The Kansas City Chiefs made it clear they’ve established a modern pro football dynasty with their Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers, the franchise’s third title in five years.

Andy Reid became the fifth NFL head coach to win three Super Bowl titles, joining Bill Belichick, Chuck Noll, Bill Walsh and Joe Gibbs, and of those coaches only Reid, Belichick and Noll managed to win back-to-back titles. (Belichick did it in the 2003 and 2004 seasons and Noll did it twice, in 1974 and 1975, then again in 1978 and 1979.)

Reid is also the only coach in NFL history to win 100 games with two different franchises, and his latest triumph ratcheted up the rhetoric about his standing.

I believe he’s the best coach of all time,” Chiefs quarterback and three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes said. “I know he doesn’t have the trophies yet, and I have a lot of respect for some of those great coaches, but [it’s] the way he’s able to navigate every single team he has and continue to have success no matter where he’s at.”

Of course a quarterback is going to lobby for his coach, but the numbers make it clear that Reid is now in elite company. Only Don Shula (328), George Halas (318) and Belichick (302) have won more NFL games than Reid, who is up to 258. With the Chiefs averaging almost 12 wins per season since he arrived in 2013, the 65-year-old Reid could conceivably get to the top of the leader board if he wants to continue coaching through Mahomes’s prime.

His winning percentage trails the three men ahead of him, but no active coach has a higher win rate (including the playoffs) since 2002, when the league expanded to 32 teams, and only Belichick has more wins by at least two touchdowns than Reid over the past 22 years. Reid is also tied with Shula and Belichick for most seasons reaching the playoffs (19) all time.

Then there is his playoff record. Belichick is the only coach with more postseason victories — he has 31, five more than Reid — but no one has more playoff victories since 2013, Reid’s first year with the Chiefs. (Kansas City is 16-7 in the postseason in that span, while the Patriots are 13-5; no other team has more than 10 playoff wins.) His Chiefs are also 4-1 in the playoffs as underdogs, including two Super Bowl victories, and only Belichick and Shula have more wins in conference championship games.
