The Kansas City Chiefs may receive a significant boost in their ranks. Following Kliff Kingsbury’s appointment as the offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders, Eric Bieniemy finds himself without a job. This development has sparked speculation about a potential reunion with Andy Reid, and the coach’s recent statement has only intensified these rumors. As noted by Pete Sweeney, Reid confirmed that Bieniemy addressed the offensive players prior to the AFC Championship.
Opinions on Bieniemy’s potential return to Kansas City have been overwhelmingly positive. Fans and analysts alike believe that he would be an improvement over Matt Nagy, who replaced him. The Chiefs’ offensive performance has been lackluster under Nagy, a result that does not come as a surprise. In contrast, Bieniemy is widely regarded as one of the most brilliant offensive minds in the game and played a crucial role in the Chiefs’ dynasty. Although Reid was primarily responsible for calling the plays, the team’s success would not have been possible without Bieniemy’s contributions.
Considering all these factors, it would be wise for the Chiefs to bring Bieniemy back in some capacity before the season’s most significant game. Not only would he provide a tactical and creative upgrade over Nagy, but his presence would also serve as a major source of motivation for the players.
