There is no question about it. Andy is an excellent HC but he's also gotten a lot of luck and excellent big game performances from some of their players.
Chris Jones made two plays in that 2019 SB that if neither is made KC loses that game. Nothing at all to do with Andy.
Chris and McDuffie took things over in this past SB. There was a reason Kelce was screaming at Andy and it wasn't a "great job big guy!"
Mahomes is able to take the game into his own hands and do some really special things out there whether with his legs or his arm and those things have nothing to do with Andy's playcalling or game planning.
Reid is an all time HC, a likely first ballot HOF, and maybe Mt Rushmore type coach.. he's currently 4th all time in wins.
this is from wiki: He is the only NFL coach to win 100 games and appear in four consecutive conference championships with two different franchises.
Reid is great for sure.
But he's not infallible, which is a reputation he's gotten while pre-Mahomes he had this choker label no different than Kyle....
Really, nobody is infallible.
I think with a great QB, the synergy is such that lost games become won (i.e. Mahomes/Reid, Brady/Belichick, Montana/Walsh).....we can maybe hope that Purdy/Shanahan join that list, where the defense and special teams can rise to the occasion when the offense isn't...
