The Kansas City Chiefs could be looking to a familiar figure for a key post on Andy Reid’s coaching staff.
The Chiefs on Monday requested to interview Chicago Bears running backs coach Eric Bieniemy for their offensive coordinator vacancy, according to multiple reports.
Matt Nagy’s contract expired at the end of the 2025 season, and he has interviewed with several teams for their head-coaching openings. Nagy had been set to have a second interview with the Tennessee Titans on Monday, per multiple reports.
The Chiefs are coming off their lone losing season in Reid’s 13-year tenure after finishing 6-11, with the offense ranking 21st in scoring and 20th in total yards.
Bieniemy, 56, served as an assistant on Reid’s staff from 2013-22. He was the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator for the final five years of his tenure, during which the team won two Super Bowl titles. Kansas City also led the league in total offense three times and ranked first in scoring twice.
Despite his work with two-time NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes and Co., Bieniemy received limited interest for head-coaching jobs. With Reid retaining play-calling duties, Bieniemy moved on after the 2022 season and became the Washington Commanders’ offensive coordinator and assistant head coach. He remained with the team for just one year before being fired.
Bieniemy then was UCLA’s offensive coordinator for a year before returning to the NFL with the Bears.
