Eric Bieniemy is Available Again!
Sources: Eric Bieniemy out after one season as UCLA's offensive coordinator
https://www.yahoo.com/sports/sources...174950381.html Nick Bromberg Eric Bieniemy’s UCLA tenure lasted a season. The Bruins are moving on from Bieniemy, sources told Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger. The former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator and NFL running back joined UCLA’s staff in 2024 as the offensive coordinator and assistant head coach following the hire of Deshaun Foster as the team’s head coach. UCLA went 5-7 in 2024 and was 3-6 in the Big Ten. The Bruins averaged 5.4 yards a play and scored just 18.4 points per game. Only eight teams across the top level of college football averaged fewer points than the Bruins and UCLA scored more than 20 points just twice all season. Bieniemy, 55, interviewed multiple times for NFL head coaching positions while he was the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator. He joined Andy Reid’s staff in 2013 when Reid became the Chiefs’ head coach and was the team’s running backs coach through the 2017 season. He was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2018 as Patrick Mahomes became the team’s starting quarterback. However, Bieniemy never got a head coaching job in the NFL and moved on from the Chiefs after the 2022 season. Five NFL teams had job openings that offseason and he interviewed for just one. Bieniemy became the offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders in 2023, but he spent just one season with the team as the organization went through wholesale changes following the season. Washington’s new ownership group changed the coaching staff and hired Dan Quinn as the team’s head coach with former Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury serving as the offensive coordinator for No. 2 overall draft pick Jayden Daniels. Before coaching for the Chiefs, Bieniemy was the offensive coordinator at his alma mater, Colorado, for two seasons and had served as an assistant coach with the Minnesota Vikings. It’s unclear just where Bieniemy’s next coaching stop will be and it’d have been hard to fathom four years ago that Bieniemy would be leaving his third job in three seasons at the end of 2024 instead of being the head coach of an NFL team. |

Will the media finally stop playing the race card on him not getting an NFL head coaching gig?
Probably not. |

Joe freaking Judge got a job ffs. Dan Campbell was a freaking TE coach and the current head coach's at Cinci and the Vikings had minimal roles at the Rams compared to EB but still got those jobs. He was screwed over. Plain and simple. Meanwhile Pederson and Nagy got jobs. |

People credit Bienemy with Mahomes being successful, but I think it was Mahomes who made Bienemy successful.
Same with Nagy. Awful coach made to look decent because of Mahomes.

Maybe so, but at least Bieniemy instilled discipline in his players and held people to account. Wasn't out there to make friends. Nagy is a clown IMO.

Now, you could be right in that maybe it didn't have much effect, but it sure seems like the Chiefs have been missing something ever since EB left.

It's not like the personnel was great in '22. Top WRs were Smith-Schuster and MVS, with Orlando Brown at LT. Last edited by RaidersOftheCellar; 12-06-2024 at 10:51 AM.. |
