Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill, a.k.a. “The Cheetah,” was an explosive weapon for the Chiefs back in 2021. Before becoming a prominent wideout, he began his career as a running back for the team. It was then RB coach and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy who helped him transition into an elite All-Pro. Now, with destiny potentially hinting at their reunion in Kansas City, an old video of the former Super Bowl champ has resurfaced.

“When I first got in the league, I was a running back and E.B (Eric Bieniemy) coaches running backs.” Tyreek Hill said. “He made me understand who I was as a player and to him, that was bigger than football. Like, playing football is part of the blessing.”

Hill indeed reached great heights when Bieniemy was the OC of the Chiefs. In his six seasons for the franchise (2016-2021), he recorded over 1,000 receiving yards every single year except 2017 and 2019. Furthermore, the WR scored a combined 56 receiving touchdowns when Bieniemy was at the helm.

In 2022, Hill and Bieniemy parted ways. The wideout was traded to the Miami Dolphins with a four-year, $120 million deal, making him one of the highest-paid WRs at the time. Soon after, Bieniemy left Kansas, too.

After helping Kansas City lift the Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl LVII, Eric Bieniemy chose a different path. The longtime Chiefs assistant left for Ron Rivera in Washington, taking over as the Commanders’ offensive coordinator.

Although Hill flourished in the first two seasons with the Dolphins, he has slowed down since then. In 2024, he couldn’t hit the 1000 receiving yards mark, and a knee injury largely hampered his progress this year. That being said, if the Dolphins let go of Hill before June 1, 2026, in the off-season, they would take a dead cap of $28,248,750.

Recently, Hill has given several hints on social media about a possible return to the Chiefs. When former quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick posted a tweet about “putting in request,” the Cheetah gave a cheeky reply.

“Since we putting in a request I want to go home,” his comment read on X.

Many fans interpreted “home” as the Kansas City Chiefs, where he spent six years of his NFL career and won a Super Bowl. He sent out another strong hint, replying to a fan who wrote that he is sorely missed with the four-time Super Bowl champions.

While Hill’s return still hangs in the balance, the Chiefs have already made their move for a new OC.

Eric Bieniemy is reportedly heading back to the Kansas City Chiefs

After ending their 10-year playoff streak this season, the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense has serious work to do in the offseason. With Matt Nagy’s contract not renewed yet, the franchise could start by bringing back the former offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. He left the franchise in 2023 but helped them win two Super Bowls.

Bieniemy is currently the running back coach of the Chicago Bears. However, several NFL sources, including that of Ian Rapoport, suggest that the Chiefs are eager to bring back the familiar face to the Chiefs ahead of the 2026 season. With the Chicago Bears’ NFL campaign now over after the Divisional Round exit, the Chiefs are pushing to fast-track the process.

The former Chiefs star Tyreek Hill has nothing but praise for the 56-year-old. In fact, other players have spoken about their fondness for the coach, too. Players like Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes admired his coaching.

“There should be no question on how great a man/coach Coach Bieniemy is,” wrote Mahomes on X in 2023.

If Hill and Bieniemy reunite, the offense will once again become unstoppable. With Patrick Mahomes trying to get back by the season kickoff, the Chiefs can aim for a Super Bowl run in 2026.
