However, on Wednesday, the Chiefs announced the retirement of Assistant Special Teams Coach Andy Hill, who had been a part of Reid's staff from 2020 through the 2024 season. During his tenure, Hill helped the franchise capture two Super Bowl titles and reach four championship games.
Hill's ties to Reid date back to his distinguished coaching career at the University of Missouri, where he earned a place in the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. He played a key role in leading one of the league's most consistent special teams units throughout his time in Kansas City.
"Thank you for helping us make our special teams extra special, Coach Hill. Congratulations on a well-earned retirement!" Chiefs posted.
Chiefs fans reacted to the news:

One more fan commented, "Mizzou legend."

Hill began his coaching career in 1992, just one year after Andy Reid, then an assistant at Missouri, left to begin his NFL journey. Hill eventually joined the Missouri coaching staff in 1996 and went on to spend 23 seasons with the program, becoming one of the longest-tenured coaches in school history.
