A couple weeks after Eric Bieniemy left the Chiefs to take the Commanders offensive coordinator role, Kansas City head coach Andy Reid shared his best wishes to his former assistant.
Bieniemy spent five seasons as the Chiefs’ OC, helping lead the team to three Super Bowl appearances and two titles, including a championship victory this past season.
“I’m so happy for EB to have a chance to put his name on an offense,” Reid said, via Pro Football Talk. “This is his now. He’s working for Ron Rivera, who’s a dear friend, and more of a defensive head coach than offensive head coach, so this allows EB to do his thing, and I’m happy for him. I’m wishing him luck with that. I’m also wishing him luck going forward. We were trying to get him to become a head coach, it didn’t work out, but it’s not over yet. I think he’s going to do a heck of a job.”
