Is Andy Reid the next Lavell Edwards
Andy Reid Chiefs Head Coach won his second super bowl Sunday and many are wondering where he ranks amongst head coaches. Some are calling him the best candidate to be Lavell Edwards’s protégé. He is up there for that and I think that he is looking at Edward’s Coaching Tree he is the best candidate. Reid loves the pass just as much as Edwards did and being on a team in college who did everything but run the football is how he works today. He has got an all-star lineup on that field and a future hall-of-fame quarterback to lead on the field.

Andy Reid
After Sunday’s win, Reid now has 247 wins, 22 playoff wins, 10 conference championships, 4 super bowl appearances, and 2 super bowl victories. Lavell Edwards is the reason that Reid is coaching today. Reid like Edwards is a people person first and a coach on the football second. Edwards would call Reid regularly to talk about life.
Andy Reid played for BYU from 1978-1980 and learned the passing game from Edwards and you see a lot of how his offense runs looks similar to Edwards. Reid has a spot waiting for him in Canton when he is ready to hang his coaching hat up and one at BYU. Coach brings out the best in his players and makes men out of them just like Edwards did for so many.
