Reid, who has faced numerous questions about how long he will continue coaching, insists he isn’t ready to retire just yet.

He draws on advice from his parents to help gauge when the time will be right.

His current contract with the Chiefs runs through the 2029 season, and Reid acknowledges that it could be a point to consider stepping down.

“I know I’m on the bottom side of this thing and not on the top side of the net,”Reid commented on a recent interview with The Athletic.

“So as it’s coming, but I don’t know what it is. And, this is a great place to coach, and I’ve got good players. I’ll be 71 at the end of this contract, and that seems like really old, you know, I don’t really know. And, so I well, we’ll see, see where it all goes.”

After back-to-back Super Bowl victories, Reid joined an elite group of coaches, including Bill Belichick, Chuck Noll, Joe Gibbs, and Bill Walsh, with three or more Super Bowl rings.

Achieving a three-peat would further solidify his legacy, but Reid isn’t preoccupied with that possibility.

“I don’t think a lot about that, but I think that would be pretty neat. A neat thing to do,” Reid remarked in February.

“You don’t really go there when you’re in this thing. You go back to your dark room and the film and the draft coming up and the combine. All those things, that’s kind of where you go. You’re not talking three-peat. Well, some guys do. You know, it’d be great.”
