Chiefs

What Eric Bieniemy’s return means — and doesn’t — for Chiefs next season: Podcast

The offensive coordinator who was part of the Chiefs through one of their most productive stretches is back in Kansas City. Eric Bieniemy, who had three different jobs in the past three years, has been rehired.

That also means Matt Nagy, who held the job for the past three years, is out. Why the moves? On SportsBeat KC, the sports podcast of The Kansas City Star and KCUR, columnist Sam McDowell and Chiefs insider Pete Sweeney explore the moves and discuss what they mean for KC.

There is plenty for the Chiefs and Bieniemy to address. The Chiefs ranked 20th in total points and 21st in yards last season, the worst performance in the Andy Reid era. Some change was expected, but the Chiefs decided to keep things familiar instead of bringing in someone from the outside.
