Chiefs Andy Reid calls reports of rift with Eric Bieniemy fabricated surprised Bieniemy not a head coach

Andy Reid worked fast to shut down any indication there was a rift between him and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy this past season, as one report indicated in the weeks following the ' AFC Championship Game lo s to the ."This whole thing with Eric Bieniemy that's been written has gotten fabricated," Reid said at the NFL Scouting Combine Tuesday. "We were on vacation and over the two weeks I came back and all of sudden it was I didn't like Eric and Eric didn't like me and Pat (Patrick) Mahomes and everybody else. That's not the case."We all get along good and I'm glad he's back with us and rolling. I thought he'd potentially get a head coaching job Wilson Chandler Jersey which I would've been happy with too, but that's not how it worked out. Anyway, I just Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Jersey wanted to put that to rest."The Chiefs brought back Bieniemy this season, as he was a free agent offensive coordinator who did not get a head coaching job in this hiring cycle -- again. Bieniemy not receiving a head coaching job is still surprising to Reid, especially since Bieniemy has been vital toward the development of ."I mean it does (surprise me)," Reid said. "I've said continuously and I think he's a heck of a football coach."

The Chiefs have scored the most points per game in the (30.3) since Bieniemy became the offensive coordinator in 2018, along with the most yards per game (404.2). Kansas City also has the best record in the NFL during Bieniemy's run, going 50-15 with four conference championship Jeff Green Jersey game appearances (two Super Bowl appearances) and a title in the 2019 season. Mahomes also has the most pa sing yards, pa sing touchdowns, and the second-highest pa ser rating since the start of the 2018 season -- all with Bieniemy as the offensive coordinator.Bieniemy had an opportunity to land another head coaching job in 2022, but was pa sed over for the and jobs (Denver went to Nathaniel Hackett and New Orleans went to Dennis Allen). Being part of the Andy Reid coaching tree hasn't helped Bieniemy become an NFL head coach, even though plenty of Reid's former a sistants have been succe sful in the league. Bieniemy has never been a head coach at any level and has been on Reid's staff since Caris LeVert Jersey Reid was hired by Kansas City in 2013, with Bieniemy first being a running backs coach before his promotion to offensive coordinator in 2018.One of Reid's former a sistants made his way back to Kansas City this offseason, as Matt Nagy was hired as quarterbacks coach to replace the departed -- who was hired as the ' offensive coordinator. Getting Nagy back in the fold was a home run hire for Reid. "I thought it was important that continuity that we've had between Eric (Bieniemy), the quarterback coach, the offensive staff so I thought that was important," Reid said. "Matt was the logical answer James Harden Jersey to that if he wanted to do that. I didn't know where he'd be at after being a head coach, but he was fired up to do it and Eric was fired up, so I was like 'Let's go.' We'll roll it in there and we'll take it from there."
