Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-Imagn Images The Kansas City Chiefs are planning to hire Chicago Bears running back coach Eric Bieniemy in a reunion as their offensive coordinator on Monday, NFL Network reported.
Bieniemy coached in Kansas City from 2013 to 2022, spending his first five years as a running backs coach. He was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2018, and the Chiefs averaged 30.1 points per game over his five-year tenure. Bieniemy won Super Bowls LIV and LVII alongside the team.
In 2023, Bieniemy left Kansas City to join Ron Rivera's Washington Commanders staff as its offensive coordinator. Bieniemy's unit in Washington achieved the 25th-ranked scoring offense with 19.4. After one season, Bieniemy was relieved of his duties after current Commanders head coach Dan Quinn cleaned house.
Bieniemy took one-year stints as an offensive coordinator at UCLA and running backs coach of the Chicago Bears. After the Bears' season ended on Sunday, the Chiefs planned to have him in for an interview and hire him on Monday, per the report.
