According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, former Chiefs and Commanders OC Eric Bieniemy is looking to return to the NFL in 2025 after parting ways with UCLA.
Bieniemy, 55, played 10 seasons in the NFL for the Chargers, Bengals, and Eagles before retiring in 1999. His NFL coaching career began in 2006 when he took over as the Vikings’ RBs coach.
The Chiefs hired him for the same position in 2013 and he was later promoted to offensive coordinator in 2018. Kansas City signed Bieniemy to an extension in 2021. His contract was up again when he decided to leave to take the offensive coordinator job with the Commanders.
Bieniemy parted ways with the Commanders after the 2023 season and he caught on with UCLA as their associate head coach/offensive coordinator.
In 2023, the Commanders’ offense ranked No. 24 in total yards, No. 25 in total points, No. 27 in rushing yards and No. 18 in passing yards.
