Andy Reid is leading the Kansas City Chiefs to their third Super Bowl. But 37 years ago, he did an equally masterful job of coaching in Arizona.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and players Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Carlos Dunlap speak about the upcoming significance of Super Bowl 57.The offensive linemen who gathered in a meeting room at Northern Arizona University’s business college in 1986 won’t defy logic and ask you to believe they knew the new position coach they met that day would go on to accomplish such things as leading the Chiefs to three Super Bowls, including the one Sunday at State Farm Stadium.
Thirty-seven years ago, no one in NAU’s program dreamed Reid would have a career worthy of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But Reid made a great first impression on that day in the room at the business college, where NAU’s football team held its meetings, and a lasting one in his only year in Flagstaff.First, “a year in football is a long time,” said Vince Beemiller, a starting tackle that year.Reid proved quickly that he knew how to teach football, how to motivate and how to relate to people.
The offensive line had been poorly coached prior to Reid, and the players were starved for teaching. Reid gave it to them beginning with that first day. For two hours or so, the linemen jumped rope, crab-walked 100 yards, then lunged for 25. Reid had unique names for each exercise. The lunges, for instance, were known as “Chuck Berrys.”“Your legs were pretty fried,” Beemiller said.But Reid was not a screamer. He didn’t demean players. He didn’t swear at them.
“They’re good guys,” Reid said Monday night at the Chiefs’ first media availability of the week. “Real good guys. A Nevada fan gave a muscle-bound Moran grief for it as he warmed up for the game in the end zone. The guy, Moran said, was relentless, and Moran had a reputation back then for being a bit of a hothead.
