Super Bowl LX doesn’t feature the Kansas City Chiefs, but there’s still plenty of discussion on radio row with the team and its members. In defense of his former head coach, Bill Belichick, against his Hall of Fame snub, Rob Gronkowski used Chiefs head coach Andy Reid as an example during an interview with Front Office Sports.

“Coach Belichick needs to be in the Hall of Fame, and it needs to be a first ballot,” said Gronkowski. “Now there’s no such thing as a first-ballot Hall of Fame coach. No other coach ever in history should go first-ballot. There’s a guy out there, Andy Reid, but he can’t go first-ballot now because coach Belichick wasn’t first-ballot.”

Reid is the winningest coach for two different teams (the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles), a three-time Super Bowl winner, and is entering his 28th season as head coach in 2026. The Chiefs have qualified for the playoffs eleven times in thirteen seasons.

The notion that he could also face the same fate as Belichick seems outlandish, given that past alleged scandals are believed to be affecting the former Patriots coach’s status. Chiefs fans or Reid are thinking about the end of his career at this moment, as the build-up to 2026 is underway.
