Chiefs Reportedly Eyeing Eric Bieniemy for Offensive Coordinator Role
The Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly looking to bring back a familiar face to their coaching staff. Reports indicate that they have requested permission to interview Eric Bieniemy, who previously served as the team's offensive coordinator from 2018 to 2022. The Chiefs are considering Bieniemy for the offensive coordinator role once again.
Matt Nagy, who closed out the 2025 season as the Chiefs' offensive coordinator, is also in the mix for a head coaching job with the Tennessee Titans. With Nagy's contract expiring, the Chiefs are exploring their options for the offensive coordinator position, including potentially reuniting with Bieniemy.
During his time with the Chiefs, Bieniemy garnered interest for head coaching positions but ultimately took on the role of offensive coordinator for the Commanders. However, after a challenging season with a 4-13 record, Bieniemy and head coach Ron Rivera were let go. Bieniemy then spent a year at UCLA before joining the Bears' coaching staff for the 2025 season.
The Chiefs' interest in interviewing Bieniemy suggests a potential reunion with the former offensive coordinator. As the team evaluates its coaching staff for the upcoming season, Bieniemy's experience and familiarity with the organization could make him a strong candidate for the role. Stay tuned for updates on the Chiefs' coaching decisions as they prepare for the next NFL season.
