Chicago Bears Hire Bieniemy as RB Coach

Eric Bieniemy, a two-time Super Bowl champion and former offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs, has been hired by the Chicago Bears as their new running backs coach. Bieniemy's move follows a stint as the offensive coordinator and assistant head coach at UCLA, from which he was dismissed after a challenging season. His transition to the Bears is widely viewed as a strategic addition to bolster their coaching staff under new head coach Ben Johnson, as the team seeks to improve its offensive performance. Bieniemy's extensive experience in the NFL includes successful tenures with the Chiefs and a brief period with the Washington Commanders. Despite his new role being perceived as a step down for someone of his qualifications, it presents an opportunity for him to contribute to the Bears' rebuilding efforts. The Bears, who finished last in their division last year, are aiming for significant improvements in their offense, particularly in their run game.
