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.
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. [Reply]

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. [Reply]

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

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

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. [Reply]
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. [Reply]
