Chiefs’ Andy Reid Says His Coaching Style Is ‘Treat People The Way I’d Want To Be Treated’

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that his coaching style is to “treat people the way I’d want to be treated.”

Reid’s comments came when he was asked about his coaching style during a Super Bowl LV media session on February 2.

“I think we all want to be treated a certain way,” Reid said, “I know how I like to be treated… you don’t necessarily have to yell and scream at me to get me to do something better. I mean I don’t think that’s the best approach. And then I think after a little while, I know myself, I just would turn that person off and probably not listen to anything they said. So I kind of go about it that way.”

“I try to treat people the way I’d want to be treated,” Reid continued. “I think, whether it’s through what I’ve learned in church or family, I think we’re here as teachers, and that’s what I do. So that’s how I look at myself as a teacher and in my case men, young men. And whether it’s on the field or off the field, if I can give them any experience to help them… become better players or husbands… fathers, I try to do that.”
