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.

Myth. Neither one of them have that much effect. This team is driven by Mahomes and Reid.

This is correct.

I wonder if Bieniemy could kick TheGuardian's ass. I reckon he could.

Doubt. And I doubt EB could be brought on as any type of subordinate to Nagy. He seems like he would not play very well with others in that capacity.

Naw, EB Rode asses. Nagy kisses them... All one has to do is watch one game to see that.

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.

Myth. Provide evidence.

People think because they could see EB jumping up and down on the sidelines getting mad that he was some kind of disciplinarian. And because Nagy doesn't do that, he's soft.

It's pure fantasy.

Everywhere he's gone, complaints from players and other coaches have followed.

The guy isn't a disciplinarian, he's just an asshole.

What if someone comes out with 6 minute abs then you're in trouble?

Nooooooooo.

Same with Nagy. Awful coach made to look decent because of Mahomes.

I just think he brought a little more accountability to the players. But some players don’t like that.

But what proof do you have of that?

The guy is generally despised in the game of football. Not just the NFL but college too.

If he was some great motivator, you'd see it manifest somewhere - anywhere - outside of KC. It simply hasn't happened.

Source: I met him one time in the bathroom at the Best Buy in Overland Park. I missed the trash can with my paper towel. Wasn’t gonna pick it up, but he coached me up to pick that bad boy up off the floor, and give it another shot. Missed that one too, but in that moment I could tell what he was made of.
