After the departure of several assistants, <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/topic\/andy-reid\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word font-articleLinkText text-articleLinkText hover:text-articleLinkTextHover hover:bg-articleLinkTextHoverBg cursor-pointer border-solid border-b-articleLinkTextHover\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Andy Reid<\/a> is not wasting any time trying to pull off big splashes.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">The running game was one of the team\u2019s weaknesses in 2025, and according to a report from Adam Schefter, Reid already has a name in mind to try to fix that problem. \u201cChiefs requested to interview Raiders RB coach Deland McCullough for their running back position. McCullough was with the Chiefs from 2018-20.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">It is important to remember that Eric Bieniemy is the new offensive coordinator of the Chiefs after spending one year working as the running backs coach with the <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/topic\/chicago-bears\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word font-articleLinkText text-articleLinkText hover:text-articleLinkTextHover hover:bg-articleLinkTextHoverBg cursor-pointer border-solid border-b-articleLinkTextHover\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Chicago Bears<\/a>. Because of that, it seems very clear that one of the priorities in Kansas City is precisely to boost that group to help Patrick Mahomes. McCullough already worked as the running backs coach with the Chiefs between 2018 and 2020, winning a <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/topic\/super-bowl\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word font-articleLinkText text-articleLinkText hover:text-articleLinkTextHover hover:bg-articleLinkTextHoverBg cursor-pointer border-solid border-b-articleLinkTextHover\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Super Bowl<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Chiefs lose many coaches for 2026 season<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">The Chiefs have lost several coaches ahead of the 2026 season. The most important of them is Matt Nagy, who left his role as offensive coordinator in search of another opportunity as a head coach in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">The Kansas City Chiefs also let go of wide receivers coach Connor Embree and running backs coach Todd Pinkston. Other names who are out include Louie Addazio (defensive quality control) and Alex Whittingham, who worked with the defensive line.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">In the immediate future, the Chiefs face these changes to their staff and two major questions on their roster: <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/topic\/patrick-mahomes\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word font-articleLinkText text-articleLinkText hover:text-articleLinkTextHover hover:bg-articleLinkTextHoverBg cursor-pointer border-solid border-b-articleLinkTextHover\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Patrick Mahomes<\/a>, who is recovering from his knee injury, and <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/topic\/travis-kelce\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word font-articleLinkText text-articleLinkText hover:text-articleLinkTextHover hover:bg-articleLinkTextHoverBg cursor-pointer border-solid border-b-articleLinkTextHover\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Travis Kelce<\/a>, who could retire.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Andy Reid confirms if he\u2019s leaving Chiefs for another team in 2026 season with clear message\" href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/nfl\/andy-reid-confirms-if-hes-leaving-chiefs-for-another-team-in-2026-season-with-clear-message\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"article-also-read-embed\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aspect-square max-w-[100px] m-[10px] md:m-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/andyreid-200x200.webp.webp\" alt=\"Andy Reid confirms if he\u2019s leaving Chiefs for another team in 2026 season with clear message\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary my-[13px] uppercase text-alsoReadSeeAlso bg-alsoReadSeeAlsoBackground alsoReadSeeAlso w-fit\">see also<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-alsoReadEmbedTitle font-primary alsoReadLink\">Andy Reid confirms if he\u2019s leaving Chiefs for another team in 2026 season with clear message<\/p>\n<p><\/a><a class=\"leading-none\" href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/staff\/mfcastro\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/mfcastro.webp.webp\" alt=\"miguel angel fernandez castro\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-full\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-[14px] leading-[20px] min-h-[72px] md:min-h-[52px] mt-[10px] font-authorSignatureDescription hidden md:block\">Miguel Angel Fernandez Castro is a seasoned sports writer and analyst at Bolavip US, with a specialization in NFL, MLB, NBA, College Football, Soccer, Tennis, and Golf.
