For those of you who don’t know the names of all of the different coaches in the NFL, Eric Bieniemy is the running backs coach for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Why should Chiefs fans be thankful for Bieniemy, you ask? Well because Bieniemy has been able to get the next man up and running when it comes to the running back position.
Jamaal Charles went down with an ACL injury in week five. Things seemed pretty grim for the Chiefs at that point in time, as they were in the midst of a four game losing streak.

Bieniemy handled the situation well though. When Charles went down, he had Charcandrick West out in the backfield looking like a stud. When West went down against San Diego, Spencer Ware came in and rushed for just shy of 100 yards with two touchdowns.
It’s been an impressive season for the former Colorado running back, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he got some interviews for another position next season.
