N/S Is Andy Reid A Hall Of Famer? (1 Viewer)

Yes absolutely Reid is HOF material.

His longevity at the highest level plus the man that he has been and continues to be earned that for him.

He's one of the good guys!!

He’s close. I do not think he will get in if he doesn’t win. Schottenhiemer isn’t in, and he is roughly the same level as Reid at this point. Now if he can win it all this year, and he continues with his success in KC as he should, he will easily be a first ballot HofF coach.

Schottenheimer never had as close to the same postseason success over his long coaching career as Reid has enjoyed. One major, nagging criticism Marty always faced and ultimately he never really disproved was that he was a great regular season HC when given great talented teams but he micro-manager them once in the playoffs. The only one of Schottenhiemers teams he coached that he had the most success with were the old Browns and they were on the receiving end of two of the most painful, epic, postseason losses ever:The Drive and the Fumble. Even if you chalk up Marty's losses to Elway's Broncos in those AFCCG's as horrendously bad luck, his fortunes didn't change with the Chiefs either. Kansas City was one of the most winniest franchises in the NFL in 1990s, but under Marty, they only won 3 playoff games and made one AFCCG( 1993),.

In summary, Reid has actually gone further in the postseason with his teams regularly and won more playoff games then Schottenheimer ever came close to.

Excellent post.

Also Marty was never regarded as the pure Offensive innovator, cutting edge play-caller as Andy Reid is.

Marty was known for Coaching smash-mouth Running Football teams, and playing good Defense. He got way too conservative in the play-offs to a detriment. Hence the term "Marty-ball" because he would just run-run-run with a lead; to try and squeeze out the clock and hope to eek out a win and while it won him regular season games it came back to bite him in the play-offs.

Reid has been known to constantly innovate his Offensive schemes, and constantly looks toward the College, and even High-School Offensive trends and implements them into his own Offense. Combining elements of the College Spread attack, with traditional West Coast principles in his passing game. He was also really the first guy that started predominantly using the Jet-action plays, fakes from college, into his Pro Offenses to put a horizontal stretch on Defenses.

It won't matter. Reid came from the Mike Holmgren coaching tree, along with Jon Gruden. Who descended from Bill Walsh's 49ers coaching staff; which brought the proliferation of the modern day West Coast Offense into the NFL.

He boasts a pretty significant Coaching tree already Doug Pederson, John Harbaugh, Sean McDermott, Ron Rivera, Matt Nagy all were assistants on Andy Reid's coaching staffs at one point and they all credit Andy heavily for helping them grow and develop the skills to become Head Coaches.

As of right now he ranks 7th all time among NFL Head Coaches in Wins, he is highly regarded among his peers, which are a lot of current, and former head coaches which will be the ones voting him into the Hall one day. So trust me even if he doesn't win a Super Bowl it won't having any bearing on him being voted in. The NFL Coaching circle is one big fraternity. He's a lock.

Has a head coach that has not won a Super Bowl been voted into the Hall of Fame?

Two.

Bud Grant - Purple People Eaters era Vikings

and

Marv Levy - early 90's Bills... yes those Bills...

If he gets in thats good news for SP, b/c I view SP as the Andy Reid of the NFC. Especially since 2010 where, like Andy, win a lot of regular season games then do almost nothing in the playoffs.

 

[Da Beast]

Without question

 

[sfidc3]

A hard YES....he may be the best head coach in the NFL with regards to evaluating talent...and his teams are always well coached...I hope he gets the SB win this year.....I still hate the 9ers.....

Andy Reid should get in on his 13 year old punt, pass and kick prowess alone. Dude looks like he's in his twenties when he was 13.
