Late last month, NBC’s Pro Football Talk revealed the NFL’s plans for new rules pertaining to coaches’ in-game media availability.
Networks broadcasting games will be granted limited access to locker rooms, and coaches will also be interviewed by sideline reporters during games.
Longtime Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he will fulfill his in-game media requirements, beginning Sept. 5 when Kansas City hosts the Baltimore Ravens. But he also tempered viewers’ expectations.
“I’m not very good during games on interviews. I won’t be very fancy with these interviews,” Reid told reporters Friday. “I don’t know. Listen, I’ve got to do it. I’m going to do it. I’m an NFL team guy, so I’m going to do it. But don’t expect much.”
Reid enters the 2024 season with 258 wins, which puts him in fourth place on the NFL’s career list.
