Bieniemy got his start in the NFL as a second-round pick of the then-San Diego Chargers in the 1991 NFL Draft. In addition to the Chargers, he also played for the Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles before retiring following the 1999 season.
In 2001, Bieniemy entered the coaching ranks, joining Colorado as their running backs coach. He later moved onto UCLA before getting back into the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings as their running backs coach in 2006.
After returning to Colorado for a brief stint in 2011-2012, Bieniemy was hired as the Chiefs’ running backs coach in 2013 and took over as their offensive coordinator in 2018. He is considered Andy Reid’s top assistant coach.
