Alex Smith Returns to Kansas City as Assistant Quarterback Coach
Kansas City, MO — The story comes full circle.
Former Pro Bowl quarterback Alex Smith is officially returning to the Kansas City Chiefs —
this time as Assistant Quarterback Coach —
reuniting with Andy Reid, the man who once revived his career.
A Full-Circle Moment
Nearly a decade ago, Reid traded for Smith, turning the struggling QB into a steady leader who helped rebuild the Chiefs into a winning franchise.
Now, coach and protégé are back together at Arrowhead Stadium, in what feels like a Hollywood ending.
Why It Matters
Smith brings experience from 170 NFL starts, legendary composure,
and the courage that defined his comeback from a near-fatal leg injury.
“To return to Kansas City, to learn from him again,
and to help this team continue its pursuit of greatness — it’s an honor I don’t take lightly,” Smith said.
A Reunion of Legacy and Loyalty
For Reid, Smith’s hiring is more than nostalgia — it’s mentorship reborn.
A bridge between eras, Smith now helps shape the future of Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ next generation.
