As rumors swirl that the Kansas City Chiefs could soon lose offensive coordinator Matt Nagy to the Tennessee Titans, Andy Reid has reportedly tabbed his successor in the form of a regular blast from the past.
Taking to social media to inform fans of the team that “all signs are pointing towards,” NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero shared that the Chiefs are in contact with ex-offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy to return to his former role after spending time with the Washington Commanders, UCLA Bruins, and Chicago Bears.
“Reunion: All signs are pointing towards Eric Bieniemy returning to the Chiefs as their offensive coordinator, sources say,” Pelissero wrote. “With Matt Nagy out of contract and in the head coaching mix, Kansas City plans to bring back Bieniemy, a valued member of Andy Reid’s staff from 2013-22.”
Initially playing for Reid as a running back all the way back in 1999 with the Philadelphia Eagles, Bieniemy reunited with his former coach in 2013, serving as a running backs coach from 2013-17 before being elevated to offensive coordinator from 2018-22. From there, Bieniemy was hired as an assistant head coach and offensive coordinator for the Commanders in 2023 before taking the same role at UCLA in 2024. Bieniemy returned to the NFL in 2025, coaching the Bears’ elite running backs unit on the way to the Divisional Round of the 2026 NFL Playoffs.
While only time will tell what the future holds for Nagy, be that a head coaching gig in Tennessee or another offensive coordinatorship elsewhere, the Chiefs appear interested in bringing back a fixture of their Super Bowl rosters in the hopes of getting back to the promised land in 2027.
