UCLA is hiring former Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy as the school’s next offensive coordinator, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Pete Thamel. Bieniemy will also receive an associate head coach title as part of his new role with the school.
The 54-year-old Bieniemy joins the staff of new head coach DeShaun Foster, who was promoted from his role as an assistant on Chip Kelly’s staff earlier this month. It will be a two-year deal for the former Washington offensive coordinator.
This is the second time Bieniemy has coached at UCLA, having previously been a running backs coach with the school from 2003-’05 under coach Karl Dorrell.
