I recently compiled a list of the most memorable Andy Reid quotes throughout his career. A few short weeks later and we already have another instant classic to add the collection of Andy Reid quotes and this one pertains to working with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid made a guest appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio yesterday. The conversation turned to Andy being able to lure former Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy to Kansas City as the Chiefs’ newest Quarterbacks Coach and Senior Assistant.

This was a tricky hire given that Matt Nagy had been a head coach since leaving Kansas City as their offensive coordinator in 2017. But the allure of working with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, a generational talent, was evidently enough to convince Matt Nagy to take the step backward in coaching seniority.

During his SiriusXM NFL Radio appearance, Andy Reid described the joy derived from working with Patrick Mahomes and he did it in a way that only Andy Reid can. Here’s the segment (quote below as well)…

Andy Reid Describes Working With Patrick Mahomes In A Way That Only Andy Reid Can

“That’s better than a jelly donut”

Speaker 1: Well he’s got Pat Mahomes!

Speaker 2: It doesn’t get any better than that. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Speaker 1: (Joking) I’ve got this bum quarterback right here, his name’s Mahomes. Do you want to come (work) with us?

Andy Reid: That’s better than a jelly donut, man let me tell you.

Where Does ‘Jelly Donut’ Rank Amongst Andy Reid Quotes?

It’s hard to say where ‘Jelly Donut’ ranks compared to preview quotes from Andy Reid. I’m awfully fond of “If you have a piece of chocolate cake, and you see another dangling in front of you, you’re going to want it. That’s how you feel about the super bowl..it is the ultimate chocolate cake.” And this quote about seeking out the biggest cheeseburger he can find is legendary:

What Do NFL Fans Make Of Andy’s Jelly Donut x Patrick Mahomes Comparison?

I’m not alone in loving pretty much everything that comes out of Andy Reid’s mouth. He needs his own radio show one day after he retires from coaching.

Huh?

I’m not a big jelly donut guy. Give me an apple cider donut, glazed, or cinnamon sugar first. I’m not ranking jelly donuts near the bottom of my list but I’m just trying to wrap my mind around holding jelly donuts in such high esteem that you compare being a quarterbacks coach working with Patrick Mahomes to eating a jelly donut. Maybe a tomahawk ribeye, but a jelly donut?
