Bieniemy Returns: Reid Keeps Play-Calling Control

Eric Bieniemy has rejoined the Kansas City Chiefs as offensive coordinator, sparking internal optimism. However, head coach Andy Reid has confirmed that he will continue to exclusively call the plays for the team's offense. This decision means that Bieniemy's role, while significant, will not include primary play-calling duties, a goal he had sought to develop.

Reid's approach emphasizes a collaborative coaching environment where input from all staff members is highly valued. This system, which has been in place for decades and predates Bieniemy's current tenure, allows for shared decision-making on game plans and situational plays. Bieniemy's previous contributions, particularly his expertise in the running game, were instrumental to the Chiefs' past successes.

While Bieniemy brings three seasons of added experience from his time away, including a stint with Washington, the fundamental structure of the Chiefs' offense remains unchanged. Reid's consistent strategy has yielded sustained success, and Bieniemy's return signifies his continued role as a key lieutenant supporting Reid's established offensive command.
