LeSean McCoy accuses Eric Bieniemy of cursing players in wake of head coaching snub
Eric Bieniemy was recently announced as the new offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders and he leaves the Kansas City Chiefs as a two-time Super Bowl winner.
LeSean McCoy, who himself is a two-time Super Bowl champion and won one with the Chiefs, has fired shots at Bieniemy quite often. Recently on SPEAK, McCoy once again went after his former OC.
Here's what McCoy said on SPEAK:
"My first practice, I couldn't believe it. He dog coaching, dog cussing the players and not just the regular players, Kelce you know, you know other players. So it's like, it's hard for me. I'm rooting for him because he's a Black coach."
In the 2019/2020 season with the Kansas City Chiefs, McCoy won the Super Bowl, but he didn't play quite as often. He was benched by coach Bieniemy and maybe since then, the running back has held a grudge against the new Commanders OC.
Eric Bieniemy was pretty successful with the Chiefs and no other player on the team has ever come out and talked ill about their OC except LeSean McCoy. Former Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill also came to the defense of Bieniemy in light of McCoy's comments.
I wish him WELL but Washington don’t let the chiefs SUCCESS or coaching titles fool y’all… the traits or skills you need to be a good coordinator I haven’t seen or WITNESSED it … https://t.co/Qtaes1irnx
Why did Eric Bieniemy leave the Kansas City Chiefs?
Coach Bieniemy's name has been mentioned for the head coaching positions every season, but he hasn't been able to land one. It is widely believed across the league that his success was made possible by Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, which is why the former Chiefs OC decided to leave the franchise.
6 (six!) former Chiefs have pushed back against LeSean McCoy for his comments on Eric Bieniemy.
This is a terrible look for McCoy. https://t.co/t9HhcNoX2b
Now that Bieniemy must transform the Washington Commanders' offense into an elite offense, he has a formidable challenge. Sam Howell will likely be their starting quarterback next season, despite having made only one NFL start so far.
The Commanders have a number of talented players, including Brian Robinson Jr., Terry McLaurin, and Jahan Dotson, who will unquestionably help coach Eric Bieniemy.
The former Chiefs offensive coordinator is desperate for a head coaching position in the NFL, and if he succeeds in Washington without Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, it won't be a surprise if he gets an HC gig next season.
