Andy Reid has three Super Bowl rings, leads two different franchises in victories and he's still going strong after a quarter-century as a head coach. Those impressive credentials made Reid a unanimous choice by The Associated Press for the NFL's No. 1 coach in a preseason survey.
A panel of eight AP Pro Football Writers ranked the top five coaches, basing selections on current status entering the 2024 season. First-place votes were worth 10 points. Second through fifth-place votes were worth 5, 3, 2 and 1 points.
Reid has led the Kansas City Chiefs to consecutive Super Bowl victories and three titles in five seasons. John Harbaugh, Sean McVay, Mike Tomlin and Kyle Shanahan each received two second-place votes. Doug Pederson, Dan Campbell, Matt LaFleur, Sean McDermott and DeMeco Ryans also received votes.
1. ANDY REID, Kansas City Chiefs Reid and Mahomes are halfway to the six Super Bowls Bill Belichick and Tom Brady won together. Reid was the most successful coach in the history of the Philadelphia Eagles before going to Kansas City and turning the Chiefs into a dynasty.
Under Reid, the Chiefs have had 11 straight winning seasons, made 10 playoff appearances, won eight consecutive AFC West titles and reached four Super Bowls in the past five years. 2. JOHN HARBAUGH, Baltimore Ravens Harbaugh led the Ravens to the NFL's best record, 13-4, and has 14 winning seasons in 16 years.
Harbaugh beat his brother to earn his only Super Bowl ring following the 2012 season. But Baltimore.
