Commanders finalizing deal for Eric Bieniemy to become offensive coordinator -
Eric Bieniemy is finalizing a deal to become Washington’s new offensive coordinator, sources said. The pending hire ends a process that spanned interviews with eight candidates and took longer than a month. But the Commanders waited for Bieniemy, a two-time Super Bowl champion who has spent the last five seasons as the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive coordinator.
Though Bieniemy wasn’t Kansas City’s primary play-caller, Reid and players have long said that he deserves an opportunity to become a head coach. They have credited him for his offensive insight, which just helped the Chiefs win another championship. Joining the Commanders, though, comes with risk. Next season figures to be a pivotal campaign for Rivera, who has missed the playoffs in back-to-back seasons and hasn’t finished a season above .500 since arriving in 2020. The Commanders also face uncertainty as owner Dan Snyder explores a sale of the team — and Rivera acknowledged last week that prospective coordinator candidates had questions about how the situation might affect their future.
