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.

Seriously though, he was interviewed this morning on "Good Morning Football" and came across as a pretty cool dude. He's a huge Metallica fan to boot.
So is it me or is the new minority hire draft pick rule kind of screwy in its implementation? I don't think it's going to produce the desired result the NFL wants.
It rewards teams for promoting their coaches of color and developing them through their organizations so that they can become better qualified and have a better chance of getting head coaching jobs.
The problem is there's no reward for the teams making the head coach hire. If institutional racism really is the reason why so many of these guys don't get jobs, then what incentive do owners have for changing that pattern of ignoring the qualifications of minority candidates? In fact they have even LESS incentive to do so now. Another team is going to benefit from you picking their guy. And you get diddle squat.
It's only been year one, but thus far, if the Texans don't hire Bieniemy, Frazier, Caldwell, or someone else, this coaching carousel with the rule in place will only have produced one coach of color to replace a fired black coach.
And who knows if it will get any better in future years. Personally, I doubt it will. [Reply]

All of this bitching and moaning is going to be irrelevant when the Texans hire Bieniemy though. And it’s entirely possible that he preferred the Texans over the Lions anyways.
Yeah, the true test is when EB ultimately gets the job. But teams that hired an inexperienced coach better hope and pray EB is an outright bust because deservedly their hires are going to be scrutinized to death. I'm not talking about Saleh or Stefanski or even Mccarthy. But if EB is even average and a guy like Campbell, Staley, or sirianni are a bust... Those GMs better watch out for their job security.

I agree completely. While 3rd round draft picks are a nice consolation prize for losing a trusted coordinator or coach, 3rd round draftees bust at a 75%+ clip.
If I'm an owner, I'll take hiring the right coach over a 3rd rounder going to a potential rival. [Reply]

I imagine the bigger picture is it will encourage teams to fill their pipeline with diverse assistants and front offices who can groom future GMs. Will especially help front offices which are a lot less diverse assistants. And if front offices are more diverse, you might see coaching become more diverse too. On the coaching front, bet you see a lot of diverse assistants get coordinator gigs. [Reply]

Yeah, this is a big part of it.
The new rule really isn't supposed to increase head coaching diversity. It's supposed to encourage teams to hire racially-diverse assistants and develop them.
If they want to increase head coaching hires, that will likely require additional measures. [Reply]
Heard from a source today that Colts DC Matt Eberflus did a great job with his interview for the Texans head coaching job, and he’s considered an early favorite

Josh McCown has strong leadership traits and intends to get into coaching eventually. He's been rumored as a possible NFL head coach during previous stops. But his plan has been to watch his sons play high school football the next few years. Obviously, this would change the plan.
