All we know about Eric Bieniemy
Eric, a seasoned coordinator, has not yet been offered a head-coaching position in the NFL. Despite his coaching career beginning in 2000, Bieniemy gained significant recognition during his initial tenure with the Chiefs. The team thrived under his leadership from 2018 to 2022, when he served as their offensive coordinator.

However, after facing rejections for head-coaching roles, Bieniemy joined the Commanders in 2023. He only held the position of offensive coordinator for one year before the new coaching staff decided not to retain him.
Bieniemy dedicated the 2024 season to UCLA prior to becoming the running backs coach for the Chicago Bears in 2025.
Following the conclusion of the 2025 NFL season, the Chiefs decided to part ways with offensive coordinator Matt Nagy and chose to rehire Bieniemy for the position.
This decision was received with enthusiasm by tight end Travis Kelce, who referred to Bieniemy as "one of my favorite coaches of all time, one of my favorite people of all time."
