The Kansas City Chiefs’ dynasty continues as they punch their ticket to another Super Bowl after downing the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship.
While head coach Andy Reid and Travis Kelce chase their third consecutive title, questions about the future loom large.
At 35, Kelce’s playing days won’t last forever, but Reid sees a different kind of future for his star tight end – one that might keep him in football long after he hangs up his cleats.
Reid recently shared some intriguing thoughts about Kelce’s potential coaching future during an appearance on Colin Cowherd’s “The Herd.”
The veteran coach didn’t hold back his praise, expressing full confidence in Kelce’s ability to transition into coaching.
“Travis would be a heck of a football coach. He’s able to get up there and explain things, and teach these young guys exactly what he sees and feels. He’s got a good feel for the game,” Reid said.

The endorsement carries serious weight coming from Reid, who’s watched Kelce develop into one of the NFL’s most dominant tight ends.
Throughout their time together, Reid has witnessed firsthand how Kelce’s deep understanding of the game translates to helping younger players grow.
While retirement rumors swirl around the 12-year veteran as Super Bowl LIX approaches, coaching could offer Kelce a compelling next chapter.
His resume speaks volumes – 10 Pro Bowl selections, 4 All-Pro nods, 3 Super Bowl rings, and a spot on the Hall of Fame All-2010’s Team.
That wealth of experience and football knowledge could make him just as impactful on the sidelines as he’s been on the field.
After all, who better to teach the next generation than someone who’s mastered the game at the highest level?
