For the past five years, Eric Bieniemy has held the title of offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs as the team won two Super Bowls in three appearances. But as former Kansas City Chiefs star LeSean McCoy reveals, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s the one that’s been running the offense.
This week, LeSean McCoy has some shocking comments about Eric Bieniemy, revealing that he wasn’t responsible for the Chiefs’ offensive success.
“What’s his value? What makes him a good offensive coordinator? See, the problem is a lot of these people who go on social media. ‘Oh, he should be the guy for the job’ – they haven’t played there. They’re not in the locker room, McCoy said during an appearance on Speak. “I’ve been in the rooms where he’s coaching, and he has nothing to do with the pass game at all, right? When the plays are designed? That’s Andy Reid!”
McCoy claimed that Bieniemy had “no real responsibility” when it came to running the Chiefs’ offense.
I wish him WELL but Washington don’t let the chiefs SUCCESS or coaching titles fool y’all… the traits or skills you need to be a good coordinator I haven’t seen or WITNESSED it … pic.twitter.com/Qtaes1irnx

“When I’m asked about Eric Bieniemy, what makes him good?” McCoy said. “When we watched the film in practices and we correct – the wide receivers, the running backs, the quarterbacks – he doesn’t talk in there. Andy Reid talks in there. He may say things to the running backs because he’s an ex-running back coach, but he has no real responsibility. Now you go from the Chiefs—where you can hide behind Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid—to Washington where you’ve got to call plays? You’ve got to run the meetings? You gotta run the installs?”
These are certainly concerning comments for the Washington Commanders after they just hired Bieniemy to run their offense.
