Well, guess we'll see if he leaves and the offense looks different next season.
Not really understanding why they would "quietly sign him to another year" with specific wording in his contract to call plays... and agree with Franchise, there's simply no amount of optics for having him back if he's not even under contract, much less wasn't under contract last season.
I don't doubt at all that a lot of that stuff happens... $500 million QB + coaches with egos. My Mahomes fan narrative was one of being really frustrated early in the season, throwing balls at the feet of receivers... and not having any trust in the offensive play calling could of course fit that narrative.
I wonder what happened between the Bills game and Bengals game though? All the talk about how quiet the headsets were at the end, and Kelce, Mahomes, and Hill figuring out shit on their own.... and then a week later, egos blow up? :-) [Reply]
It's pretty easy to disprove a significant part of the narrative there. Bieniemy contractually having the right to call plays. It's been stated on record, multiple times in interviews, that Reid is the primary play caller for the Chiefs. [Reply]

I don't know, but it wasn't one of Reid's best decisions.
Whatever positives EB brought, the negatives piled up this last year at a heretofore unseen level.
My guess is the guy thought he was going to little-dictator himself into a coaching job. Given his lengthy criminal history he doesn't seem to be the sharpest tool in the shed when making decisions. [Reply]

They called their own plays and won the game. Maybe this pissed EB off. It was bad optics that he would not get a head coaching job- so took control of the Bengals game and choked. [Reply]
