Recently the Kansas City Chiefs have had some drama surrounding them, which, yes, is not normal by any means. This is a franchise that usually tends to keep its name out of stuff like that but has somehow failed to do so lately.
Eric Bieniemy, the Chiefs' former offensive coordinator, has taken a job in Washington, where he can prove to everyone that he can be a good coach without Andy Reid. We all hope it works out for him. Everyone in the organization does too.
All the former players in the organization think it will work too. Well actually, one former player doesn't think it will work.
LeSean McCoy, who was on the team for one year, had some tough words about Bieniemy. The quote is far too long, so to sum things up, he said that Bieniemy doesn't really have anything to do with the offense.
Then multiple former players come to Bieniemy's guard to have his back. Tyreek Hill, Jamaal Charles, and Charcandrick West all said that what McCoy was saying is a lie.
After it's been out there for a few days now, this is what Bieniemy had to say about it, and man, he handled it like a head coach honestly.
"He's a future Hall of Fame runner," Bieniemy told the Washington media. "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. That's life, You got good, you got bad. It doesn't impact me in any way. The one thing you learn in this position is you have to eliminate distractions. My job is to focus on the now. Everything outside these walls has no impact on Eric Bieniemy moving forward."
I think it's weird for McCoy to be the only one to say that when literally everyone else is saying he is lying. Sometimes when former players get on TV shows they start saying anything for views. This could be another example of that.
