Now that the Chiefs have promoted running backs coach Eric Bieniemy to offensive coordinator spot, they are looking to
fill that position, and might turn to a college running backs coach for help.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network the Chiefs are chatting with USC running backs coach Deland McCullough to come in and take the reigns of the Chiefs RB position.
McCullough, 45, oversaw Ronald Jones II this season as he rushed for 1,550 yards and 19 touchdowns in McCullough’s first season at USC. He previously spent six seasons as Indiana’s running backs coach, where Tevin Coleman rushed for 2,036 yards in 2014.
He began his coaching career at his alma mater, Miami (OH).
McCullough rushed for 4,368 yards in four seasons at Miami (OH), and he played two seasons in the CFL for Winnipeg.
