Chiefs eye reunion with Bears assistant Eric Bieniemy

Eric Bieniemy’s stay in Chicago could be a short one — the Chiefs are eyeing a reunion with the Bears running backs coach.

The Chiefs requested an interview with him for their offensive coordinator position, per multiple reports Monday morning. There’s not much the Chiefs need to find out about Bieniemy — head coach Andy Reid employed him from 2013-17 as running backs coach and 2018-22 as offensive coordinator. Bieniemy would take the place of Matt Nagy, whose contract is up and who could land a head coaching job during this cycle.

In Kansas City, the head coach — and not the offensive coordinator — calls the plays.
