His regular season win percentage (.609) is also significantly higher than Marvin's (.528) and Reid has always been a QB guru. Plus he doesn't have the prime-time or division rival issues that Marvin has. He'd be a massive upgrade to Marvin Lewis.
Mahomes wouldn't be as successful under the defensive minded Marvin Lewis. I'm not sure why people woefully underestimate the impact of the Head Coach, but you need look no further than Jared Goff and Nick Foles under Jeff Fisher. Or Alex Smith under Mike Singletary. Or Trubisky under John Fox. Etc etc etc.
I think the coaching aspect is highly overrated but I agree that Andy isn't the problem. The fact is we don't have the Athleticism that the Chiefs have. Hill, Watkins, Kelce, and Hunt. You Give any Decent QB those guys and he will put up huge numbers.
People forget that Andy was having an MVP season in 15 before he got hurt but not only that people forget that Andy had a good season in 13 when this team had weapons.
To me the biggest part of last night wasn't the difference in coaching or QB play. IT was the skilled players and offensive line.
