Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has done it again! After leading the Chiefs to a record-breaking 15-2 regular season in 2024, Reid has been named the AFC Coach of the Year with the prestigious 101 Awards.
Tavia Hunt Has Her Own Version of Congratulating Andy Reid for the Honor
While fans celebrated Reid’s well-deserved recognition from the Annual 101 Awards Committee, Chiefs owner Clark Hunt’s wife, Tavia Hunt, took to Instagram to voice her thoughts.
In her post, she applauded Reid while delivering a stern message to the NFL, writing, “Should be every year for the past SEVEN – IMO 🙌🏼.”
Tavia’s claim finds its root in Reid’s consistency, as the Chiefs have dominated the league under his leadership for over a decade. However, Reid hadn’t won the AFC Coach of the Year award since 2015, a fact that Tavia’s comment highlighted.
Reid’s achievements in 2024 are nothing short of historic. The Chiefs claimed the top seed in the AFC playoffs, and Reid guided the team to a blistering 9-0 start, tying a franchise record. He capped off the year with his 300th career win.
He now boasts 273 regular-season victories and 27 playoff wins. The 66-year-old now finds himself among the NFL’s all-time coaching greats, trailing only legends like Don Shula, Bill Belichick, and George Halas in total wins.
Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt praised Reid during an appearance on
“Good Morning Football.”
“We’re so excited for Andy. I think there’s an argument to be made that he could really win the award every year. He’s had an absolutely amazing year. Fifteen regular-season wins, which is a franchise record. We’ve dealt with a lot of adversity throughout the year – he’s done an incredible job,” Hunt said.

As the Chiefs prepare to face the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game, Reid remains laser-focused on reaching Super Bowl LIX. Reid’s Chiefs are firing on all cylinders, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Kansas City is in prime position to add yet another chapter to its already illustrious story — three-peating the Super Bowl. If the veteran coach secures another Lombardi Trophy, Tavia Hunt’s suggestion of yearly recognition might start sounding less “stern” and more like common sense.
