Eric Bieniemy, the former offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders, is set to join the Chicago Bears as their new running backs coach. This move marks Bieniemy’s return to the NFL after spending time away from the league. Sources familiar with the situation confirmed that he will work under new Bears head coach Ben Johnson following John Fox’s departure as the team’s previous running backs coach. The Bears are looking to revitalize their running game, which has underperformed in previous seasons. Bieniemy, known for his expertise in offensive strategies and player development, will be tasked with enhancing the skills of the Bears’ running backs. He stated, ‘I am excited about this new opportunity and look forward to working with the talent here at the Bears. My goal is to help these players develop into the best versions of themselves.’ This hiring also demonstrates the Bears’ commitment to building a competent offensive unit after finishing with a disappointing record last season. Bieniemy is expected to lead a running back group that includes young talents and veterans, aiming to improve their performance as the team heads into the upcoming season.
