Andy Reid firing theory considered “ridiculous”, but creativity called into question

Article arrow_drop_down

It’s official: The Kansas City Chiefs will not partake in this season’s NFL playoffs. It’s the first time a postseason won’t feature the Chiefs since 2014, marking the end of an insane run under head coach Andy Reid. This season, too many things went wrong for the team, capped off with Patrick Mahomes tearing his ACL in the game that sunk the Chiefs’ season.

Mahomes isn’t expecting to miss any time next season, but one down season is enough for fans to call this the end of the Chiefs’ dynasty. Some saw it coming, pointing out that regression was going to hit hard after Kansas City won so many one-score games in recent years that easily could have swung the other way. It certainly did in 2025. But the manner in which the Chiefs lost has called into question Reid’s job security, which may seem insane to some and justified to others.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid calls out Patrick Mahomes in frustrated video

Has Andy Reid lost his creativity on offense?

A head coach who has had the type of success Reid has is allowed to have one down season in over a decade. That’s why many are calling the idea of firing Reid “ridiculous” and “bonkers”. But some analysts can’t help but wonder if the game has passed Reid by, at least on offense. There’s been a notable lack of creativity within the Chiefs offense, with Reid’s scheme relying on concepts that simply don’t work as well now than they did in the past.

While there’s more at play than just Reid getting a bit stale with his play designs and play calling, the numbers definitely reflect the idea that he needs to try new concepts. Mahomes’ last three seasons have been a far cry from his MVP form in 2018 and 2022. This season was supposed to come with a revitalization of the Chiefs’ deep passing game, but that never fully came to fruition.

With Mahomes coming back from a major knee injury in 2026, Reid may not be able to count on the quarterback’s athleticism and playmaking ability outside the pocket to save the offense so frequently. That means a revamping of offensive ideas will be needed from the soon-to-be 68-year-old head coach.

Pittsburgh Pirates’ Paul Skenes: Honors without a Ring

The Pittsburgh Pirates’ ace pitcher Paul Skenes has had a tremendous start to his Major League Baseball career. In his first two seasons he has won several of the major awards presented following the end of each baseball season. Unfortunately for the young man is the team he plays for. Perennial losers and a club that hasn’t made the playoffs since 2015, the Bucs future is bleak. The Pirates chances of competing for a postseason appearance is next to none. What does that mean for one of the best pitchers in baseball? Paul Skenes may never have a shot at winning a World Series title if he remains in Pittsburgh. Having won the Rookie of the Year and the Cy Young Award in back-to-back years, places Skenes in a very special Pirates class. Only two men before him wearing a […]

Španělé ze Skotska! Ostrovní soupeř překvapil kapitána Sparty

Sparta, stejně jako před každým zápasem, absolvovala několik sezení u videa. Realizační tým vrýval hráčům do hlav poznatky třeba o způsobu výstavby hry. No, a ten by mohl leckoho překvapit.„Možná byste od skotského týmu čekali, že bude hrát ostrovní fotbal. Od stopera kopne vysoký balon na útočníka. Ale z videa to skoro vypadalo, jak kdybychom hráli s nějakými Španěly,“ vykládal Haraslín.„To zase ne, pořád jsme skotský mančaft,“ reagoval na jeho slova s úsměvem kouč Aberdeenu Jimmy Thelin. Zkusí to i na Letné hezky po zemi odzadu? Možná by se to nabízelo, jeho svěřenci už vzhledem k zisku pouhých dvou bodů neživí ani teoretickou šanci na místenku do pohárového jara.„Snažíme se na výstavbě hry pracovat, zlepšovat se v rozehrávce. Bude to zajímavá konfrontace, protože Sparta je skvělá v presinku,“ tuší Thelin. Trenér Aberdeenu, mimochodem, během tiskové konference několikrát pochválil realizační tým svého čtvrtečního soka. V čele s Brianem Priskem.„Sparta má velmi dobrého trenéra. […]

Zach Wilson ‘frustrated’ after Dolphins pick Quinn Ewers as starter over him after Tua Tagovailoa benching

It wasn't exactly a surprise when the Miami Dolphins announced Wednesday they were benching starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. That had been a long time coming.It was, however, somewhat unexpected when the team tapped seventh-round rookie Quinn Ewers as the new starter and not the more experienced Zach Wilson. Especially for Wilson, apparently.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSpeaking with the Miami Herald after Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel announced the change under center, Wilson reportedly said he was "frustrated" and maybe a little confused as well" about being passed over for starting duties this coming Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.He did wish Ewers well, though, via the Herald:"Of course I would love to play," Wilson said. "...I can't control that. My job is to go out and do the best I can. Keep preparing, .... getting better, supporting Quinn. Excited for him to get his first […]
