Overview
- The Chiefs rehired Eric Bieniemy this offseason and he is serving as the team’s offensive coordinator during OTAs, speaking to reporters about his return and growth as a coach.
- Quarterback Patrick Mahomes praised Bieniemy for bringing energy and accountability, saying Bieniemy’s first meeting back left him fired up to play.
- Tight end Travis Kelce credited Bieniemy with restoring a tougher, more disciplined practice culture that demands readiness from every player.
- Bieniemy says stops in Washington, at UCLA and with the Chicago Bears since 2023 helped him learn new approaches and reset after setbacks, including work that contributed to the Bears’ strong rushing finish in 2025.
- Analysts and team coverage frame the hire as a corrective move to revive a struggling Chiefs offense, but measurable improvement will depend on performance in the preseason and regular season.
