ESPN REPORT: The head coach of the Chiefs Kingdom was fired due of his relationship with Patrick Mahomes’ wife.
Early in 2013, Andy Reid found himself at a crossroads in his career.

He had just wrapped up the most trying year of his career, which started with his son Garrett’s death during training camp (the coroner of Northampton County, Pennsylvania, believes he overdosed accidentally) and ended with the Eagles having the worst record of his career, 4-12.

He was fired by the Philadelphia Eagles after serving as their head coach for 14 years.

Some friends told Reid, then 54, that it might do him some good to step away from football for a year to relax and refresh.

Reid said he considered the idea but never seriously. He would tell them unfailingly he was more worried about himself if he didn’t have the seven-day-per-week structure that coaching provided.

The Kansas City Chiefs job he took only days after being fired by the Eagles has turned out better than he dared dream. Under his guidance, the Chiefs won a pair of Super Bowls and could get a third on Sunday when they face the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium (6:30 p.m. ET, CBS).

Reid is now approaching another crossroads. His 25th season as an NFL head coach will be over after Super Bowl LVIII, and he turns 66 next month.

The Chiefs, unlike the Eagles 11 years ago, are certainly comfortable with Reid coaching next season and into the foreseeable future. How Reid feels about it is uncertain. He recently said he hadn’t given the matter any thought.

The question at the center of it: Has enough changed in those 11 years that Reid would be comfortable leaving behind coaching and the chance to win more Super Bowl championships with Patrick Mahomes at quarterback?

Those closest to Reid would be surprised.
