The Chicago Bears are indeed hiring Eric Bieniemy, former Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive coordinator, as their new running backs coach. This move brings a wealth of experience to the Bears’ coaching staff, considering Bieniemy’s impressive tenure with the Chiefs, which included two Super Bowl wins and three AFC titles.¹ ²
Bieniemy’s coaching career spans over a decade, with notable stops at the Minnesota Vikings, UCLA, and Washington Commanders. His experience as a running backs coach will undoubtedly benefit the Bears, particularly with players like D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson on the roster.³
It’s worth noting that Bieniemy’s hiring has generated some discussion about his past roles and responsibilities, particularly regarding play-calling duties during his time with the Chiefs. Nevertheless, his addition to the Bears’ coaching staff is seen as a strategic move to leverage his expertise and contribute to the team’s success.
