Andy Reid turned an opportunity with the Eagles into one of the most successful coaching resumes you’ll find in all of the sports and he capped his career off with a Super Bowl win over the 49ers this past February.
Five of the top head coaches in the NFL currently have worked under Reid and that includes Doug Pederson, who played under Reid and then joined him Kansas City as an assistant coach.
Now the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, Pederson is one of the top head coaches in the NFL and actually secured a Lombardi Trophy two seasons before Reid.
NBC Sports Philadelphia recently conducted a ranking of coaches who have worked under Reid and Pederson landed in the top-2 on the list behind the Ravens John Harbaugh.
