Yippee.

How many decades until he is allowed to call a play? I always want my new shiney qb to have a new coordinator that was a running backs coach.

Heh, my first thought was, "former Chargers RB, now coaching for Bieniemy"

It appears to be a lazy, tired hiring.

Since 1999, EB has coached running backs for all but two years, when he was the Offensive Coordinator at his alma mater, which went 4-21 and averaged 14 points per game, in the defensively weak Pac-12.

He's never been a QB, never coached a QB and while he's done very good work with NFL running backs, he's never designed an NFL offense, especially one as complex as Andy Reid's West Coast Offense.

The Chiefs will need to hire a very strong QB coach in order to prepare that room each week and the idea of Bieniemy overseeing Pat Mahomes development as a player is nothing short of frightening.

He may prove me wrong but I just don't like it, at all. Hiring a first time NFL Offensive Coordinator at the age of 48 just seems lazy.

Is he ready for the responsibility of coaching up Pat Mahomes?

While I agree with you I am going to hold off bashing fat boy until I see who else he brings in or promotes.

Stupid hire. All I want to hear is that Sutton and alex are gone.

I'm not sure that Bienemy would be expected to design the offense. That's Andy's strength. What Eric needs to be able to do is to implement that offense on game days. Because as smart as Reid is at designing plays, he just can't seem to figure out which of those plays call based on the defense and the down and distance. I mean, every play that Nagy was calling was out of Reid's playbook. But he knew better than Andy what plays to call when the defense adjusted to the game plan. It was painfully evident midseason and Saturday night that Reid just can't adjust on the fly. Will Bienemy be better, and more importantly, will Reid let him? We can only hope.
