In the hours following the Chiefs’ announcement Tuesday that he would be promoted to offensive coordinator, Eric Bieniemy has been flooded — actually, the word he used was “bombarded” — with calls and texts of congratulations.
“I really haven’t had an opportunity to talk to everyone,” Bieniemy said with a laugh.
But make no mistake, for all the love the 48-year old has received following his promotion from running backs coach to leader of the Chiefs’ offense, no one is more excited about the move than Bieniemy, who has been dreaming of such an opportunity for nearly 18 years.
