Chiefs Rehire Eric Bieniemy as Offensive Coordinator on Multiyear Deal

The hire reflects a push to restore Kansas City's offensive edge.

Overview

  • Kansas City reached agreement to bring Eric Bieniemy back as offensive coordinator on a multiyear contract, according to NFL Media and ESPN.
  • The move follows the expiration of Matt Nagy’s contract and came two days after the Chiefs requested interview permission from the Bears, where Bieniemy coached running backs in 2025.
  • Bieniemy previously served as Kansas City’s offensive coordinator from 2018 to 2022 after five seasons as the team’s running backs coach, helping win two Super Bowls.
  • Travis Kelce praised Bieniemy on the New Heights podcast and Patrick Mahomes posted an approving photo on Instagram as players publicly welcomed the reunion.
  • Coverage casts the decision as an effort to revive an offense that ranked 20th in yards and 21st in scoring in 2025 while Mahomes continues rehabilitation from a torn ACL.
