How Eric Bieniemy stays engaged with Chiefs while tending to wife, who recovers from alleged shooting by son

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy's son, Elijah Bieniemy, 27, faces charges for allegedly shooting his mother, Mia Bieniemy, in Ashburn, Virginia.

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy is dealing with a family tragedy after his son, Elijah, allegedly shot his wife, Mia, multiple times July 26, leaving her hospitalized.

But Chiefs GM Brett Veach said Bieniemy remains engaged with the team, though his family takes top priority.

Veach told reporters the team set up Bieniemy with a live feed of practices so he can watch and analyze remotely as players go through drills, according to The Athletic.

Veach said Bieniemy called him during one of the practices, asking to speak with head coach Andy Reid, who brought his old offensive coordinator back to the organization this offseason.

"That’s the thing. … It’s so refreshing to have back — that attention to detail," Veach said of Bieniemy, who wanted Reid to relay a message to rookie running back Emmett Johnson. "He demands each player knows his assignment. There’s never a safe space with him."

Veach added that Bieniemy was brought back to give the roster a "kick in the a--," and he means that in the best way possible.

The Chiefs went 6-11 last season, a far cry from the success they’re used to.
