One of the most talked about storylines around Super Bowl is Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid facing his former team.
Reid was the Philadelphia Eagles’ head coach from 1999-2012.
Over those 14 seasons, Reid had a record of 130-93-1, making him the winningest coach in Eagles history.
Reid led the Eagles to one Super Bowl in those years, which was a loss to the New England Patriots in 04-05.
Despite never winning the big game in Philadelphia, he is still beloved by many Eagles fans.
Now Reid is looking for his second Super Bowl title with the Chiefs with his former team standing in the way.
He joins a list of five coaches facing their former teams in the Super Bowl.

The last time we saw it was in 2015.
When Pete Carroll’s Seahawks faced the New England Patriots.
That game was played in Arizona, just like the one we will see this weekend.
Carroll’s team heartbreakingly lost that game, and Reid is hoping to avoid a similar outcome.
Plenty of pressure will be on Reid in this game, being the offensive guru of the Chiefs.
He will need to come up with a great game plan to slow down an elite Eagles pass rush.
Kansas City had the top offense in the NFL this season.
Leading the league in both yards (413.6) and points per game (29.2).
The Chiefs will have to put forth another scoring outburst if they hope to come out on top.
Reid has plenty to gain from this game when it comes to his coaching legacy.
With a win, he moves to 2-2 in Super Bowls, but a loss drops him to 1-3 and questions will arise about his ability to win the big game.
Reid is one of the top coaches of all time, be he needs to win this game to further cement his legacy.
