Overview

  • NFL Network and other outlets report the Chiefs are finalizing a deal to bring Eric Bieniemy back to run the offense.
  • The hire would replace Matt Nagy, whose contract expired as he pursues head‑coaching opportunities, with Tennessee among the reported suitors.
  • Bieniemy previously coordinated Kansas City from 2018–22, a span that produced two Super Bowl titles and elite offensive rankings.
  • He spent 2025 as the Bears’ running backs coach, helping deliver a top‑three rushing attack featuring D’Andre Swift and rookie Kyle Monangai.
  • Kansas City’s reshuffle follows a 6–11 season; the team moved on from WR coach Connor Embree and RB coach Todd Pinkston, and is adding Chad O’Shea as wide receivers coach, per reports.
