Until Andy got Mahomes neither had the QB needed to be Super Bowl champions. Put Elway or Marino with Marty, he wins multiple Super Bowls. Give Andy Reid a legit franchise QB he wins multiple Super Bowls. [Reply]
With Andy’s teams, I always feel that even with all of Andy’s shortcomings my head says we go into the playoffs with a chance to win. With Marty it was always that even with all the great attributes he had as a coach, my heart would tell me we would find a way to come up short. My heart wants to pick Marty but my head says Andy...

He's special teams were just as good (mike stock?)
He's offensive lines were just as good, probably better(Solari)
His running games were just as good
The only 2 things Marty couldn't do:
Quarterbacks
Passing game
The 2 things that Andy Reid is great at.
The quarterbacks thing is kind of a myth.
Phillip Rivers, Joe Montana, Drew Brees and Bernie Kosar say hi!

They both have had their share of ‘head scratcher’ losses every year.
This. Both got the Chiefs to an AFCCG, and both lost.
The difference is, Marty was able to get teams with less talent to overachieve. Andy seems to have some of the most talented rosters that underachieve. [Reply]

Someone is going to challenge you on this. Marty definitely got lesser offenses to overachieve, but he always had a good if not stacked defense.
Frankly, I voted for Gaz's mom because both of those coaches are the rectalAIDS of the post season. [Reply]

Andy turned a murder-suicide Chiefs to a team that just made me want to commit suicide in the playoff loss to the Colts. That was a real upgrade with minimal talent uplift. [Reply]

That is a very good point and another indicator as to who is the better coach. [Reply]
