The Bears are hiring Eric Bieniemy as their running backs coach and keeping holdover Jim Dray as their tight ends coach, a source confirmed Saturday.
Bieniemy, 55, was the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator from 2018-22 — including two of their championship seasons. Bears general manager Ryan Poles was a member of the team’s front office during part of his stint there.
