Since Eric Bieniemy took over as offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2018, they have the No. 1 scoring offense and No. 1 total offense in the NFL. His lack of head coaching interviews is a problem for the league.

Super Bowl-winning coaches like John Harbaugh and Doug Pederson, plus coaches who have turned teams around like Sean McDermott and Matt Nagy. Compared to, say, the Bill Belichick coaching tree it's even more successful.

And yet Belichick assistants keep getting hired — some of them right after the Super Bowl, which brings us to the second assertion: that teams don't want to wait Bieniemy because Kansas City might still be playing for a few more weeks.

Again, nonsense. Go back two cycles ago and you'll find assistants for the Patriots (Brian Flores) and Rams (Zac Taylor) who were named head coaches. The year before that, OC Frank Reich was hired by the Colts after leading the Eagles to a Super Bowl title. The year before that, OC Kyle Shanahan was hired by the 49ers after he helped the Falcons reach the Super Bowl.

Teams wait for the best candidates all the time. Because, you know, hiring a coach that helped a team reach the Super Bowl is a good mark on a resume.

There's no guarantee that Bieniemy will succeed as a head coach, but there is ample evidence that he deserves a chance.

Maybe the Texans will end up doing the right thing. They've added Bieniemy to their list of head coach interview candidates, quite possibly as a means of repairing their relationship with QB Deshaun Watson.

But if Bieniemy, who is Black, is passed by again this offseason the NFL will be left to confront an ugly truth: race still plays a role in how a lot of teams view candidates and keeps minorities from getting jobs they deserve.

Yea Bomani Jones bought up the fact that maybe dude.......just ain't it in the interviewing room.
That's probably why it took so long for Ewing to get a gig too. You'd think at some level results outweigh presentation but I imagine communication skills and the ability to sell your vision counts alot during these interviews.

Can’t interview for shyt

There's a poster on a Jets forum I'm on that is plugged in (has connections to people within the Jets as well as around the league). Apparantly Bieniemy has interviewed poorly with everyone. This is what he said...

I think people hear "he did not interview well" and immediately assume that means something is wrong with the guys character. False.

Bieniemy does have a few skeletons in his closet, but that's not the problem. He's a good guy and people like his personality, but he doesn't display the qualities needed to be a head coach. He's doesn't articulate his vision well, doesn't provide detailed ideas how he would coach/scheme for specific players, gives unimpressive scouting reports, and doesn't have a clear agenda. He's a "CEO-style" candidate who lacks CEO qualities; a figurehead.

It sucks for him because the PR people want him to get jobs so badly, but he's just not qualified.

I have thought since last year that what will ultimately happen is he won't get hired, he'll go somewhere else and be an OC, and if he can prove himself on his own then teams may be more willing to minimize the interview process.

I think it's a combination of factors. He hasn't interviewed well for 2 years in a row now, and it's mainly because he doesn't have a plan and he doesn't. Ask him to detail how he'd handle a specific adversity and he's a deer in headlights. Ask him to scout a player's strengths and weaknesses and how to get the most out of a player, he basically just uses hyperbole, smiles, and laughs his way through it without truly identifying anything of substance. He's a salesman who uses the buddy approach, but doesn't know the product he's selling inside and out. That's not to take away from things he does well, but he does a very poor job of articulating it. And it's not because he's not smart; he's extremely well spoken, just lacks the skills needed to be a head coach. He's a limelight personality akin to Hue Jackson without being a QB guru.

You can't trust a guy to draft a QB if he doesn't have a plan for that QB, or any other player for that matter.
