Ranking the AFC West head coaches

Ranking the AFC West head coaches

The offenses are ranked. So are the defenses. Even the kickers and punters got their due. Now last, but not least, we list the men who call the shots—the head coaches.

1. Chiefs

Head coach: Andy Reid

Reid has long been one of the most well-respected head coaches in NFL history. So much so that with a Lombardi trophy now, he is assured a place in Canton. He has a 207-128 regular-season record with Eagles and Chiefs and has led his team to the playoffs 15 times over 21 years. He’s had a losing record just three times in 21 years and has never had a losing record with the Chiefs. That’s absurd.

Overall, his record in the playoffs is 15-14 with two conference championships and one Super Bowl win.

When he took over the Chiefs in 2013, he acquired Alex Smith in trade with the 49ers and for five years, was in the playoffs four times. Despite winning with Smith, just making the playoffs wasn’t enough, so Reid traded up in the 2017 draft to get Pat Mahomes. Then a year later, he traded Smith to Washington and started Mahomes who was MVP in his first year as a starter and Super Bowl champion in his second season.
