Will Andy Ever Win The Big One?
https://sports.yahoo.com/andy-reid-r...170329165.html
Where does Andy Reid rank among coaches who never won a Super Bowl? January 21, 2019, 5:03 PM GMT Andy Reid had a good chance to finally get a ring, but his 20th season as a NFL head coach ended the same as the previous 19. Without a Super Bowl title. His quest to raise the Lombardi will continue. There’s no denying that Reid otherwise has one of the best resumes in league history. Reid’s 195 regular season wins are the eighth-most in league history and he has both Marty Schottenheimer (200) and Paul Brown (213) in his sights. To put it in further perspective, Reid has more regular season wins in similar timeframes than both Chuck Noll (193 wins over 23 season) and Bill Parcells (172 wins over 19 seasons). He took the Eagles to four straight NFC title games in the early 2000s, winning one before falling to the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX. Andy Reid is among the best coaches to never win a Super Bowl.* (AP) Andy Reid is among the best coaches to never win a Super Bowl. (AP) What’s more, Reid’s coaching tree is full of thick and sturdy branches and it’s hard to find anyone in the league who will say a bad word about him, which is rare. There were a lot of people left disappointed on Sunday that Reid couldn’t get by Bill Belichick again. The presence of Patrick Mahomes and the trust of the Hunt family should guarantee that Reid gets a few more good shots at winning a Super Bowl. But even if he doesn’t, he won’t be the first great coach to never win a title. Here’s how he currently ranks among the best coaches to never finish a season atop the league: 10. Marv Lewis, Bengals Regular season record: 131-122 (.518) over 16 seasons Playoff record: 0-7 What’s that? This isn’t a listicle of “best coaches to never win a playoff game?” Eh, that’s still OK. Getting the Bengals into the playoffs seven different times was a great feat for Lewis, who was finally fired after this season. He may not be the peers of the men at the top of this list, but leading one of the greatest defenses of all time (the 2000 Ravens) plus winning in Cincinnati is enough to land him on it. 9. John Fox, Panthers/Broncos/Bears Regular season: 133-123 (.520) over 16 seasons Playoff record: 8-7, two Super Bowl appearances Fox is a tricky one. Take away three dismal seasons with the Bears and his career winning percentage is .569. But take away three seasons of Peyton Manning and it plunges to .456. (It’s not lost on anyone that taking Fox away from Manning in Denver resulted in Manning’s second Super Bowl ring.) Still, Fox is just one of six coaches to take two different teams to the Super Bowl. 8. Chuck Knox, Rams/Bills/Seahawks Regular season: 186-147 (.558) over 22 seasons Playoff record: 7-11, four NFC title game appearances Fox, then Knox, then box in socks. Sounds like a Dr. Seuss stanza. Knox never made a Super Bowl, but the tough-nosed coach had a knack for turning teams around. He made four conference title games (including three in the mid-70s with the Rams) but could never quite reach the biggest stage. An unsuccessful second tour of duty with the Rams in the ‘90s marred his overall record a bit, but it’s hard to argue with 186 wins. 7. Dan Reeves, Broncos/Giants/Falcons Regular season: 190-165 (.535) over 23 seasons Playoff record: 11-9, four Super Bowl appearances Another non-winning member of the two-team Super Bowl club, it’s also hard to judge Reeves career. Do you dock him for failing to win a Super Bowl during three trips with a young John Elway? Or do you credit him for reaching one in Atlanta with Chris Chandler? Coaching an AFC team in the NFC’s era of dominance didn’t do him any favors. Don Coryell was an offensive genius with the Chargers.

