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.

It's pretty clear why people are pushing for Bienemy, but it is what it is. If he gets passed up we won't hear the end of it all offseason.
As others have mentioned, jackasses like Gase and Patricia have gotten jobs, someone just needs to bite the bullet and give Bienemy a chance.
One difference between Bienemy and Nagy or Pederson (or Kafka for that matter) is that he never played QB and he was never QB coach or a passing coordinator. I think that all else equal, that would be something I'd want as an owner in today's league.
Bienemy seems like his strength is as a motivator. He'd have to prove to me that he could be all the things you'd want out of an OC as head coach or that he could be a CEO type with a strong OC and DC. [Reply]

I think code for "not a great interviewer" means his answers for multiple DUIs which got him banned from CUs campus for awhile and being possibly involved in a sexual misconduct scandal are a tough sell. [Reply]
He has to have a fatal flaw in interviews that makes teams think he would be Peter principled into the job. He did tons of interviews and we would have probably heard by now if he got one of the head coach jobs out there. [Reply]
