Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy withdrew his name from consideration for the head coach vacancy at Colorado on Thursday, according to 9News' Mike Klis.
Bieniemy was a star running back at Colorado from 1987-90. He tallied 41 rushing touchdowns in four seasons with the Buffaloes, rushing for 1,628 yards in his senior season. Bieniemy is Colorado's all-time leader in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns.
But the ties to Boulder were ultimately not enough to lure Bieniemy away from the Chiefs. Bieniemy has been Kansas City's offensive coordinator for each of the last two seasons, and he's worked with the Chiefs since 2013.