Don Coryell, Cardinals/Chargers Regular season: 111-83 (.572) over 14 seasons Playoff record: 3-6, two AFC title game appearances Coryell’s innovations in the passing game earn him a revered spot amongst the coaching fraternity — as does the success of his coaching tree (John Madden, Joe Gibbs among others). Unfortunately, Coryell’s Chargers teams, which made two AFC title games, were the equivalent of the Steve Nash-era Suns. A great show that ultimately wasn’t built for postseason success. 5. Andy Reid, Eagles/Chiefs Regular season: 195-124 (.611) over 20 seasons Playoff record: 12-14 over 14 appearances, one Super Bowl appearance He’s the only man on this list who has a job and thus a chance of removing himself from it. Only reaching the Super Bowl once keeps him from being ranked ahead of the coaches below. 4. Marv Levy, Chiefs/Bills Regular season: 143-112 (.561) over 17 seasons Playoff record:11-8, four Super Bowl appearances Levy doesn’t have as many wins as other coaches on this list, but think about what he accomplished with those teams. A lot of coaches have won a Super Bowl, but only one has played in four straight — Levy. Considering those Bills teams could have easily been torn apart by a mixture of ego, success and disappointment, Levy’s coaching acumen is unquestionable. 3. Marty Schottenheimer, Browns/Chiefs/Chargers/Redskins Regular season: 200-126 (.613) over 21 seasons Playoff record: 5-13, three AFC title game appearances Schottenheimer is seventh on the NFL’s all-time coaching wins list; the six men ahead of him are all in the Hall of Fame and have at least one Super Bowl or NFL title to their names. Schotty was a great regular-season coach, but he suffered from some of the most horrendous luck in the playoffs. Were it not for “The Drive,” “The Fumble,” Lin Elliott or Marlon McCree, Schottenheimer might already be occupying a deserved spot in Canton. 2. George Allen, Rams/Redskins Regular season: 116-47-5 over 12 seasons Playoff record: 2-7, one Super Bowl appearance The father of the nickel defense, Allen was known as a football coach’s football coach. He never posted a losing season and helped turn around both the Rams and Redskins upon taking over. Allen could never win the playoffs, though, and his one Super Bowl appearance unfortunately came against the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins. Bud Grant reached four Super Bowls, but went 0-4. (Getty Images) Bud Grant reached four Super Bowls, but went 0-4. (Getty Images) 1. Bud Grant, Vikings Regular season: 158-96-5 (.621) over 18 seasons Playoff record: 10-12, four Super Bowl appearances The Vikings are one of the most underrated tortured fanbases and not enough people talk about Grant as the guy who never got the big one. After winning the Grey Cup four times in the CFL, Grant came to Minnesota and dominated the ‘70s. The Vikings won 11 of 13 NFC Central titles behind the Purple People Eaters and made the Super Bowl four times. Grant won a 290 games between the NFL and CFL, a combined total that puts him just behind George Halas and Don Shula for career coaching wins. Grant and Levy are the only Super Bowl-era coaches in the Hall of Fame who never won a Super Bowl. |

Donovan McNabb was his best QB before Mahommes... Please.

Have a top flight QB. That's the biggest thing. He never had that till this year and he was a coin flip away from getting his shot, losing to the greatest QB/coach combo of all time. He'll get there barring injury to Mahomes or health issues for himself.

Yes.
This loss in the AFCCG makes us stronger by A) getting Sutton out of here and allowing us to get the defense back up to a respectable overall ranking, and B) lighting a supreme fire under the ass of ownership. Prior to that game, the Chiefs being a true and legitimate threat to take it all AND dominate the conference was an abstract notion to Clark Hunt. That is no longer the case. As to Reid, he is getting older and I believe he knows the clock is ticking and that he will be more open to suggestions and directions which will help him achieve his ultimate goal. And I believe Clark will have a hand in steering him in these new directions.

If we get the Spagnuolo that held the previously undefeated patriots with Randy Moss to 14 points in the superbowl, the odds are good.
If we get the dumpster fire from the rams/saints/giants, a lot will have to go Andys way. Mahomes has to overcome Reids pant shitting on gameday. If he ONLY has to overcome that, and not a terrible defense as well, we have a shot. But when you got a guy calling timeout when the other team is content with 7 going into half, because he thinks his D, that cant stop a high school team is now out of the ****ing blue, gonna get a stop and he just ends up gifting them another touchdown....its tough to win big games when your coach is constantly blasting brown barbecue down both legs. You have the football. Down 3. Just over 2 minutes left when you enter the redzone. No clock is run, no timeouts are forced. You score to go up 4 with 203 left on the clock and the worst d on the planet to try to hold it. You can't constantly shit your pants in big games in regard to situational football. Not even Mahomes can overcome all that stupidity by himself. If Spagnuolo gets us to top 15 defense, we have a good shot. Anything less, better start praying.

Honestly I have doubts after Sunday's game.
Putting aside the situation on defense, Andy Reid's supposed offensive genius choked in the first half of the Faketriots game with 0 points/32 total yards. Yes Andy adjusted in the second half, but that first half was brutal. |

His teams, particularly the Chiefs teams, have been soft.
New England physically dominated them, and if not for Brady choking this would have been a double digit ass whooping. But hey, keep up that false hope! I really like Andy, and he wins a lot of games, but I have no illusions of what he is. |

Wouldn't shock me if he didn't.

If this list doesn’t motivate him, nothing will. You’re Andy Reid and you’re on a top ten coaching list of any kind with John Fox and Marvin Lewis?
Yikes. |

Then why didn't he win a super with McNabb? People always talk about how good he was.
