It’s only weird if you are incapable of looking at other potential reasons that actually make sense.

Like his failure as a college HC, the fact that he’s a glorified RB coach, multiple reports that he doesn’t interview well, etc...

But sure it’s simply because of the color of his skin in 2021. The NFL is obviously racist.

This is a league where Mike McCarthy is a HC...I've made plenty of jokes about guys like Brad Childress not doing anything when they were Reid assistants but his coaching tree has a good track record.

He wasn't a college HC...

Marvin Lewis? Hue Jackson? Anthony Lynn?

What’s your point?

I meant OC. It’s his only experience as a legitimate play caller with control of the offense.

If you hire a fucking RB coach then you have to nail your OC and DC hire. And if you nail the OC hire, they won’t be around long.

This is a QB driven league, nobody wants a guy that isn’t a QB coach/developer. It’s really simple, and only an idiot like yourself can’t grasp that.

Houston wasn't a race thing. Their stupidity made it one. Watson was interested in bieniemy because Mahomes pounded the table for him. All Houston had to do was give a courtesy interview. They were also the only team to not interview Saleh. I think it's more about the arrogance of these patriot stooges that they don't think they need to.

Let's be real. It's dabolls job to lose. Much as Houston is doing gymnastics to pretend they're entertaining other options. All of a sudden adding guys like bieniemy and Frazier to their list is all weak theatre.

It’s more likely that Daboll gets the Chargers job...

I hope not.

I'm not saying it's race, but give me a break. Eric Bieniemy could be and probably will be a better coach than Zac fucking Taylor.
[Reply]

The obvious answer is his past. This day and age you get scrutinized for your past behavior more than ever, and Bieniemy had a laundry list of things that'll get him raked across the proverbial coals on top of what's already been mentioned
[Reply]

I totally understand that viewpoint, but to ignore why a guy like Taylor got hired in the first place, and the current trend of teams wanting QB coaches/developers at HC, is pure ignorance.

It’s very obvious what the new “prototype” is for a HC.

Now I’m willing to say it’s probably a combination of other things along with that, but that’s always been the biggest difference between Bieniemy and his white peers that have gotten HC jobs while he hasn’t.
[Reply]

What in the blue fuck?

I don't care if you're listing these as "potential" reasons, man. Do you think these are possible reasons for Bieniemy not getting hired? That he's an incompetent leader and would make a terrible head coach?

There's a middle ground between race and Bieniemy being incompetent. It's called, "The timing isn't right." Due to the Chiefs constantly being in the playoff hunt and Bieniemy being unable to be released from his job until they get eliminated. It's the far more logical explanation, and I'm kind of getting pissed that it's getting overlooked by both sides to explain the situation.
[Reply]

You could be right. I hope someone hires Bienemy because I think Reid can replace him adequately and because it comes with a compensatory draft pick so it’s low risk/guaranteed reward for the Chiefs.
[Reply]

I’m just listing other reasons beyond race dude.

I don’t disagree at all with timing also being an issue. It’s not the only one though.

And Black men in America consistently get fewer - if any - second chances than white men. Both things can be true.
