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.

Think about this, How many former DC/HC hires call offensive plays ? Or ST coaches calling either offense or defense?
It's why they hire coordinators to work both sides!
A HC should be a leader of men with an overall general knowledge of football, mainly situational situations. He must be able to make good situational reactions based on the circumstances.
It's not just based on being able to call plays.
But if your HC isn’t a play caller, then your OC obviously needs to be, and if they’re a good one, they won’t be around long.
When your HC is a play caller, losing an OC isn’t nearly as bad. The Chiefs are the perfect example of this. [Reply]
Houston will have to wait: Based on the anti-tampering policy, the initial interview window for Eric Bieniemy closed Sunday, so the #Texans aren't permitted to interview him until the #Chiefs lose or after the Super Bowl, whichever comes first. https://t.co/6zMHwxmcFC

A buzz is building in league circles that Caldwell could be the next coach in Houston
I'll believe it when I see it. These stooges only hire their own stooges. It's McDaniels and daboll with everyone else a distance second for them. This is probably their way of floating rumors to make it sound like they're trying. Trying not to read into why their coaching short list all of a sudden includes a bunch of black guys. [Reply]
:-) Wouldn't put it past McNair and his stooges to wait until after the legal tampering period just so they can tell Watson they "tried" but don't want to lose who they end up hiring by waiting. [Reply]

The sudden buzz about Caldwell and all of a sudden Marvin Lewis, Frazier, bieniemy popping onto their short seems to point to this being blatant pandering. [Reply]
EB should at least publicly agree to the interview, that way the Texans cannot sign a new coach at least until after his interview, which won’t be able to happen for around a month most likely. If they sign someone before then, Watson has probably played his last snap for the Texans. [Reply]
In the last 50 years Caldwell is the only coach to have a winning record in Detroit. Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't want Caldwell, but he belongs in the Lions Hall of Fame. [Reply]

What the fuck?
Marvin Lewis interviewed with some teams in December and has interviewed with several others since.
Caldwell's name has been out there most of this season, especially considering how the Lions completely fell apart after firing him.
Frazier's name has been out there since December as well. [Reply]
