Patrick Mahomes praises Eric Bieniemy after Commanders’ presser

Eric Bieniemy was officially introduced Thursday as the new offensive coordinator and assistant head coach for the Washington Commanders. Bieniemy answered every question, from why he chose Washington, his appreciation for Kansas City to potentially being a head coach.

After the press conference, Bieniemy met with different reporters, often answering many of the same questions. Bieniemy was consistent and confident in his answers.

One question Biieniemy was asked centered around LeSean McCoy’s comments about him as an offensive coordinator. McCoy, who played one season with the Chiefs in 2019, was critical of Bieniemy as an offensive coordinator and didn’t believe he’d succeed in Washington. Bieniemy took the high road, saying McCoy was entitled to his own opinion.

Several of Bieniemy’s former players defended him, making McCoy’s comments look like those of a bitter ex-player.

On Thursday, after Bieniemy’s presser, the most famous player who played for Bieniemy, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, came out in defense of his former coach.

We should now be able to put this notion to rest. After all, Bieniemy will have the chance this fall to show everyone his ability to lead an offense by himself.
