Eric Bieniemy

Kansas City Chiefs Offensive Coordinator.

Quick Facts

Role: Offensive Coordinator
Team: Kansas City Chiefs (KC)
Current holder: Eric Bieniemy (returning to Kansas City after stints in Washington and as Bears RBs coach)
Coaching tree: Reid / West Coast (Andy Reid branch); see Coaching Trees

Background

Was Kansas City's OC from 2018-2022, the four-year peak of the Mahomes/Reid offense (three Super Bowl trips, two wins). Left for Washington as OC in 2023, then went to Chicago as running backs coach in 2025. Rehired by Andy Reid to replace Matt Nagy (who went to Giants).

Scheme and Tendencies

West Coast/Reid-style passing concepts with heavy pre-snap motion and condensed formations. Familiarity with Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the Chiefs' veteran core should make for a quick transition.
