That season the Cougars also hired [[coaches:187]] as the quarterbacks coach, the first of many seasons that Reid and Holmgren worked together.

San Francisco State

In 1983, Reid returned to California as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for San Francisco State under head coach Vic Rowen. The San Francisco State Gators led the nation in passing yards and total offense each season Reid coached there. Nevertheless, the team struggled, winning only seven games in year. 1985 was the first of many formative coaching years with Dirk Koetter.

Northern Arizona

After three seasons in San Francisco, Reid moved to Arizona as the offensive line coach of the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks for the 1986 season, where the team went 7-4.

Texas-El Paso

In 1987, Reid moved to Texas to coach UTEP’s offensive line. In El Paso, Reid reunited with Koetter, who convinced head coach Bob Stull to interview Reid. During Reid’s two seasons in El Paso, he helped successfully turn around the offensive program under Stull.

Missouri

After a successful 10-3 season in 1988, Stull took the head coaching position with Missouri and brought Reid with him as his new offensive line coach. Unfortunately, the team struggled during Reid’s three seasons. After the 1991 season, Reid jumped to the NFL when the Green Bay Packers hired Holmgren as their new head coach.

Reid was hired under Holmgren to coach the tight ends and assist Tom Lovat with the offensive line. He remained in this capacity through the 1996 season when he began coaching the quarterbacks. In his two seasons coaching Brett Favre, the Packers won Super Bowl XXXI and lost Super Bowl XXXII. Favre also won his third consecutive MVP award in the 1997 season.

Philadelphia Eagles

In 1999,, Reid moved to Philadelphia as the new head coach of the Eagles. During his fourteen years at the helm, the Eagles were one of the most successful franchises in the league. The Eagles had nine playoff appearances, multiple NFC championship games, and a Super Bowl berth. Between 1999 and 2012, only the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts had more playoff berths than the Eagles.

Kansas City Chiefs

After the 2012 season, Reid was fired by the Eagles following three consecutive seasons of worsening records. He was quickly hired by the Kansas City Chiefs as their new head coach.
