There’s an old saying in sports (and in life): What goes around, comes around. Brett Favre might know a thing or two about that. The Hall of Fame quarterback has revisited an infamous clip involving Andy Reid. But how long has it been? More than 27 years… after a moment that seemed like just another sideline outburst. The internet has plenty to say about it, of course.

Imagine this. It’s 1997. The Packers are gearing up for a playoff run… and Brett Favre is caught on camera sharing a moment of mischief. Fast-forward to 2025. The quarterback-turned-commentator just brought the clip back to light. Favre posted the video on X. “Gotta love Coach Andy Reid taking one for the team 😂,” he wrote. The clip shows Reid getting an earful from then-Packers head coach Mike Holmgren after a failed play. But here’s the kicker.

Favre can be seen in the background grinning. As if he knew exactly what was going on. Did he set Reid up? Or was he just enjoying the show? Hard to tell. But there’s more on Reid’s Packers’ stint.

Well, the drama in the clip unfurls like this:

QB Favre tells Reid: “I love you, man.” For which Reid replied, “Yeah, I can tell. I hope you still love me after I get my a** whooped.” Then enters a furious Holmgren with a question, who called the play?

Reid: “That’s me,”

Holmgren: “Why, why is it you?” an incandescent Holmgren barks back.

Reid: “That’s me, I sent in the wrong thing.”

Holmgren: “The formation?”

Reid: “Moonlight F short, I sent it in.” Reid added that before Holmgren told everyone to get back to the first 15.

What was hilarious? Favre grinning in the background. Reid was working under Holmgren as an assistant offensive line and TEs coach from 1992 to 1996. He then became assistant HC and quarterbacks coach in 1997-98. That stint helped him develop into one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. However, he was just another assistant trying to make his way. But that was before the Super Bowls and record-breaking wins. And it’s almost poetic that the clip resurfaced now.

Reid has now been with the Chiefs for a while and cemented his legacy as one of the all-time greats. He’s now chasing his fourth Super Bowl ring with 299 wins. Moreover, he is the only coach to win 100 games with two different franchises. Yet, Favre’s clip reminds us all the long road he took to get here.

But why did Favre bring it up now? It was perhaps just some lighthearted fun. Perhaps a nod to how far Reid has come. Either way, it adds another chapter to the story of a legendary coach. A coach who transformed from being chewed out on the Packers’ sideline. Someone currently orchestrating one of the greatest dynasties in NFL history.

Reid’s quest for greatness isn’t over

One debate is heating up now. It’s whether Andy Reid has officially surpassed Bill Belichick. In what? As the greatest coach of this era. Umm… this question wouldn’t have even made sense half a decade ago. Now? It’s getting harder to ignore. However, Reid’s only real obstacle is the championship count.

Belichick still holds six rings to Reid’s three. But that gap shrinks even more if the Chiefs win another Super Bowl this season. However, Reid’s ability to build winning teams with multiple quarterbacks probably puts him ahead. A feat Belichick can’t claim outside of Tom Brady. Reid has nurtured gun QBs. Be it Donovan McNabb or Patrick Mahomes.

Reid’s coaching record speaks for itself. His 0.652 career-winning percentage is now higher than Belichick’s 0.647. Moreover, he’s just 28 wins away from passing Belichick on the all-time list. And that milestone seems well within reach if he coaches for a few more years. The real kicker?

Besides, Reid would do something no other coach has ever accomplished if the Chiefs eventually complete a three-peat this year. Not even Belichick. And that might be the moment that shifts the conversation for good.

Favre’s throwback clip was funny. But it also served as a reminder. Andy Reid has been in the game for a long time. And he’s not done making history yet.
