KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2013 Andy Reid<\/a> shares something in common with Marilyn Monroe, Ronald Reagan and a host of other celebrities. They\u2019ve all enjoyed multiple stays at the Arizona Biltmore. <\/p>\n

All were cool Californians, but neither the 20th-century sex symbol nor the actor turned President could rock a Hawaiian shirt like the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This week, that famous Phoenix resort hosts the NFL\u2019s annual league meeting<\/a>. It\u2019ll also host the annual photo of current head coaches.<\/p>\n

And for the first time since Clark Hunt<\/a> handed Reid the reins of the Chiefs, Reid will pose for that photo \u2013 in his normal, front-and-center seat — as the league\u2019s longest-tenured head coach. It\u2019ll mark the 28th time Reid has posed for the group shot. <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSeniors tour, 2026<\/p>\n

Cue the AARP, too, because this year\u2019s photo will contain an inordinate amount of seniors. Reid just turned 68 while John Harbaugh (N.Y. Giants) will be 64 in September. Mike McCarthy (Pittsburgh) and Todd Bowles (Tampa Bay) will each turn 63 in November, and Jim Harbaugh (L.A. Chargers) levels up to 63 in December \u2013 six days before AFC West rival Sean Payton hits the same age.<\/p>\n

The NFL could schedule the Chargers and Broncos in Week 15 and create a golden sponsorship opportunity among countless products to help senior citizens. Al Michaels, who\u2019ll be 82 by then, could do the live read in an Amazon Prime Video broadcast.<\/p>\n

Todd Monken<\/a> (Cleveland) just joined those sexagenarians in February when he saw 60 candles on his cake. Dan Quinn (Washington) is the baby of that group, turning 56 in September. <\/p>\n

Mike Tomlin<\/a> moved on after 19 years as head coach in Pittsburgh, and the Ravens opted to change on-field leadership for the first time since they hired John Harbaugh, Reid\u2019s former Eagles assistant, in 2008. Those two moves gave Reid the league’s longest active tenure<\/a> with one team, 14 years in 2026. Tomlin\u2019s headed for television while Harbaugh and Matt Nagy<\/a> are with the Giants. <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRavens’ offensive coordinator is younger than Mahomes<\/p>\n

Seeing a head-coach photo without Tomlin will be surreal. The last shot that didn\u2019t include him was 2006, when Bill Cowher<\/a> was in his final season with the Steelers. <\/p>\n

Baltimore, however, did Reid a favor by removing Jesse Minter from the AFC West. The former Chargers defensive coordinator is now head coach in Baltimore, and he turns 43 in May.<\/p>\n

Times have changed since Reid made his first Biltmore trip as Chiefs head coach in 2013, when owners voted to abolish Tom Brady\u2019s Tuck Rule and began preparing Los Angeles for an NFL franchise (the Rams were still in St. Louis, the Chargers still in San Diego).<\/p>\n

Minter\u2019s new offensive coordinator, Declan Doyle, will call plays for Lamar Jackson. Doyle, who turned 30 in early March, is six months younger than Mahomes and was nearing his first birthday when Reid won his first Super Bowl as Green Bay\u2019s tight ends coach in January 1997.<\/p>\n

Reid, Jim Harbaugh and Payton will have combined for 194 birthdays by season\u2019s end. The other AFC West head coach, Klint Kubiak, turned 39 the week after he won the Super Bowl with Seattle in February.<\/p>\n

Kubiak is actually older than his Seattle head coach, Mike Macdonald, who turns 38 in June. Kellen Moore (New Orleans), is a month younger; he\u2019ll celebrate No. 38 in July.<\/p>\n

And Buffalo\u2019s Joe Brady<\/a> (37 in September) will be the youngest. Suddenly, Sean McVay is 40 years old and now just the sixth-youngest head coach in the league. <\/p>\n

All that should make for an one of the more interesting head-coach photos in league history this week.<\/p>\n
