Eric Bieniemy

[D.O.C. 989]

Maybe he is not that good. If he is indeed calling the plays, there are some very questionable calls at critical times. I don't believe he is really that good and wouldn't mind seeing him go.

I'd rather see Spagnuolo leave. He replaced the defensive line and linebacker coaches for next year. Those were his strongest assets on defense last two years. If they don't do something to fix the defensive backs they will not win the SB again. His time is over get some new blood in there.

Surprised no one has mentioned how well Matt Nagy panned out as a HC after being regarded as a 'brilliant' offensive OC under Reid. It's the NFL. If you can win, you're in. I don't think Bieniemy's past transgressions, race, or interview ability have anything to do with the lack of legit interest as HC candidate. Like the Belichik coaching tree that has been remarkably unsuccessful for so many teams, Reid runs the show and his staff merely communicate his vision to their respective units.

It is also very possible that Bieniemy and the Chiefs have discussed succession scenarios, as there likely is not a better fit with their current offense to take over if/when Reid does step away. He's getting up there in age, and his personal tragedies have most certainly taken a toll.

I have never heard that his background is holding him back. Like said above, GM's have a criminal record so do some owners. Saying that he doesn't interview well seems like a cop out too. I love how some people were saying that certain black guys were not being hired because they were DC's and teams want OC's then there were DC's hired as HC.

Black guys get fired faster than white guys. Black guys don't get rehired like white guys do. It's obvious that team owners would rather take a chance on a white guy than a black guy.

Here are the dolphin coaches over the last several years with the years they coached. I guess Adam Gase should be really upset, he took them to the playoffs one year and still got canned after 3 years. Still think your argument holds water?

I thought that I heard on ESPN that he doesn't interview well.

so did the espn commentators sit in on the interview? Nothing but speculation....same as what we have in this thread.

Hope he stays with the chiefs till Andy retires....then we will see what he is made of.

Kind of wish EB was calling the plays 2 weeks ago.
