Reid obviously realized to get over the hump he needed to surround himself with more talent and with full control in KC he did exactly that. As good as Mahomes is he's also in the best situation in the NFL by a longshot as Reid could make a lot of average/good NFL QB's look great.
Reid also had pretty much full control of the roster for his last few years in Philly and was kind of a disaster. I think Syl has it right in that he learned from his mistakes and possibly also some humility.

I think Reid has done great in KC and I'm happy he won a Super Bowl. I'm just more pointing out that some of the narratives surrounding the guy are a bit revisionist.
