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.
This stuff is making the rounds on social media...that his college stuff will hold him back. Teams don't wanna have to answer questions about why your new HC covered up sexual assault etc.
I’m not plugging my ears and refusing to believe it, but I also know how the NFL works. If the Falcons believe the Chiefs are going to go far in the playoffs and will have to wait awhile to hire their head coach, it could make some sense to feign disinterest in the guy everybody is thinking you’ll hire.
Again, I realize Bieniemy might very well be a bad interview, but he sure does check a lot of the boxes for guys you’d want as a head coach. Maybe that’s a deal breaker for the falcons, but I find it really hard to believe that no franchise is going to give him a shot [Reply]

I don't think so. Enough teams seem to be interested in college coaches and retreads that whatever is holding Bieniemy back here may just continue to do so. His best chance was probably the Texans because of Watson and he's not even getting the chance to interview there. [Reply]
What is the speculation about why he is bad in interviews? Does he show up in shorts? Forget people’s names? Doesn’t send a thank you note afterwards? It doesn’t seem reasonable that he doesn’t know football but it’s got to be something fairly consistent with him that others pick up on. [Reply]

Daboll will end up in LA or Houston.
There's still so many names being floated out there though. Saleh, Eberflus, Staley, Bieniemy, Daboll, Brady, and Smith are the obvious ones but you've got guys like Bowles, Lewis, and Caldwell getting interviews and then the college ranks after that. [Reply]
