The Kansas City Chiefs were supposed to be contending for another championship. Instead, they are sitting at 5-5, and Chiefs Kingdom is melting down. As frustration grows, a loud portion of the fanbase has started calling for head coach Andy Reid’s job.
The shift has been stunning. Reid, who delivered Super Bowls and built one of the most dangerous offenses in NFL history, is now facing a level of criticism he has not seen in Kansas City. Many fans believe this year’s collapse reflects deeper problems that coaching can no longer fix.

The tweet above captured the spiraling mood, with fans pointing out that this is the worst stretch the Chiefs have seen since 2015. For a franchise used to double-digit wins and January dominance, the sudden mediocrity feels like a gut punch.
Social media reaction has intensified. One Chiefs fan wrote, “We look lost every week. If Andy can’t fix this now, someone else needs to.” Another added, “Reid gave us greatness, but this team has no fire anymore.”
On the field, the struggles are obvious. The offense lacks rhythm, the wide receiver room continues to be inconsistent, and the once intimidating aura around Kansas City has faded. Opponents no longer fear fourth-quarter magic.
Critics argue that Reid’s scheme has grown stale and that the Chiefs have leaned too heavily on Patrick Mahomes to cover deeper flaws. Supporters push back, saying Reid has earned the right to fix the mess.
For now, the tension keeps rising as Kansas City enters a season-defining stretch.
