He said, “We got one of the greatest coaches of all-time in Andy Reid and Eric Bieniemy. That combo is nasty. It’s like Shaq and Kobe. It’s crazy. “

Andy Reid and Eric Bieniemy are two coaches for the Cheifs. They have been together for a long time now and are instrumental to the Chiefs’ success the last few years. Reid is the head coach and Eric is the offensive co-ordinator for the Cheifs. They have been credited with creating an offensive juggernaut which puts up points in a hurry.
