Coaching career[]

As one of the Chiefs coaches whose duties include advance scouting of opposing teams, Bleymaier was one of the assistant coaches for the Chiefs given credit for helping them convert a 4th-and-1 play in the 2020 AFC Divisional Round that helped them advance into the next round of the playoffs.[3][4] He was also credited by Chiefs head coach Andy Reid for his behind-the-scenes work on the Chiefs' innovative and creative concepts on offense.[5]

Bleymaier was promoted to wide receivers coach on April 2, 2021.[6]

Personal life[]

Bleymaier is the son of former Boise State and San Jose State athletic director Gene Bleymaier.[7] After earning his law degree, he went to work for the University of the Pacific's athletic department as an assistant director of compliance before opening a tech start-up with his brother.
