronic, they just lost in the Super Bowl lol
They will have holes to fill but I'm confident Reid will keep the Chiefs playoff competitive for a while
I think FOX radio show host Rob Parker should step down. 😇
Ever ponder the question whether the Sports World would be better served with less Pundits?
Seems there is an abundant supply of self proclaimed experts here… there… and everywhere.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Rob Parker was the same idiot that came out after Brady lost to the Ravens in the Wild Card round in 2010 predicting that Tom's time as an elite QB were behind him. Parker then spent year after year dying on that hot take hill, as did Max Kellerman, as Tom Brady led NE to 5 more SB appearances, winning 3 of them. If there was ever one guy in the sports media world to absolutely ignore, its Rob Parker.

Not Reid's fault his entire team was sleepwalking through the first three quarters. Poorly prepared? Maybe they need to stop make TV commercials, shows, appearances, award ceremonies, parties, etc. and just play football. Expect the Chiefs to be really f'n pissed by September and steamroll the AFC.....again.
Always in the market for game used kinesiology tape and smelly socks.
The "problems" you accurately describe, might still be there come September. Those distractions may not totally go away.
Sure they're hissed off. The question is will they put in the necessary work to get back to the top?
I haven't analyzed this particular angle in a long time. But it used to be, in a number of examples, the Super Bowl losing team actually declined in performance the following season. Sometimes precipitously. There are a number of reasons for this. Just look how the 49ers declined this season, after losing the Super Bowl last season. They didn't even make the playoffs. Didn't even have a winning record.
I've touched on this before, but I think it bears mentioning again. Andy Reid will be 67 years old in the upcoming season. While these days, if ya eat right and stay in shape, at 67 you're still a viable employee in the workplace, in many occupations. However being a head coach of an NFL team isn't usually one of them.
The bigger problem is that Andy Reid, obviously, does not eat right or stay in shape. He has had a bad weight problem his entire head coaching life, and lately he's become a blimp. All that doesn't make for a head coach who has the energy and concentration needed, to bring back to the top a football team from the depths of arguably the worst collapse in Super Bowl history.
Hey, who knows for sure? Nostradamus couldn't predict NFL events. LOL
I think those are valid points. Kelce seems more interested in his wardrobe than football. I’ve said for a few years Mahomes is making too many commercials.
I always thought part of Tiger’s downfall was Nike. It seemed like endorsements and money and fame became more important than golf.
Although he would never admit it. He got soft. Now KC is at a crossroads. Are they getting soft? Or are they going to come back hungry.
One thing about Brady and Gronk and co., they never got soft.
I don’t even remember them making many commercials until after they retired.
so i say i'm leaving and then i come back. who do i think i am, double d?
btw the ironic thing about all that is how fixated he was for years on Rodgers' bizarreness. double d makes Aaron Rodgers look like the Pope.
but i digress.
couple weeks prior to the SB i told Perk i was going to hit Philly. when you knifed through the smoke screens, i felt the wrong team was favored.
Eagles had the best defense in the league. they had the best offensive line in the league. they had the best RB in the league. Barkley didn't do much from a stats perspective, but he still had a major impact because he loosened up the Chiefs' D and Hurts got them via the air.
and when you pull your head out of the Mahomes cloud, which team had the better collection of skill position players? KC had no running game whatsoever, Kelce/Hopkins/Juju are on retirement's doorstep, Hollywood Brown has been a shell of his former self for years, Rice was out, and that left one viable weapon: Worthy.
Hurts+Saquon+AJ Brown+DeVonta Smith was inferior to that? i think not.
i never saw 34-0 in the second half, but i certainly thought the Chiefs were the most fraudulent one-loss team i had personally ever seen going into that game. living charmed lives all season long. I mentioned this before: they had the look of a team that should have lost by three touchdowns multiple times, yet they always won. treading on thin ice, as I said in the poll thread.
they finally ran into a team -- operative word: team -- that was head and shoulders better than they were. through the ice they went.
i'm looking forward to the annual double d CU sports talk nut job camping trip. gotta make sure my NWA hat is all nice and clean so I can wear it the entire time.
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
this is a good point. success breeds new opportunity and distraction. I dont know if that is affecting KC or not, but it cannot be helping. I am not sure I would call KC soft, but distracted. possibly. you are right about Brady. he was pretty singularly focused on football when on NE, at least. I can remember 15-20 years ago when Manning vs. Brady was the big rivalry thinking that all the commercials could not be doing Peyton any favors when it came to preperation.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

¨the ironic thing about all that is how fixated he was for years on Rodgers' bizarreness. double d makes Aaron Rodgers look like the Pope¨
this quote has got me to thinking.
What if DD was actually Aaron Rodgers... I mean, think about it, they are both fixated on ARod and every single thing he does. DD is now acting like a person who has spent years taking blows to the head and ingesting DMT and ayawaska.
Has anyone ever actually seen DD and Aaron Rodgers in the same place?
I rest my case.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Welcome back!
Whoever thought the great Patrick Mahomes in his prime, for the biggest game of the season, would suddenly turn into Ryan Leaf? I think the announcer said after the first half that his QB rating was a 1, yes a 1 think I heard. He did throw a few meaningless TD's in garbage time when the Eagles were already celebrating the win. Whatever adjustments the Chiefs made, or should have made, to the Eagles vicious pass rush, sure didn't work very well.
This game caught everyone off guard. I mean the number on the line didn't move an inch from the time it opened. The only thing I noticed was the Eagles juice on the spread moved a bit higher. So percentage wise the money went for the Eagles, but not enough to move the number on the line.
I've watched countless post game press conferences over the years, and I've never seen a team more shell shocked than the Chiefs. Can they get over this? Sure they can, but I'm not sure they will. We shall see next season.
DD's posting model is have VPN and multiple email addresses, will troll. 😆
i dont blame mahomes or reid , i think the chiefs have gone cheapskate a la robert kraft
does the owner visit strip malls? why not pay for an O-line to protect the best QB in the league for instance?
