Breaking News: Chiefs Giving Patrick Mahomes His Wish with Major Coaching Overhaul…see more

The Kansas City Chiefs had every reason for an offseason full of urgency after the year ended without an appearance in the AFC title game for the first time during the Patrick Mahomes era, but missed the playoffs altogether.

This is extremely telling, suggesting the Mahomes had grown frustrated with the lack of accountability or creativity within Kansas City’s offense. Something that the franchise is actively working to change, already making five notable coaching changes.

It is exactly the type of change Mahomes was asking for, and should bring fresh voices and perspectives into the room. Even new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who previously served in the role, will be a welcome change from the past three seasons.

It is important to note that in Bieniemy’s final season with the franchise, the Chiefs scored 29 points per game. This was a total that would crater each of the next three seasons under Matt Nagy, with the offense never averaging more than 22 points and two of the three seasons falling at 21 points per game.

This points to a coaching failure and a lack of consistency from a franchise that benefits from employing the league’s best quarterback.
