It has been a fun and productive first few days for the UCLA Bruins football team. After practice on Friday, the media spoke to UCLA Bruins offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. He had plenty say about the progress of the offense.
“It’s been good. First three days. Guys are putting in some solid work. The biggest thing we want to accomplish first and foremost, we have to grow together as an offensive unit. On top of that, we are still in evaluation process to see who can bring what to the table.”
Bieniemy was with the UCLA Bruins as a running back coach from 2003-2005, before heading to the National Football League. He is mostly known as a running back coach and offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs. He left the Chiefs after the 2022 season and was with the Washington Commanders in 2023.

Bienemy will look to improve on an offense that scored 26.4 points per game a season ago. The Bruins averaged 229 passing yards, and just shy of 200 rushing yards per game a season ago.
