Patrick Mahomes is currently on top of the world right now. Overall, the Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champions for the second time in four seasons. Consequently, Mahomes is being looked at on the same level as legendary quarterbacks like Peyton Manning and Joe Montana. He still has a lot of work to do before he gets to Tom Brady, however, he is most definitely on the right track. Heading into next year, the Chiefs are the favorites, and with Mahomes at the helm, it is impossible to deny their strength.
Although, the Chiefs will now have to go into next season with a new Offensive Coordinator. Eric Bieniemy has been passed up for numerous head coaching jobs, and some believe it is because of Andy Reid. As a result, Bieniemy decided to leave the Chiefs to pursue the Offensive Coordinator role in Washington. Subsequently, Bieniemy got to face the media yesterday, where he was asked all sorts of questions. For instance, he was asked about LeSean McCoy who had some bad things to say about the OC.
Patrick Mahomes Speaks
There should be no questions on how great of a man/coach Coach Bienemy is. His leadership has a direct impact on the player/person i am today! 10+ years learning under one of the greatest coaches of all time.. and i cannot wait for him to continue to prove doubters wrong!

Bieniemy handled the question with class and showcased how he plans to take the high road on these matters. Patrick Mahomes was impressed with Bieniemy’s response and took to Twitter to demonstrate just how great his former OC truly is. “There should be no questions on how great of a man/coach Coach Bienemy is,” Mahomes wrote. “His leadership has a direct impact on the player/person i am today! 10+ years learning under one of the greatest coaches of all time.. and i cannot wait for him to continue to prove doubters wrong!” With Mahomes giving Bieniemy the stamp of approval, it is clear that McCoy is just salty.
Now, Bieniemy will get to prove himself with an offensive core that definitely needs work. There is no telling what the Commanders can accomplish next season. However, the NFC East is wide open and there for the taking. If he can elevate those players to just a fraction of what the Chiefs are, then we are looking at something special.
