The Chiefs won their second Super Bowl in fouryears and this could definitely be the start of a new dynasty in the NFL. Kansas City had another extraordinaryseason with a 14-3 record and, during the playoffs, they eliminated theJaguarsand theBengals. Then, Patrick Mahomes had another remarkable comeback ready in the big game at Arizona.
Patrick Mahomes won his secondNFL MVP Awardand, even with an ankle injury, delivered a performance for the ages in theSuper Bowlto beat the Philadelphia Eagles . The Chiefs were down 24-14 at halftime but, as it happened three years ago inSuper Bowl LIVagainst the 49ers ,they erased a double-digit deficit to hoist the Vince Lombardi trophy.
However, in a huge hit for the franchise,Patrick Mahomesand theKansas City Chiefs just lost a key member who was crucial for their success. Check out all the details about this major coaching change.
Eric Bieniemy leaves the Chiefs to sign with the Washington Commanders
As an offensive coordinator with theChiefssince 2018,Eric Bieniemyhas been a key piece for the success of the team. He waspractically the most trusted man by head coachAndy Reidand Bieniemy developed the most powerful offense that the NFL has seen in decades.
Now, after many years searching for a big opportunity thanks to a great run with theChiefs,Eric Bieniemyis ready to make a huge change. The Washington Commanders officially announced they’ve reached and agreement with Bieniemy for him to be an assistant coach and the offensive coordinator for the team.
At the moment, Eric Bieniemy won’t be the head coach of a NFL team. Rather, he wouldassume the offensive coordinator role in Ron Rivera’s staff. Many experts believe he didn’t recieve a chance to lead a franchise, because the play calling with the Chiefs passed inevitably through Andy Reid.
Of course, many people wonder why Eric Bieniemy would leave all the success with the Kansas City Chiefs for the same position in a struggling team like Washington. All the information points out that Bieniemy would get a major increase in his salary as the best coordinator available in the NFL.
If Eric Bieniemy revamps the Washington Commanders’ offense, sooner than later the head coaching offer would come. The main reason would be the total independence in the play calling setting himself apart from Andy Reid’s system. It seems that the 53-year old coach believed the opportunitywon’t come if he stayed with the Kansas City Chiefs.
