After Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick, who are both 72, were dismissed after the 2023 season by the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, respectively, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is now the oldest coach in the NFL.

He turned 66 in March.

Now, a new contract extension takes him through the 2029 season when he’d be 71 years old.

“I’m incredibly grateful to Clark and the entire Hunt family for giving me the opportunity to lead this historic franchise,” Reid said in a statement released by the team. “Chiefs Kingdom is a special place, and I’m blessed to have the opportunity to be here.”

Of course, Reid could retire well before 2029, but this new deal, which was announced four days before the 2024 NFL Draft, at least gives him the opportunity to coach until that age.

After his previous contract extension, Reid discussed his willingness to become a coaching septuagenarian.

“Listen, if it takes me into my 70s, then let’s roll,” he said. “Doggone it, I’m ready to go.”

For this go-around, the Chiefs not only announced an extended deal with Reid, but also general manager Brett Veach and president Mark Donovan, who have been with Reid since his Philadelphia Eagles days.

“Mark, Brett and Andy have achieved historic success together, and we are thrilled that they will continue in their roles for many years to come,” Chiefs owner Clark Hunt said in a statement. “Individually, Mark, Brett and Andy each represent the best in the National Football League at their respective positions, and together they make up one of the finest leadership teams in all of professional sports. They have been tremendous leaders for this organization on and off the field, and we look forward to their continued success in the years ahead.”

That triumvirate has been at the top of their respective departments during the Chiefs’ run of three Super Bowl titles in five years.

Veach capably succeeded John Dorsey, who drafted many of the key components of the Chiefs’ dynasty, including Travis Kelce, Chris Jones, Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill.

Veach, though, is often credited with pushing Dorsey to trade up for Mahomes.

“I am blessed to work alongside very talented people and am proud of the work we’ve done to bring three Super Bowls to Kansas City,” Veach said. “I am excited to continue my career in a city that’s embraced me and my family the way it has and look forward to more opportunities to bring more championships to Chiefs Kingdom.”

Donovan spearheads the business front. He’s been a key figure in the Chiefs’ international growth and has a major objective in front of him as the Chiefs look to renovate GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. The April vote to extend a 3/8-cent tax to help fund those renovations did not pass.

“I’m proud to be a part of a team that has had unprecedented success,” Donovan said, “and look forward to creating and experiencing more historic moments with the Kingdom.”

Donovan is 58, and Veach is 46, but Reid, who has 258 regular-season wins, is both the senior and central figure.

If he coaches the duration of his extension, he not only will surpass his tenure as Eagles coach, which began in 1999, but he will have a good chance of becoming the all-time leader in NFL head coaching wins.

“Over the last 11 years, Tammy and I have enjoyed calling Kansas City our home,” Reid said. ”The community has embraced us.”
