After days ironing out the details, the Washington Commanders at long last announced Eric Bieniemy as their new assistant head coach and offensive coordinator Saturday.
Multiple outlets have reported Bieniemy has signed a multi-year deal with the Commanders.
Bieniemy has served as the offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs since 2018, winning two Super Bowls in four seasons, most recently including a 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII last Sunday.
Bieniemy enters his 25th NFL season and his first with Washington after spending the past 10 seasons in Kansas City, now with the chance to step out of the great Andy Reid's shadow and establish his own mark as an offensive play-caller. He previously served as the Chiefs running backs coach from 2013 to 2017.
The Chiefs led the NFL in total yards per game (413.6), passing yards (5,062), scrimmage touchdowns (59) and total points per game (29.2) during the 2022 season.
Bieniemy won a national championship as the star running back for the Colorado Buffaloes in 1990 and was inducted into the school's Hall of Fame in 2010. He went on to become a second-round draft pick (39th overall) of the San Diego Chargers in 1991 and had a nine-year pro career with San Diego (1991-94), Cincinnati (1995-98) and Philly (1999), rushing for 1,589 yards and 11 touchdowns while catching 146 passes for 1,223 yards. He played under Reid during his final pro season.
