Okay, so I got curious about Andy Reid and his Super Bowl record the other day. You see him on the sidelines so often, especially lately with the Chiefs doing so well, and I started wondering, just how many times has he actually been to the big game as the head coach?
My Little Research Journey
First thing I did, naturally, was just grab my phone. Didn’t do anything fancy. I just opened up a search engine. My first thought was to type in something really basic, like “andy reid super bowls”. Simple enough, right?
A bunch of stuff came up immediately. Articles, stats pages, the whole nine yards. I saw mentions of both the Eagles and the Chiefs right away, which I kind of remembered, but I wanted to get the specific count and the results.
So, I decided to break it down. I remembered his long tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles first. I refined my search slightly, maybe something like “andy reid eagles super bowl appearance”.
- Okay, found it pretty quick. He took the Eagles to Super Bowl XXXIX. I had to check the details… yep, they lost that one to the Patriots. So that’s one appearance, one loss, with Philly.
Then, I switched gears to his current team, the Kansas City Chiefs. This felt more recent, so I figured there’d be more here. I searched for “andy reid chiefs super bowl record” or something similar.
This brought up a whole list pretty clearly:
- First one with KC was Super Bowl LIV. I recalled that one – they won against the 49ers. So that’s appearance #2, first win.
- Next year, they were back! Super Bowl LV. But I remembered that one didn’t go so well against Brady and the Buccaneers. Yep, a loss. Appearance #3, second loss overall.
- Then came Super Bowl LVII. Back again. This time against his old team, the Eagles. That was a nail-biter! Chiefs won. Appearance #4, second win.
- And most recently, Super Bowl LVIII. The overtime thriller against the 49ers again. Chiefs pulled it off. Appearance #5, third win.
Putting It All Together
So, after digging through those search results and piecing it together, I got my answer. It wasn’t super complicated, just took a few minutes of checking the details for each stint with each team.
Here’s the final tally I came up with:
- Total Super Bowl Appearances as Head Coach: 5
- With Philadelphia Eagles: 1 (Super Bowl XXXIX – Loss)
- With Kansas City Chiefs: 4 (Super Bowl LIV – Win, Super Bowl LV – Loss, Super Bowl LVII – Win, Super Bowl LVIII – Win)
So, overall, that’s 5 trips to the Super Bowl, with 3 wins and 2 losses. Pretty impressive stuff when you lay it all out like that. Glad I took a few minutes to look it up!
