Maybe he just isn't really that good.
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.
Kind of wish EB was calling the plays 2 weeks ago.
