Earlier this week, former Kansas City Chiefs star running back LeSean McCoy had some controversial comments about former Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy as he becomes the new offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders, and now Bieniemy is responding.
LeSean McCoy claimed that during his time with the Chiefs, Eric Bieniemy “had no real responsibility” and had “nothing to do” with the Chiefs’ passing attack. But Bieniemy doesn’t seem too concerned about McCoy’s comments, saying “he’s entitled to his own opinion.”
“LeSean McCoy is a future Hall-of-Fame runner. OK? Everybody is entitled to their own comments and how they feel,” Bieniemy said according to John Keim of ESPN. “When it’s all said and done with, I think that’s all I have to say because he’s entitled to his own opinion.
“That’s life. You have good and you have bad. It does not impact me in any way — because one thing you learn when you’re in this position, you have to learn to eliminate distractions. My job is to focus on the now. Everything outside these walls has no impact on Eric Bieniemy moving forward.”
Bieniemy will now have a chance to prove himself this season with the Commanders following McCoy’s criticism.
