The Washington Commanders have added Eric Bieniemy as their assistant head coach and offensive coordinator. The team waited until after the Super Bowl to get their top target, and now the person who helped build the dynamic Kansas City Chiefs offense is joining the Burgundy & Gold.

It should not be surprising that Commanders fans love the acquisition, and why shouldn't they? The Chiefs' offense has been among the top of the league since Bieniemy was promoted to offensive coordinator with the 2022 season, during which the unit finished first in yards (413.6) and points (29.2), being the latest example of that.

Here's a look at how fan are reacting to the news of Bieniemy leading the Commanders' offense in 2023.

Landing Eric Bieniemy as OC is such a massive next level move for Washington. Legit franchise changing move. #HTTC

When you believe in yourself you must take chances to find out how far you can go on your own.

Success is fed off of failure, if you’re afraid to fail it’s going to be hard to ever have success.

I wish #EricBieniemy the BEST! 💪🏼 https://t.co/QvK5sCoP2A

Excellent news yesterday that we have finally got our OC in #EricBieniemy Looking forward to the draft and hopefully catching up with my fellow #UKCommanders #HTTC

I'm REALLY curious as to see who is on Eric Bieniemy's coaching staff (that feels great to post) seeing how he's the assistant head coach.

He may get some respected and quality guys on that group and they make take a Washington roster with talent on offense to that next level. https://t.co/rKp2bbxpfa

We are fortunate to have a man of this caliber leading our offense. He’s fully empowered to reshape the program in his image- creative game planning, attention to detail, unwavering accountability. Our franchise is poised to leap forward & his leadership will be a catalyst. #HTTC https://t.co/8AEu2RnQSJ

Eric Beiniemy to…Washington?! To work under a longtime, respected defensive coach?! BUT — BUT — BUT — why would he leave Kansas City?!

Credit for taking a big swing. The Commanders took a shot. Bieniemy was looking for a fresh start and it could have a big payoff.

According to local news Eric Bieniemy will be leaving KC for good and heading to DC in the next week or so. Sounds like somebody’s excited to get to work 🔥
— Hilary (@HilareeBanks) February 19, 2023

I LOVE that such a recently decorated coach that is "still wanted" in Kansas City chose to coach in Washington!

It speaks volumes of the strengthened culture and the perception that "nobody wants to come to Washington."

Makes me proud.

Welcome, Coach Bieniemy. #HTTC

When this began I never imagined the team would land a candidate as quality as Bieniemy. Credit goes to Ron and Washington on this one https://t.co/NU6DUWhEH6

Been a while since I’ve seen this fan base been in harmony

Howell expected to be QB1, the majority seem intrigued & good with it

Bieniemy announced as OC to overwhelming excitement & support

Let’s kill the draft, extend these key players in house & have a good FA 💪 #HTTC pic.twitter.com/gQGJL6bZKv
