why the hell would he leave to join a shitty college team when hes got a good chance at getting an nfl hc job next year or next. thats just media needing to fill their quota on articles written [Reply]
It is pretty simple... which career path has a better chance of getting EB an NFL HC job... continuing to be the OC with Patrick Mahomes or struggling to win 5 games in the obscurity of a college football non-factor at Colorado... case closed. [Reply]

Yup, taken from a guy who got fired for refusing to hire anyone who didn't know bill parcells or bellichick. [Reply]
Nobody is going to turn down an offer at a bigger school in a bigger conference that's going to pay you twice as much and invest much more in the program. [Reply]
Bill Walsh always said, "if you want to be a head coach, go be a head coach." Eric Bieniemy should take the Colorado job if offered--and show the world, he can be a head coach. There are no perfect jobs--just jobs you make perfect.
I wonder if some inside the NFL hope he takes the job to assuage themselves of the guilt that the most qualified and accomplished candidate (regardless of skin color) was passed over.
I think he'll be a tremendous head coach in the NFL and if that's what EB wants, he'll ultimately get it and that franchise will be able to thank incompetent organizations like the Browns and Giants for it. [Reply]

Very simple question that even someone as consistently dense/stupid as yourself should be able to answer...
What path is more likely to result in EB becoming an NFL HC in 2021...
Remaining OC for a Super Bowl-caliber offense with Patrick Mahomes or going to be the HC at Colorado and likely winning no more than 4-5 games? [Reply]

I agree with Walsh in principal, but EB is not your typical coordinator IMO. He's in a system under Reid that produces successful NFL head coaches.
The timing of this opportunity is bad too, I have nothing against college jobs, but if I was going to take one it wouldn't be in fucking February. Almost impossible to build a staff let alone recruit. [Reply]

The Jets, the Falcons, the Bears, the Jags, maybe more.
I think the bottom would have to fall out of this offense for him not to land an NFL HC position next year. Given the success of Reid’s previous coordinators and that the Chiefs just averaged 39 points per game in the playoffs, it seems a foregone conclusion that he will have his pick of head coaching jobs next year.

I think it's a given that EB gets a NFL HC job next year.
However, it's not like he couldn't take a college HC job now, make that team great or at least very good in two or three years, and get a NFL HC job down the road. It's been done before.
But there's also another question: what does EB want?
One thing about college coaching jobs is that they are far more stable than NFL coaching jobs. EB could take that CU job, which probably would pay more than what he's getting now, and know that he wouldn't have to worry about getting fired for a dozen years.
The NFL doesn't offer that kind of stability. In today's NFL, he could take a HC job next season, and be fired a season or two later. [Reply]
