SteelKing728 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Chad Henne threw in the towel on Sunday night, replacing it with a Bud Light. On the heels of winning Super Bowl 2023 — his second with the Chiefs — the veteran quarterback announced his retirement on Instagram. https://nypost-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/nypost.com/2023/02/13/chiefs-chad-henne-retires-following-super-bowl-2023-victory/amp/?amp_gsa=1&_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQKKAFQArABIIACAw%3D%3D#amp_tf=From %1%24s&aoh=16762866191547&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Fnypost.com%2F2023%2F02%2F13%2Fchiefs-chad-henne-retires-following-super-bowl-2023-victory%2F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicfre2011 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 He was a great veteran presence for Mahomes and provided a much needed spark for us when pressed into short term duty. He was basically a QB coach that had a roster spot, so I wouldn't be surprised if EB moves on (hopefully as a head coach for a team like Arizona), Nagy becomes OC and Henne is hired as the QB coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured he would immediately move into coaching. Staying with KC would be ideal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerNacho Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 missed opportunity to title the thread "Chiefs QB retires after Super Bowl win" or something. Anyway, I wish him the best in retirement. Happy to see he had a lengthy career after his time here. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully for the Chiefs, Nagy isn't the one calling the plays in that scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Chenne become part of the whole Andy Reid "coaching tree". He's clearly got some aptitude for it. There's a reason Andy has kept him around all these years, and it's not his raw, unbridled physical tools at age four-hundred and thirty-seven. Even with Jacksonville...it always felt like he had a much better understanding of what he should do on the field, than he was able to ever actually deliver on. That disconnect between "understanding" what the intent of a play is, and executing it in the moment on the field. The thing that often seems to separate a good QB from a good Coach/Coordinator. But he was always superb as a clipboard holder - and i mean that genuinely. He was always there on the sidelines, helping the other bust QBs try to learn and figure things out. I largely credit him with turning Gabbert into a serviceable backup for a number of years. He also probably taught Bortles that the headsets are not two-way, and he cannot talk to the OC through his helmet on the field. The real question is...does he have the "creativity" to run with it like other Andy Reid disciples have? Or is he going to turn into a guy who just regurgitates old Andy Reid material and can't adapt and adjust? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also need to keep in mind that Nagy parlayed success as an OC for Kansas City into a HC position with the Bears. Not every coach is HC material and that may be the case with Nagy. Reid puts alot of value on coaching relationships and prefers to work with coaches and coordinators that he has experience with. I would have preferred Kafta have been the OC heir apparent, but his star rose quicker than our openings would allow us to keep him. Maybe Henne could be that OC-in-waiting after working as a QB coach for a year or two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with less responsibility, he'd be better at it, but I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 remember seeing him play QB at mich like it was yesterday, now he's retiring as old vet NFL QB. Time is flying 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 No better way to retire than going out on top (Tom Brady should have taken note of this). Congrats to Henne on his second Super Bowl ring! As for his retirement, his career was uninspiring at Miami and Jacksonville until he arrived at Kansas City and helped guide them to Super Bowl victories in LIV and LVII. That being said, despite having those two rings, I'm not sure that the rest of his resume is strong enough for his bid into the Hall of Fame. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
