2021 Super Bowl Heres how Andy Reids initial staff with 1999 Eagles is still impacting the NFL today

Andy Reid faced a monumental task when he was named head coach of the in 1999, taking over a franchise that finished with a 3-13 record the previous season (the worst in the NFL) and a team that won just three of their last 19 games. Reid was tasked with fixing an offense that had averaged just 10.1 points per game the previous season, only scoring 20 points once the entire year. The challenge was monumental and the Eagles went through some growing pains in Reid's first season, but it was the beginning of a breakout coaching tree that still has branches growing in the NFL heading to this year's AFC Championship Game -- 22 years later.Reid is still a head coach -- of a different franchise in the -- and the seeds of his initial coaching staff on the 1999 Eagles are planted all over the Chiefs and the (coached by a Reid protege in Sean McDermott). The 1999 Eagles weren't juggernauts -- finishing last in the NFC East at 5-11 -- but Reid's initial coaching staff is D'Angelo Russell Jersey one of the most underrated in NFL history. Eight members on that staff became head coaches in the NFL and a few players on that team became succe sful coaches and coordinators in the league.Reid's footprint was all over last week's AFC Championship Game and continues to leave tracks around the NFL.
