Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy has admitted that former head coach Andy Reid is still loved by the players at the franchise.

McCoy said that it will be good to see Reid again when the Eagles meet the coach's new side the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2013 season.

"We all love Coach Reid to death," NFL.com quotes McCoy as saying. "He means a lot to me and a lot of other players.

"We'll give each other a big hug, and then once the game starts, I know how Coach Reid is. He's so focused. All in all, we always know it's always love and mutual respect between each other, but we have a job to do."

Chip Kelly is the Eagles' new head coach.
