A wave of retirement speculation surrounded Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid before the team’s Super Bowl win last year. It has lingered a bit throughout the summer, prompting Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt to address it on Sunday.

Hunt was asked if he felt that there was a chance Reid would retire soon. The Chiefs CEO said he did not get that sense, and that he hoped he didn’t “for a long time.”

Question today to Chiefs’ CEO Clark Hunt: “Do you have any feeling that Andy Reid is going to retire soon?”

Hunt: “I really don’t, and I hope I don’t for a long time.”

The Reid retirement story blew up right before the Super Bowl, but he said immediately after the game that he would be back. He admitted in March that he did not know how much longer he would keep coaching, but does not feel close to retiring right now.

Reid turned 65 in March and has shown no signs of slowing down. He is 117-45 as the coach of the Chiefs, and has won a pair of Super Bowl titles.
