KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2014 Although the Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 2025 season may have been over earlier than any other season this decade, it doesn\u2019t mean the team hasn\u2019t had its hands full in the new year.<\/p>\n
So far, Kansas City\u2019s offseason has been highlighted by a plethora of coaching additions<\/a>. From a new \u2013 or returning, rather \u2013 offensive coordinator to various other new additions to the staff, the Chiefs are continuing to try to patch the holes that sank their ship in the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Royals make pitching move as Alec Marsh lands back on IL, likely out for \u201926 <\/a><\/p>\n With rumors and new staff members being introduced frequently this offseason, it can be hard to keep track of who all will be on the sidelines at Arrowhead Stadium in 2026. For that reason, here\u2019s a look at each coach the Chiefs have added to their staff this offseason:<\/p>\n Offensive Coordinator Eric Bieniemy<\/p>\n One of the most integral parts of any team\u2019s offense is the offensive coordinator, and with former OC Matt Nagy\u2019s contract expiring at the end of the previous season, the Chiefs were unmistakably in the market for an upgrade.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Hence, the Chiefs chose to reunite with an old friend: Eric Bieniemy<\/a>. Bieniemy was the offensive coordinator for the Chiefs from 2018 to 2022. He was also the running backs coach from 2013 to 2017.<\/p>\n Following Bieniemy\u2019s 2023 departure, he joined the Washington Commanders as offensive coordinator before joining the staff at the University of California \u2013 Los Angeles as the team\u2019s assistant coach and offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n In 2025, Bieniemy oversaw the running backs for the Chicago Bears, a team that led the NFC North Division and guided running back D\u2019Andre Swift to a career year.<\/p>\n Chiefs fans, local business owners lament Chiefs-less Super Bowl LX <\/a><\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Bieniemy spoke to his experiences outside the Chiefs\u2019 organization back in January, explaining how they\u2019ll help him implement new ideas into a Chiefs offense that was, frankly, derivative.<\/p>\n \u201cMore than anything, you develop patience. You develop a broad view of things. It forces you to go back and maybe look at things a little bit different,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cAnybody can call plays, but you\u2019ve got to make sure that you are doing what\u2019s best for those players in that particular time, because the talent level may not equate to what you may have worked with in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n Running Backs Coach DeMarco Murray<\/p>\n Kansas City\u2019s rushing attack was perhaps the most glaring aspect of the team that lagged behind week-in and week-out last season \u2013 and if you\u2019re a fan of the NFL in the 2010\u2019s, you\u2019re probably already familiar with the team\u2019s apparent solution.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Enter DeMarco Murray<\/a>, the 2014 NFL AP Offensive Player of the Year for the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n Wednesday evening, the report broke that Murray would be taking over as running backs coach for the Chiefs, subsequently getting his first opportunity to coach at the professional level. Marray previously led the running backs at the University of Arizona in 2019 and at his alma mater, Oklahoma, from 2020 to 2025.<\/p>\n While OU\u2019s run game may not have been as potent as some might expect from a coach making the leap from the collegiate level to the NFL. However, the lack of stability within the team<\/a> and the nature of its offenses during his stint with OU should certainly be noted.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Additionally, it\u2019s worth mentioning that the Chiefs weren\u2019t the only NFL team interested in Murray\u2019s skills.<\/p>\n While fans will have to wait till the start of the season to gauge Murray\u2019s effectiveness, optimism can be found in the pairing of two former NFL running backs, as Bieniemy also played in the NFL for nearly a decade.<\/p>\n Wide Receivers Coach Chad O\u2019Shea<\/p>\n O\u2019Shea is another coach added to the staff this offseason who is making a return to Kansas City; he joined the NFL as an assistant with the Chiefs back in 2003.<\/p>\n Following his tenure with the Chiefs, he\u2019s racked up 18 years of experience as a WR coach. O\u2019Shea coached the receivers of the Minnesota Vikings from 2007-08, then the New England Patriots from 2009-18 \u2013 a tenure that granted him three Super Bowl wins. He was the OC for the Miami Dolphins in 2019 and then returned to the WR room from 2020-25 with the Cleveland Browns.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n
