As the Kansas City Chiefs kicked off their 2025 training camp, the spotlight turned to head coach Andy Reid, whose 33rd NFL season is underway with a bold, unexpected declaration: “We’re chasing history, not just rings.” This seven-word statement, delivered with Reid’s characteristic calm intensity, sent ripples through the Chiefs’ fanbase and set the tone for a team hungry to reclaim their throne after a heartbreaking Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles—the franchise Reid once led for 14 years.
Now in his 13th season with Kansas City, Reid, affectionately dubbed “Big Red,” continues to cement his legacy as one of the NFL’s all-time great coaches. With three Super Bowl titles, five Super Bowl appearances, and an unprecedented nine straight AFC West crowns under his belt, Reid’s Chiefs are the closest the NFL has seen to a dynasty since the Tom Brady-Bill Belichick Patriots. Yet, at 67, Reid’s fire burns brighter than ever, fueled by the dynamic duo of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, both cornerstones of the roster since Reid’s arrival in 2013.

The Chiefs’ social media post capturing Reid in his signature Hawaiian collared shirt sparked a frenzy among fans. “33rd NFL Training Camp for Big Red,” the team declared, prompting an outpouring of admiration. “Sirianni don’t know what’s about to hit him,” one fan quipped, referencing Eagles coach Nick Sirianni. Another simply stated, “Aura.” Others piled on, calling Reid a “LEGEND” and the “Greatest of all time,” with one fan rallying, “Go get you another [ring], coach!”
Reid’s seven-word bombshell underscores his ambition for 2025: not just another championship, but a historic run to etch Kansas City’s name deeper into NFL lore. Despite a stacked AFC, the Chiefs remain the team to beat, perennial favorites to dominate their division and contend for the conference crown. Since Reid and Mahomes joined forces, only two teams have derailed their playoff runs: Brady’s Patriots and the 2021 Bengals.
As training camp unfolds, Reid’s leadership, paired with his bold vision, has electrified Kansas City. The Chiefs aren’t just aiming for a fourth Lombardi Trophy—they’re chasing immortality. With “Big Red” at the helm, the NFL world is on notice: history awaits.
