The NFL coaching cycle has taken many turns, and one big move was the Kansas City Chiefs bringing back Eric Bieniemy to be the offensive coordinator.
Bieneimy was with the Chiefs before as the OC from 2018 to 2022, so he knows Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce very well. On Thursday morning, former Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill posted on X, saying, “EB to the Chiefs, hm.”
His post quickly circulated and stirred up football fans and Chiefs fans.
EB to the chiefs hm

Bieniemy and Hill were together in Kansas City before the wide receiver requested a trade and was sent to the Dolphins.
But his post had fans hoping he would return to Kansas City.

Before Bieniemy was the Chiefs’ OC, he served as the team’s running backs coach from 2013 to 2017. After leaving Kansas City, Bieniemy spent time with the Washington Commanders, UCLA Bruins, and, most recently, the Chicago Bears in 2025.
However, the Chiefs decided to bring back Bieniemy with Matt Nagy interviewing for other jobs, as Andy Reid is hoping to reignite the offense once again.
Hill signed a 3-year, $90 million deal before the 2024 season, but reports surfaced this past season that the Dolphins would look to move on from Hill before the 2026 campaign. He is recovering from a gruesome leg injury that he suffered at the end of September, so his status for Week 1 of next season remains up in the air.
Hill had also posted on X on Wednesday about his former head coach, Mike McDaniel, becoming the Los Angeles Chargers’ new OC, although the Bieniemy post surely raised more eyebrows due to the connection.
