HENDERSON, Nev. — Until Chiefs coach Andy Reid says definitively he’s coming back next season, speculation about him retiring will continue. And as he prepares for the Super Bowl, which could be his final game, he left his future open-ended.

“Am I retiring?” Reid said. “I’m ready to go right now. Let’s go... Today’s not the day.”

Reid will turn 66 next month and is wrapping up his 25th season as a head coach.

A win over the 49ers on Sunday would make him one of 11 head coaches to win a Super Bowl, matching legends like Bill Walsh and Joe Gibbs.
