Please quit saying NFL teams should hire Eric Bieniemy. He has a lengthy rap sheet.

So you should never be allowed to work again?! And as others have said plenty of questionable behavior from current coaches or players. He is not being sought by the police right now nor being called out by present accusations. Move on.

As for does he call plays; he does though Ried does more of it. But the Broncos just hired a guy that hasn’t either recently. In their defense they have hired a Black Coach in the recent past and they hired this guy in part to try to help get Rodgers (so not so on board with Stephen A knocking them. It is a calculated move). Bieniemy and others like Leftwich deserve a chance especially leading top offenses and going to Super Bowls.

I wonder if Bienemy actually wants to be a head coach. I don't recall him ever stating he was pissed he didn't get a certain job. Maybe he just interviews lousily. I wish they could release a vid of one of his interviews, although I know that'd never happen.

The NFL certainly needs to either scrap or update the Rooney rule, because teams are barely paying it lip service, now.

I'd include, with the interviewee's permission, being able to release a video of interviews.

Also I'd give teams extra draft picks for guaranteeing a minority coach x number of years before axing them. No but outs, only coach has option to leave early.

The whole idea that, just because someone has a successful offense or defense while being the coordinator overseeing it, that person magically will be a successful head coach has been proven wrong over and over again. The skills required to be a good coordinator are very different from the skills to be a head coach. Moreover, a lot of these coordinators are just riding the coat tails of the true brains in the organization -- the head coach. How many more BB coaches need to flame out before teams catch on that it's BB and not his coaches behind the success? How many more successful coordinators need to flame out before teams catch on that the skills are different? The most comical hires are the retreads who stunk it up and then get rehired again. Was anyone surprised when Adam Gase failed miserably with the Jets after bombing out in Miami?

I have no idea if EB would be a good head coach. Maybe or maybe not. Being that he is morbidly overweight, my guess is that he doesn't present well. Maybe he cannot command a room. Half the country thought that Kavanaugh should not have been a SC justice because of made up claims from 30 or 40 years ago so it's not that crazy to think that maybe a multi-billion organization wouldn't want a guy with a long rap sheet (albeit mostly from 20 years ago) to be the face of it.

AmeriKKKa let a man with 20+ accusations of sexual assault be the face of the country but EB can’t be a head coach?

made up accusations (not a single one was corroborated) is not the same as actual criminal convictions. get it?

Bill Clinton was ages ago. Let it go.

I think Bienemy's success is more to do with Andy Reid, much like many assistants who left NE and Belechick. He has had interviews in the past for the head coach position and nothing came of it. I don't know why he wouldn't be happy to stay with KC and ride it out there.

He's an offensive coordinator who doesn't call his own plays.

Do you idiots really think EB goes to work everyday and say “Andy what are we going to do today”? Fools, smh. EB is heavily involved in game planning.

As you admitted you have no reason to say he shouldn’t be a head coach though complain just because he has helped to run an offense for two Super Bowl teams possibly three is meaningless because it is just the great head coach. How does anyone get a chance to become a head coach?!

The problem in the league is that despite saying they wish to have fair opportunities they have very few minority coaches. Whites coaches have been for years shown similar success under a great coach and gotten a chance. What does the Colts DC show that to you is more deserving than Biemieny or Leftwich? Odds have not seem to treat similar circumstances for white vs black assistant coaches. Sure maybe somehow they individually did not do well, but when a pattern emerges...

If you actually think all 20+ women were lying about Trump you are too dumb for me to continue this dialogue. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

When democrats have a long history of lying about these things.... Yes I absolutely think all 20 were lying. I KNOW they were lying because after the election they all suddenly quit caring...

Christine Blase Ford didn't remember Kavanaugh "raped" her until he was nominated to the Supreme Court by the wrong political party. Once her lies fell through she conveniently quit caring...

You're a fool.

If it's a Sunday that's exactly what he says...

I believe in redemption but it is one thing to be a coordinator and another to be a head coach. Look what got Jon Gruden fired. E-mails from years ago. Which franchise is going to hire as their head coach someone who grabbed a woman by her throat? Women's groups are going to go ballistic.

As Wejo said, he already has a job.

Are you serious? This hapepened 20+ years ago. No one is going to care. The last time I heard people were wanting teams to trade 4 1st rounders for DeShaun Watson. Save your outrage for that.

So was that Bieniemy or Reid calling the plays in the second half and OT today? If it was Bieniemy, I don't think his phone is going to be ringing too much this week. Kind of like how Leslie Frazier went from being the hot commodity after basically shutting out the Pats to a nobody after KC torched him. It blows my mind that the NFL allows teams to contact coaches coaching in the playoffs and OCs and DCs do interviews the week of playoff games.
