The Kansas City Chiefs may be getting the band back together.

With offensive coordinator Matt Nagy on an expiring contract and reportedly a finalist to be the Tennessee Titans’ next head coach, Kansas City has reportedly requested an interview with its former OC Eric Bieniemy, now the Chicago Bears’ running backs coach.

Bieniemy, 56, was the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator from 2018-22 after serving as the team’s running backs coach from 2013-17. His first season as OC was Patrick Mahomes’ first season as starting quarterback, and he helped lead Kansas City to Super Bowl championships in his second season (2019) and final season (2022) in the role.

Bieniemy, who received head coach interviews but wasn’t hired, left to become the assistant head coach and offensive coordinator of the Washington Commanders in 2023 — which afforded him play-calling opportunities that Kansas City did not under head coach Andy Reid.

He was UCLA’s assistant head coach/offensive coordinator in 2024 before returning to the NFL this past season with Chicago.

Kansas City’s 10-year playoff streak was snapped this season as the Chiefs (6-11) had their first losing season since 2012, the year before Reid was hired.
