New in-game coaches interviews will have tempered expectations under Andy Reid.

In late February, NBC's Pro Football Talk reported on the NFL's plans for new rules regarding coaches' in-game media access.

Locker rooms will only be accessible to networks broadcasting games, and coaches will be interviewed by sideline reporters during games.

Andy Reid, the longtime Chiefs coach, announced that he will fulfill his in-game media requirements, starting on Sept. 5 when Kansas City hosts the Baltimore Ravens. However, he cautioned viewers about their expectations.

"Reid stated on Friday that he is not skilled at interviews during games and will not be flashy with them. He admitted that he is unsure about his performance, but he has to do it. As an NFL team player, he will give it a try, but don't expect much."

In the 2024 season, Reid will have 258 wins, placing him fourth on the NFL's all-time wins list.

The NFL Sunday Ticket trial transcript, which spans over 2,000 pages, contains information about in-game interviews. Cathy Yancy, the NFL's vice president of broadcasting rights, testified that coaches will be required to submit to an interview while games are in progress in 2024.

PFT reported that Yancy announced a new policy this year, requiring all clubs to provide a live head coach interview during the game.

"For all teams, a head coach must be provided, with one coach for each half. This applies to all TV partners."

The NFL spokesperson later explained that, upon request from the broadcasting network, both teams must provide either their head coach or an offensive or defensive coordinator for an on-screen interview during quarter breaks or at halftime.

Rob Hyland, NBC Coordinating Producer, provided further information on what viewers can anticipate during a game.

"This year, we will have the opportunity to speak to a home team player in full uniform either at the end of warmups or just after runouts. Additionally, all network partners will have locker room access after the field clears, with 20 seconds of video per team."

If the Chiefs win the Super Bowl again, they will become the first team in NFL history to achieve three consecutive titles.
