Despite ultimately falling short of their three-peat dreams last season, the Kansas City Chiefs trusted the process and refused to make any sweeping changes to their coaching staff and the roster. Sure, there have been some minor changes in Andy Reid's staff and a few additions to the roster, but the Chiefs are betting on continuity to get back to the Super Bowl next season.
Unfortunately, the Chiefs announced another change on Wednesday. Through their official social media account, the team posted a message announcing the retirement of assistant special teams coach Andy Hill.
Thank you for helping us make our special teams extra special, Coach Hill. Congratulations on a well-earned retirement! pic.twitter.com/YuLkytnbwh

Chiefs Assistant Special Teams Coach Andy Hill Retires
Hill joined the staff in Kansas City in 2020, helping the team make four Super Bowl appearances and lifting the Lombardi Trophy twice. The 63-year-old has been working under Dave Toub throughout his Chiefs tenure, contributing to one of the best special team units in the league.
Before joining the Chiefs, Hill had a highly successful career in Missouri, getting inducted into the state's Sports Hall of Fame in 2014. Considered one of the best recruiters in the country, Hill was with the Tigers from 1996 to 2019, working with various titles, including offensive coordinator, WR coach, QB coach, and, most recently, associate head coach.
In their message, the Chiefs thanked Hill for making the special teams "extra special" and congratulated him on "a well-earned retirement". Now, the organization needs to find a way to replace Hill, and at this stage of the offseason, it will likely be done internally. The continuity of the coaching staff will certainly make the transition easier for the Chiefs, but losing a highly experienced, competent coach this close to the season can not be too easy for Reid or Toub.
