In January 2026, the Kansas City Chiefs are preparing to rehire Eric Bieniemy as their offensive coordinator, a role he previously held from 2018 to 2022. Bieniemy has had a varied coaching journey, including a stint with the Washington Commanders in 2023, followed by a year at UCLA, after which he joined the Chicago Bears as their running backs coach. His success with the Chiefs during his first tenure contributed to their two Super Bowl titles, and now, after a disappointing performance in the 2025 season, the Chiefs are looking to revitalize their offense under his guidance. Many players, including Travis Kelce, have expressed excitement at Bieniemy's potential return, indicating his deep-rooted positive influence on the team's past success. With Matt Nagy’s contract ending, it’s an opportune moment for the Chiefs to shift back to a familiar face who knows their systems well.
