(AP) -- Andy Reid has been introduced as the new coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, one week after he was fired following 14 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.


Reid was joined by Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt and several other team officials at a packed news conference at Arrowhead Stadium.


Reid takes over for Romeo Crennel, who joined Reid and five other NFL coaches in losing their jobs last Monday.


Reid took the Eagles to the Super Bowl and won 130 games over his career.

But things had soured the past couple seasons and hewas dismissed after going 4-12.


He takes over a team that went 2-14, matching the worst finish in Chiefs history.

That means the Chiefs pick first in the NFL draft for the first time.
