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.

My guess is he would just go back to college as a HC somewhere. [Reply]
Plot Twist: The Texans didn't interview him because they pegged him as their guy all along, from the moment Watson identified him as his guy they began their homework on him.
If the Texans don't sign a HC by the end of the AFCCG, you can bet your ass it'll be Beinemy. ESPECIALLY if Buffalo loses this weekend and they dont hire Daboll. [Reply]

If Daboll goes to the Chargers....then I could see it. [Reply]

EB calls plays here. Not all of them, he shares that responsibility with Reid but you can clearly see on Sundays that he's reading the sheet and working the head set, even at times when Andy isn't.
Also, he had a chance to be the HC at his alma mater. They talked to him about the job last year right after the Super Bowl but he ultimately turned them down. [Reply]
I’m pretty sure there absolutely is no team worried about the Chiefs getting a very late extra 3rd round draft pick, probably would be around the 110th pick in this year’s draft and next, if they hire EB. EB is still the odds on favorite for the Houston Texans head coach vacancy.

I have a really difficult time believing that any Power 5 conference team would hire Bieniemy after his poor performance as CU's OC, not to mention his other issues on college campuses in the past. [Reply]

CU told him the job was his if he wanted it. He waited a week and then told them he wasn't interested. And this was after the Super Bowl when he pretty much knew he wasn't get an NFL job for another year. [Reply]

I don't blame him. Recruiting is such a grind on top of the actual grind of being an HC. [Reply]

Eric Bieniemy turned down CU last night per source. CU came back at him again today but he didn’t change mind. CU stayed patient while Bienemy vacationed. While Bieniemy was never formally interviewed, two sides stayed in contact. He appeared to be CU’s top choice. #9sports

IMO, Billy O excelled against shitty teams and couldn't win that "hump" game, and Mike McCarthy is still riding the legends of Favre and Rodgers. This league is a total copycat league, and much the same with people who hire coaches/execs from the "Patriot Way" find out, it's all in who you have as a QB that makes or breaks you (generally).

I really don't think he calls any plays. It's never been reported that he calls plays, he basically said in that ESPN article that he doesn't call plays. Both Doug Pederson and Matt Nagy were brought up multiple times about how they called the plays for KC in some games. This has never been the case for EB and if he were to call the plays I think it'd be brought up, because it'd enhance his resume. [Reply]
