The first i sue that must be addre sed when confronting the Jurrell Casey Jersey question of when is the right time to retire is no mystery: Can it be afforded? Having earned a reported $10 million to coach the Chiefs to the Super Bowl 57 title to close the 2022 NFL season, this is not a problem for Andy Reid. Lets just say hell never need to worry much about whether his Social Security deposit arrives on time.If thats covered, then its one simple question: What happens next?And the answer in Reids case, obviously, is not winning Super Bowls.Although he will turn 65 in a little more than a month, Reid appears disinclined to let even this great victory over the Eagles stand as his final statement as an NFL head coach. There is a perfection to this concept that seems irresistible winning a Super Bowl and walking away without ever having to worry about a final L but few coaches embrace it. After vacillating on the i sue in conversations prior to Sundays game, he gently deflected Fox analyst Terry Bradshaws question on the trophy podium Sunday night he was planning to enjoy this victory, he Jeffery Simmons Jersey said Reid was more emphatic in a later interview on the NFL Network set.I think Im going to hang around, he said.MORE SUPER BOWL: | | Now, that particular I think merely could be a figure of speech, the kind of linguistic crutch we all use in conversation to help us make the points we wish to make. Or it could leave the slightest bit of room for him to reconsider what he wishes to do with the rest of his life, starting now.Ever more in the coaching profe sion are choosing to continue to work in a consuming profe sion that demands an extraordinary amount of their time and energy long after theyve earned enough to finance the retirements of their children and grandchildren.The Patriots Bill Belichick is past 70 and already has won two more Super Bowls than any other coach, but he has given no indication he is close to walking away. I dont have any Steve McNair Jersey answers, he said as the end of the 2022 season approached. Theres no one-year plan, five-year plan or 10-year plan.Alabama coach Nick Saban will turn 72 during the 2023 season and has won seven of college footballs national championships, but he denied rumors that developed late last summer by saying he had no immediate plans to retire.MORE: Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim could have walked away after Final Four appearances at age 68 (in 2013) and 71 (in 2016) and marinated in that glory forever. Instead, hes griping at a student reporters question and a serting (and later withdrawing) basele s allegations against ACC opponents in a subsequent interview. I have no other plans, he told ESPN. Listen, this has been the question of the day for 15 years. This isnt a new question.I once asked Jim Calhoun, the Hall of Fame coach who won three NCAA championships at Connecticut, what kept him coaching toward his 70th birthday. He explained he could not imagine being somewhere other than the practice gym at 3 o'clock every day in the winter. Eventually, a series of health i sues led him to retire from UConn in 2012 at age 69, but when he spent the Ryan Tannehill Jersey next half-dozen years without such concerns, he took a job in Division III and coached several more years at that level.Reid figures to compete at the highest level with Mahomes manning the most important position in sports. Mahomes is under contract for nearly another decade, and their combination so far has produced five consecutive seasons of 12 wins or more, five consecutive AFC Championship game appearances, three trips to the Super Bowl and two titles. It will be tempting to Reid to coach Mahomes for as long as he remains healthy. Meaning Reid, not Mahomes, although a few more lower-leg injuries to the QB might elevate the stre s Curley Culp Jersey level more than is ideal.Reid has been a head coach, either in Philadelphia or Kansas City, for 24 years. Only six coaches have lasted longer. Only four coaches have won more games. If he were to go another five years, he would have a chance at becoming only the third coach to reach 300 victories, joining George Halas of the Bears and career leader Don Shula.MORE: Reids legacy is secure without any of that. He is one of 14 coaches to win multiple Super Bowls, one of nine to reach the Big Game at least four times. If he returns and makes it back to another, though, he then would join only Belichick, Shula and Tom Landry to make it at least five times.The temptation is there to work toward such accomplishments, but Amani Hooker Jersey more because of what they convey in the moment. That is what drives these coaches well past the time when the pursuit of money was an i sue: They revel in the work itself, even more so when it pays off with victories and championships.Id be surprised, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach told Fox 4 sportscaster John Holt of Kansas City. I think Coach has a lot of coaching ahead of him, and were certainly fortunate and ble sed to have him. Im certainly biased, but he is the best there is in this game, for sure.And he is in the game, for as long as he wishes.It is harder to walk away, it seems, than to get up every day and keep going.
