Eric Bieniemy Departs UCLA After Struggling Season as Offensive Coordinator

The former Chiefs OC, who led UCLA's offense to one of the worst performances in college football, plans to return to the NFL in 2025.

Eric Bieniemy and UCLA parted ways after one season, with the Bruins ranking 126th out of 134 FBS teams in scoring offense.
Bieniemy's agent described the departure as a mutual decision, though reports indicate it followed a disappointing 5-7 season and offensive struggles.
UCLA's offense faced significant challenges, including a poor rushing attack, player regression, and difficulty adapting to Bieniemy's schemes.
Bieniemy, a two-time Super Bowl-winning offensive coordinator with the Kansas City Chiefs, plans to pursue NFL coaching opportunities in 2025.
Speculation has surfaced about a potential return to the Kansas City Chiefs in some capacity, though no formal discussions have been reported.
