Chiefs coach Andy Reid confirmed that was the case.
Andy Reid confirmed in a question asked by @Jeff_McLane that the Eagles never formally requested to interview offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. “There was nothing formally put in.”

ESPN reported in January that the Eagles requested to speak with Bieniemy, but would wait to interview him until the Chiefs were eliminated from the playoffs.
Reid disputed that report.
The Eagles didn’t wait until the Chiefs were eliminated from the playoffs to make a decision.
In the Eagles’ case, Bieniemy didn’t interview at all.
