It’s bizarre that Eric Bieniemy still hasn’t earned a head coaching job. The Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator has put up ridiculous numbers in an offense fueled by All-Pro talents at quarterback (Patrick Mahomes II), tight end (Travis Kelce), and wide receiver (Tyreek Hill), guiding the Chiefs to multiple Super Bowl appearances the last few years. And it hasn’t been enough to get him his own team to run.
Bieniemy has faced a lot of questions about how instrumental he’s been in Kansas City’s success. How often is he actually calling plays? How many of those plays are of his own design? What role has he played in scouting and developing all of that star power? Is all of this still attributed to Andy Reid? Over and over again we’ve seen Bieniemy’s credentials scrutinized given the talent around him and who his boss is.
