Bieniemy Returns: Chiefs Aim to Relive Glory Days

The Kansas City Chiefs have welcomed back Eric Bieniemy as their offensive coordinator, a move aimed at recapturing the team's previous offensive prowess. This reunion brings a familiar face to Patrick Mahomes and the offensive unit, with Bieniemy having played a role in the Chiefs' past Super Bowl victories and Mahomes' most successful seasons.

Despite the optimism surrounding the reunion, CBS Sports' Jordan Dajani graded the hire a B-. Dajani highlighted that Bieniemy must navigate the team's current state, acknowledging the aging of key players like Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, and the absence of a deep threat like Tyreek Hill.

Bieniemy will need to work with the current roster, which includes emerging talents such as Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy, rather than relying on past personnel. The hope is that the offense will see improvement compared to the previous season under Matt Nagy.
