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.

Someone needs to hire him so we can get our 3rd picks. Someone needs to tell Kakfa to do a 23 and me as well. Maybe he can find some minority blood in his family and get us some more picks when he gets hired. [Reply]
A big thing that a lot of people are failing to mention when they bring up Nagy and Pederson getting HC positions, but EB getting skipped over, is the fact that Nagy and Pederson were both given play calling duties. Both those coaches and Andy Reid have admitted that they called numerous plays for a half or an entire game. Bieniemy has never been the play caller for us.
I'm sure that's a pretty big negative mark in the eyes of these GMs/Owners. [Reply]

I’ve been saying it since last year, but it isn’t just about play calling duties.
It’s about EB being a RB coach, while those guys were QB coaches. Teams want a guy that can coach/develop QB’s these days. It’s really that simple. [Reply]

It's true.
Running backs are now considered disposable in the NFL. Promoting a good RB coach is just not as appealing. Bieniemy coming to town and fixing the running game isn't comparable to Kafka coming to town and fixing the passing game.
Not fair, but it's the reality of the current NFL. [Reply]
Lol who cares? If no one hires Bienemy it's great for us. Let him keep coming back year after year learning under Reid. We just won a SB with Bienemy as the OC, continuity is only a plus not a minus here. If Kafka gets hired I really wouldn't care much. Reid knows how to build a staff and a replacement of similar quality will turn up. Nothing to worry about here. [Reply]

We get a 3rd round comp pick this year and next if he becomes a HC, that’s why most of us care... [Reply]
