Reid was named AFC Coach of the Year at the annual 101 Awards.
The annual event, begun by the late Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt in 1969, continues to be the longest active awards program that’s tied strictly to the NFL.
It’s the fourth time Reid has received the honor from the Committee of 101.
However, he has only been named AP NFL Coach of the Year once.
That award will be given out during the NFL Honors just a few days before Super Bowl 59.
The winners of 101 Awards categories were announced on Good Morning Football on Wednesday.
During an appearance on the morning show, Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt handed his flowers to Reid for the work he’s done.
“We’re so excited for Andy,” Hunt said. “I think there’s an argument to be made that he could really win the award every year.
“He’s had an amazing year.
“Fiften regular-season wins, which is a franchise record.
“We’ve dealt with a lot of adversity throughout the year – he’s done an incredible job.
“We’re so lucky to have him in Kansas City, and I’m so happy that Andy is getting recognized in this way this morning.”
Reid recorded his 300th overall victory of his career in Saturday’s Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans last weekend.

He will be a sure-fire Hall of Famer in the future and only trails Don Shula (347), Bill Belichick (333), and George Halas (324) in wins as an NFL head coach.
Reid has led the Chiefs to seven straight AFC Championship games and three Super Bowl victories in the last five campaigns.
This season, he led the Chiefs through a challenging season in which numerous key starters missed significant time due to injuries.
Reid also navigated his team through an 11-day span in which they played three games – winning each of them.
In the end, the Chiefs secured the No. 1 seed with a 15-2 record and home-field advantage.
They will take on the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game this Sunday and look to appear in yet another Super Bowl.
Reid and company are eyeing the NFL’s first-ever three-peat.
