Andy Reid Weight Loss - All the Facts Here!

Grab all the weight-loss details of American football coach Andy Reid.

Andy Reid is well-known for being one of the hardest-working coaches in the National Football League. He has also gained a reputation for using a unique approach to coaching, which is teaching his players to make an effort to come up with ideas of their own to design plays. And it is working since the Kansas City Chiefs are doing remarkably well this season through such a practice. Reid is married to Tammy Reid.

Reid earned many achievements as a coach and an assistant coach in the NFL. Despite his career successes over the years, he's failed to achieve results in a certain aspect of his personal life: body weight. His weight loss struggles have taken ups and downs throughout his career as a coach, and so far, he's not been able to slim down effectively. Below, we take a look at his weight-loss details and learn what he's been doing over the years.
