On January 7th 2013, the history of the Kansas City Chiefs, like everyone knew before, changed forever. A team that was coming off a 2-14 record had just fired its GM, Scott Pioli and head coach, Romeo Crennel. So, with a complete revamp of the organization needed, the Philadelphia Eagles came to their rescue. Yeah, that’s right. Their decision to fire Andy Reid not only took the Eagles organization in a new direction. They gave the Chiefs an opportunity to become what they are today.
So, here’s how everything went down, from the Eagles sacking Reid to his hiring by the Chiefs. Make no mistake—Reid was an all-time winningest head coach in Philadelphia during his 14-year tenure. In those 14 years, he led the Phillies to nine postseason berths, five NFC Championship games and a single Super Bowl appearance. However, by the time his 14th season in Philadelphia arrived, Reid was already the bookies’ favorite to face the sack. He had fans all season calling for his sack, with boos ringing all over Lincoln Field every time the Eagles lost.
