Andy Reid defends Eric Bieniemy after LeSean McCoy criticism

Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid has the utmost confidence in offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. Reid came to Bieniemy's defense Friday after former Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy ripped Bieniemy's coaching style.

McCoy criticized Bieniemy while appearing on the "I Am Athlete" podcast. McCoy said Bieniemy has trouble relating to players. McCoy theorized that was the reason Bieniemy is not a head coach in the NFL.

Reid took issue with those comments, saying Bieniemy provides honest feedback, and that was something McCoy didn't want to hear at that point in his career, according to Pro Football Talk.
