Eric Bieniemy has been the offensive coordinator with the Kansas City Chiefs for five years, but it seems his time has finally come to an end as he approaches the OC job for the Washington Commanders.
He’s won two Super Bowl titles in that time, yet his success hasn’t paid off in his attempt to find a head coaching job. Bieniemy may feel that he needs to go somewhere like the Commanders and improve them, hopefully leading to a job at the top of the coaching ladder.

Bieniemy has remained in Washington overnight after Thursday’s interview. He’s due another full day of interviews for the Commanders today regarding his OC vacancy, and it sounds like he could be on track to stick around for the 2023 season as well.
However, it hasn’t gone down well with former Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill on Twitter, he posted a tweet earlier in the week saying, “EB still ain’t got a job it’s crazy to me another great coach stayed asleep”.
EB doesn’t have a job yet, it’s crazy to me, another great coach fell asleep ????

According to a report, Bieniemy has interviewed for at least 12 head coaching vacancies over the past five years. But, despite his good record with Kansas City, and his willingness and commitment to improving his career, he still hasn’t gotten one.
