On Monday, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Chiefs are expected to hire Eric Bieniemy as their offensive coordinator for a second stint. Bieniemy is a familiar face in Kansas City, coaching with the organization for 10 seasons. He will replace Matt Nagy, who is currently pursuing head coaching opportunities.
Beyond that anticipated hire, Reid also made another notable addition to his staff, announcing the hiring of three-time Super Bowl–winning wide receivers coach Chad O’Shea. O’Shea has developed more than 10 different 1,000-yard receivers during his NFL coaching career.
O’Shea served as a longtime member of Kevin Stefanski’s staff and comes over from the Cleveland Browns, where he joined in 2020. However, his first NFL stint came all the way back in 2003, when he worked with the Kansas City Chiefs on Dick Vermeil’s staff as a volunteer assistant special teams coach.
He moved around a bit before landing on Bill Belichick’s staff with the New England Patriots from 2009 to 2018, helping the team secure three Lombardi Trophies.
O’Shea then spent a year with the Miami Dolphins in 2019 before joining the Browns. Now, he’ll reunite with another legendary coach in Reid as he works to help the Chiefs’ offense return to prominence.
During his stint in New England, O’Shea coached several star receivers—including Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Julian Edelman, and Brandin Cooks—to 1,000-yard seasons.
Both Edelman and Welker achieved multiple 1,000-yard seasons under his guidance. During his time in Cleveland, he coached Amari Cooper to two 1,000-yard seasons and also helped Jerry Jeudy reach the milestone as well.
