When Eagles legend LeSean McCoy put Jalen Hurts on blast, he likely didn’t expect one of the NFL’s fastest receivers to fire back. LeSean ‘Shady’ McCoy didn’t hold back, publicly criticizing Jalen Hurts following the Eagles’ Wild Card loss to the injury-depleted San Francisco 49ers. However, not everyone appreciated the timing or substance of those comments. As the conversation picked up steam, wide receiver Tyreek Hill appeared to fire a subtle shot back at McCoy on social media.

“I’d love to take over an NFL team and hire nothing but Twitter film gurus and former players in various roles and see how far we could get.” Read Kurt Benkert’s initial X post, referencing former players like McCoy.

“Hire shady as QB coach,” Hill wrote in reply.

The post came shortly after McCoy broke down what he saw as deeper issues with Hurts and the Eagles’ offense.

“Hurts, I need you to be special,” McCoy said, speaking on Speakeasy. “Make plays. I did a lot of digging, man, and I don’t want to throw him under the bus here, but I know some people, and the problem is [the Eagles] can’t do different, exotic looks, different formations, different motions, because I’m hearing that he can’t really do it.”

McCoy wasn’t alone, especially after Hurts’ rough outing against the 49ers. Hurts’ last postseason outing was a master class against the Chiefs in a Super Bowl win. Many expected him to carry that form into the playoffs. But the quarterback finished 20-of-35 for 168 yards with one touchdown. On the ground, he managed just 14 yards on four carries. The worst of it was when his incompletion on a fourth down effectively ended the game. Had that drive resulted in a touchdown, the Eagles could have scraped a win.

While Hill’s jab may have been lighthearted, it doesn’t erase the larger conversation around Hurts’ limitations as a passer during the 2025 season. For starters, pressure was a constant issue. One of the recurring critiques has been his tendency to bail from the pocket at the first hint of heat. The numbers back that up. Inside the pocket, Hurts’ efficiency dipped noticeably.

The Eagles’ run game went from 3,048 yards in 2024 to just 1,908 this season. That drop feeds the argument that Hurts’ stats were system-driven, a point Hill’s tweet slyly hinted at. The firing of OC Kevin Patullo right after the loss only adds weight to that theory. Every quarterback has limitations. In Philadelphia’s case, though, the very things that powered their 2024 run struggled to show up in 2025. The result was hard to miss: Last year’s Super Bowl winners were eliminated in the Wild Card round. As for Tyreek Hill, the wideout is continuing to make his presence felt via his social media posts.

Tyreek Hill shares a cryptic message after the Chiefs hire Eric Bieniemy

Tyreek Hill may be away from the field after suffering a season-ending injury during the 2025 regular season, but that hasn’t stopped him from staying very much a part of the NFL conversation. Even while sidelined, Hill has been closely following league developments and reacting to them in his own subtle way.

Former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was linked to the Los Angeles Chargers. Hill took to X to comment on the situation.

“Mike to the Chargers hm,” Hill simply wrote on X.

Tyreek Hill Issues Final Statement on Chiefs Return After Cryptic Eric Bieniemy Message

Short, curious, and just enough to get people talking. But it was his reaction to the next coaching move that really caught attention. When the Kansas City Chiefs hired their former offensive coordinator, Eric Bieniemy, to replace Matt Nagy, Hill posted again.

“EB to the Chiefs hm,” the identical X post read.

Two tweets, same tone, and suddenly, speculation was everywhere about a possible Chiefs reunion in 2026. Not too long ago, Hill also slyly referenced the Chiefs as his possible home. For now, nothing is official. But Hill’s history with both Kansas City and Bieniemy adds an extra layer to the conversations. Some of the best football of Hill’s career came under Bieniemy’s system. From 2018 to 2021, Hill averaged 79.8 receptions per season, 1,105 receiving yards, and 9.3 touchdowns under the OC.

That run ended when Kansas City traded him to Miami in 2021. For the past two seasons, though, Hill’s name has regularly surfaced in rumors about a potential exit from the Dolphins. Whether those whispers ever turn into reality is still unclear. But with 2026 looming and Hill openly reacting to familiar faces returning to Kansas City, it’s hard not to connect the dots, despite all this being noise for now.
