Travis Kelce has not revealed whether he will play next season, but he did reveal his excitement for the Kansas City Chiefs’ reported offensive coordinator hire.

The Chiefs re-hired Eric Bieniemy as their offensive coordinator for his second stint with the team, according to multiple reports, and Kelce was fired up about it. 

Bieniemy was the Chiefs’ running backs coach from 2013-17, and the team’s offensive coordinator from 2018-22. The 56-year-old coach spent last season with the Chicago Bears as their running backs coach.

“I think it’s great, I think it’s a marriage is going to pick up right where it left off. EB and who he is as a as a coach, you can see kind of his personality and what he brings to the table in that Chicago team, I know Ben Johnson has his own version of that, he’s a very tough guy, and what he did in Detroit he brought over as well, and you can see those running backs over Chicago and their body of work was definitely an Eric Bienemy style of football, man,” Kelce said during a recent episode of “New Heights.”

Bieniemy left the Chiefs after 2022 and spent one season as the Washington Commanders’ assistant head coach and offensive coordinator in 2023. After one season with the Commanders, Bieniemy went to UCLA for a season, where he was also the assistant head coach and offensive coordinator, before returning to the NFL with the Bears.

The Bears had a strong rushing attack, led by D’Andre Swift and rookie Kyle Monangai. In 16 games, Swift had 1,087 rushing yards with nine touchdowns while Monangai had 783 rushing yards with five touchdowns in 17 games.

Kelce, who had some of the best seasons of his career with Bieniemy as offensive coordinator, is excited to see him back in the building.

“I can’t wait to see him back in the building, man, he’s one of he’s one of my favorite coaches of all time, one of my favorite people of all time,” Kelce said. “I’ve had so many unbelievable growing moments under him as a player, as a person, and I just love the guy, and it’s going to be awesome to see him back in the building and see him back wearing the Chiefs logo, baby.”

Kelce said at the beginning of the month after the Chiefs’ season ended that he would take some time away before deciding on his playing future. If he decides to return and stays with the Chiefs, he will have one of his favorite coaches back with him.

The body wasn’t even cold before the Buffalo Bills decided to let go of Sean McDermott.

The Bills fired McDermott on Monday after the team’s heartbreaking playoff loss to the Denver Broncos in the AFC divisional round.

That loss, team owner Terry Pegula said, single-handedly cost McDermott his job.

“My decision to bring in a new coach was based on the results of our game in Denver,” Pegula, alongside general manager Brandon Beane, told reporters on Wednesday.

“I looked around, first thing I noticed was our quarterback with his head down crying. I looked at all the other players, I looked at their faces and our coaches, I walked over to Josh [Allen], he didn’t even acknowledge I was there. First thing I said to him was ‘That was a catch.’ We all know what I’m talking about. He didn’t acknowledge me. He just sat there sobbing. He was listless. He had given everything he had to try to win that game. And looking around, so did all the other players on the team.”

“I did not fire a coach based on a bad officiating decision. If I can take you into that locker room, I felt like we hit the proverbial playoff wall year after year,” Pegula added.

The owner also made sure to note that Allen “didn’t have any input at all” in the decision.

“I didn’t talk to Josh about this. I talked to him afterwards, but that conversation will stay private,” Pegula said.

BILLS HEAD COACH SEAN MCDERMOTT CHIDES OFFICIALS FOR CONTROVERSIAL INTERCEPTION CALL: ‘NOT EVEN CLOSE’

Beane was asked about the lack of wide receiver success, namely in Keon Coleman, but Pegula jumped in and placed blame on “coaching” on the first pick of the second round in 2024. Ladd McConkey was the next selection.

“The coaching staff pushed to draft Keon,” Pegula said. “I’m not saying Brandon wouldn’t have drafted him, but he wasn’t his next choice. That was Brandon being a team player and taking advice from his coaching staff who felt strongly about the player. He’s taken, for some reason, heat over it and not saying a word about it. But I’m here to tell you the true story.”

The defeat marked another crushing blow to McDermott’s tenure as the Bills’ head coach. McDermott took the job before the start of the 2017 season, and Buffalo finished under .500 only once since then. He helped guide the Bills to the playoffs in eight of his nine seasons. The team made the conference title game twice but never got back to the Super Bowl.

Many thought the Bills were a team of destiny this year, considering Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson all did not make the playoffs. 

Alas, Jarrett Stidham and the Broncos will go against Drake Maye and the New England Patriots for a trip to the Super Bowl.
