Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has made no secret of his strong ties to BYU. He was recently seen in the crowd supporting the Men's basketball team during March Madness.
The long-time head coach was back in Utah for the 13th annual Governor's State of Sport Awards ceremony at the Delta Center last Friday night. He spoke with reporters about the improvements the Cougars' football team made this past season.
"I had a chance to watch all their games last year. I just saw the way they stepped up this year compared to the year before," said Reid. "They lost a couple of really good players, so they were able to fill in, and I thought offensively, defensively, and special teams-wise, they did a nice job."
BYU finished the 2024 season at 11-2, ranked No. 13 in the Associated Press poll, and won the Alamo Bowl. The Cougars bounced back to prominence after a 5-7 season last year.
"The defense really stepped up. I thought really did a nice job with how they presented themselves. That's a tough conference with a lot of speed. They were able to match up and play good, physical football," said Reid. Likewise, on the offensive side, BYU is known for its offense. The defense (at BYU) doesn't get a lot of credit for everything, but they sure deserve that this year."
Reid attended the event as a special guest, honoring former teammate Tom Holmoe’s legacy.
