"I think it's great," he said Wednesday during the "New Heights" podcast he co-hosts with Jason Kelce, his brother. "I can't wait to see him back in the building. He's one of my favorite coaches of all time. I've had so many unbelievable growing moments under him as a player. I just love the guy, and it's going to be awesome to see him back in the building and seeing him wear the Chiefs' logo."
"Bieniemy was the lone interview request the Chiefs made Monday, the first day Reid could begin interviewing candidates in person. In his previous five seasons as the Chiefs' coordinator, Bieniemy helped the unit finish no lower than sixth in points per game. In 2022, Bieniemy played a major role in Mahomes winning league MVP and the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl."
The Kansas City Chiefs hired Eric Bieniemy on a multiyear deal to return as offensive coordinator, reuniting him with head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Matt Nagy was not expected to return after his contract expired following a 6-11 season that missed the playoffs. Mahomes reacted to the reunion on Instagram, and Travis Kelce praised Bieniemy's return. Bieniemy's previous five seasons as coordinator produced a unit that finished no lower than sixth in points per game and he helped Mahomes win MVP and the Chiefs win the Super Bowl in 2022. One priority will be improving development of skill-position players such as receivers Rashee Rice and Xavier.
