Andy grew up in Los Angeles and went to the John Marshall High School; while in high school he obtained his first job, working as a vendor at Dodger (baseball) Stadium.

After that, he stayed at Brigham College, working as the graduate assistant on the school’s football coaching staff for one year. In 1983 he was appointed as San Francisco State offensive line coach, and worked there until 1986. Following his departure, he spent a year in the same position but at Northern Arizona University, and then switched to Texas-El Paso, from 1987 until 1988. All this certainly increased his net worth, but what was more important, he gained highly-needed knowledge for the NFL level of football.
He spent two more years in college football, working as offensive line coach for Missouri State, before he joined the Green Bay Packers in 1992 as offensive assistant. After two seasons, he was promoted to offensive line coach, and then from 1997 until 1998 worked as quarterbacks coach and assistant head coach, under Mike Holmgren. Following the Packer’s Super Bowl win in 1997 against the New England Patriots, Andy was sought by the Philadelphia Eagles who had finished with the poorest record in the league with three wins and 13 losses.
He accepted the offer and became the head coach of the Eagles. In his first season, Andy and his team won five games, and lost eleven, slightly better than the previous season, however, the Eagles were rebuilding and with new coach, they could only become better. The media and the Philadelphia office were right, and immediately in his second season, Andy led the team to the NFC Divisional game, although they lost to the New York Giants. The Eagles continued to play well, and in the next three seasons were stopped in NFC Championship games, losing to St. Louis Rams in 2001, Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2002, and Carolina Panthers in 2003.
In 2004 they reached the final step, but lost to the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl game.
Then they declined somewhat, and were stopped in the first round of the play-offs, if even reaching the post season.
He left the Eagles in 2012, after they failed to reach the play-offs for the second season in a row, and after that became the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, signing a five year contract, which only increased further his net worth.
In the first season with his new team, Andy finished second in the AFC West with 11 wins and five losses, losing to the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Wild Card Game. The following season, they failed to reach the playoffs, with nine wins and seven losses, then in the next two seasons, Reid led the Chiefs to the AFC Divisional round, but lost both times, firstly to New England Patriots and then Pittsburgh Steelers.
