The Commanders offered their offensive coordinator position to Eric Bieniemy and hope to finalize a deal by Saturday.
Bieniemy spent the past five seasons as the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator, helping oversee an offense that powered two Super Bowl championships — including one last weekend.
But he was not the primary playcaller on coach Andy Reid’s staff. In Washington, Bieniemy would be in complete charge of the offense and call plays.
Bieniemy would replace Scott Turner, who was fired on Jan. 10 after three seasons.
During those three years combined, Washington ranked 27th in yards per game and 28th in points per game. Last season, the Commanders were 20th in yards and 26th in points.
Washington will enter a crucial fourth season under coach Ron Rivera. The Commanders have gone a combined 22-27-1 in his first three seasons, winning the NFC East with a 7-9 record in 2020.
With Washington’s franchise up for sale, it’s likely that the Commanders would need a strong season for the staff to continue.
Bieniemy has interviewed for several head coaching jobs over the past four offseasons, but did not receive any offers.
This year, he interviewed for the Indianapolis Colts’ head coaching position, but that job went to Shane Steichen.
