Get it now: Andy Reid – From OL to Head Coach
At the C.O.O.L. Clinic, Andy Reid didn’t waste time with fluff. Speaking to a room packed with offensive line coaches, he laid it out straight: you’re the heart of the team, and you’re already wired to run the whole show.
Offensive line coaches get it in a way others don’t. You push players to dig deeper, mold five guys into one tight unit, and lead with grit and humility when no one’s looking. Reid didn’t just say O-line coaches can be great head coaches—he showed why you’re already doing the job, right under everyone’s nose.
“We know how to hit the core of players and pull out their best,” Reid said.
While other coaches chase matchups or spotlight moments, O-line coaches build trust, hammer repetition, and deliver under fire. You don’t beg for praise. You focus on unity. You get it done, whether the crowd notices or not.
“Five guys have to move like one,” Reid explained. “That dance has to be flawless.”
He nailed what every O-line coach lives: a gritty, unique world of protecting, motivating, and building belief. You grind with your players until the results scream for themselves.
“We don’t chase compliments,” Reid said. “We just keep rolling.”
O-line coaches aren’t just ready to lead—they’ve been leading all along. Reid’s point was clear: stop waiting for a green light to be a head coach. You already know the way.
