NBC Sports general

Key Points:

  • The Kansas City Chiefs are expected to rehire Eric Bieniemy as their offensive coordinator, a move that signals continuity rather than a major overhaul.
  • Bieniemy previously served as the Chiefs' offensive coordinator from 2018 to 2022 before leaving to become the offensive play-caller for the Washington Commanders in 2023.
  • After his one-season tenure in Washington, Bieniemy worked at UCLA in 2024 and then joined the Chicago Bears as their running backs coach.
  • Matt Nagy took over as the Chiefs' offensive coordinator following Bieniemy’s departure but has an expiring contract and is a finalist for the Tennessee Titans' head coaching position.
