On a previous episode of the PFN Weekly show, Allbright mentioned that Eric Bieniemy is “a titleholder who relays the play calls in but doesn’t make the play calls very often.”

“Andy Reid’s doing the play calling. Like 99 percent of the time Andy Reid is doing the play calling, he designed the offense, all of that stuff.”

Allbright has also mentioned that Bieniemy’s previous interviews have been poor. These poor interviews have likely caused him to fall out of consideration for certain positions in the past. Allbright mentioned that some teams with vacancies aren’t all that interested in Bieniemy. These historical poor interviews could be a big reason why.

USA Today had a great article today that highlights all the reasons EB SHOULD be considered for a HC opportunity

I speculated that maybe he was a poor interviewer and got trashed last season. And i still believe that he may be being hurt by Nagy and Pederson as much as whether or not he calls plays or not. The wheels are falling off ofr Pederson without elite talent, and Nagy had one flash in the pan season and can only seem to temporarily right the ship when he changes qbs for a week or two. Teams may see that and think the magic is mostly big Andy and be nervous about turning the keys to a franchise thats already in dismay over.

I think Houston hires him.

God, if i was him id need minimum 5 year contract and locked into it pretty good. That franchise has a long road ahead with so few quality picks.

The 1 time shot could backfire. I think Childress did it with nothing to lose

He can’t be any worse than guys like Adam Gase or Matt Patricia.

They have a damn good QB though and that's half the battle for a new HC

[RaidersOftheCellar]

How do we know he doesn’t call the plays that everybody bitches about?

Probably not a great look if Kafka gets a head coaching job and Bienemy doesn’t.

They have Watson. That's a pretty important piece of the puzzle.

True but he may not interview well at all.

Its an interesting story because frankly outside of the locker-room and meeting rooms who knows how qualified Bienemy really is? He may interview like shit. OC may be his ceiling.

Players are notoriously bad evaluators of coaches historically. Romeo Crennel is absolutely loved by his players for example, so was Gunther Cunningham.

The Peter Principle States if you continue to get promoted eventually almost everyone is promoted past their capabilities. We see this all the time in the NFL.

Yeah coaches have built quality teams for years and gotten fired because they have Dwayne Haskins for QB. Having a top QB already under contract is huge, give any coach 3 or 4 years and they can rebuild that roster, but as a new coach you'd want at least that much time with such few draft capital. Start a firesale this offseason starting with JJ Watt.

[PAChiefsGuy]

Doesn't matter all it takes is one team to be interested and he is gone.

[Jerok]

I just want those 2 3rd round picks when he leaves!

When did Heavy and USAToday become a sports source?
