Clark Hunt attended Super Bowl Opening Night alongside other executives and took the opportunity to address the future of head coach Andy Reid and whether he will return to lead the Kansas City Chiefs next season.
According to Hunt, he is certain that Reid will be back with the team in 2025. “I know for a fact he’s going to be back next year,” Hunt stated, seemingly confirming that Reid will remain in Kansas City for at least another NFL season to keep helping the team.
The Chiefs owner also expressed surprise over the rumors suggesting Reid might leave the franchise. From Hunt’s perspective, Reid is enjoying his time with the team. “I know how much fun Andy is having,” he said, adding that coaching the Chiefs has been rejuvenating for him. “In a lot of ways, he is rejuvenated by the success he has had.” Hunt emphasized that Reid truly loves what he does and remains passionate about the game.
One of the most interesting things Hunt mentioned about the possibility of Reid staying with the Chiefs is how, according to him, Patrick Mahomes plays a fundamental role in that decision, saying, “his match with the quarterback, that’s a perfect complement for him and Patrick [Mahomes].” It’s worth noting that the Kansas City quarterback also joked during the Super Bowl Opening Night about the only way to stop him was to take Reid away from his side.
