Chiefs Bring Back Eric Bieniemy as Offensive Coordinator After 6–11 Slide

Kansas City seeks an offensive reset with a trusted play-caller after Mahomes’ injury-shortened year.

Overview

  • The Chiefs officially announced Friday that Eric Bieniemy has returned as offensive coordinator, confirming days of reports about the reunion.
  • Kansas City made Matt Nagy’s exit public with a farewell message as his contract expired, and he continues to pursue opportunities elsewhere.
  • Patrick Mahomes thanked Nagy in a social media post and signaled support for the staff changes, while Travis Kelce praised Bieniemy as one of his favorite coaches.
  • Mahomes, who tore his ACL and LCL on December 14 and had surgery the next day, says he is hitting rehab checkpoints with a goal of being ready for Week 1 and was named the team’s Derrick Thomas MVP on Saturday.
  • The offense regroups after a down year with pending decisions on Travis Kelce and multiple free agents, as outside speculation links a possible Tyreek Hill reunion without any confirmed movement.
