Andy Reid on Eric Bieniemy: Hire him right now (message to teams looking for a head coach).

[WarPanthers89]

While we are completely ignoring the Falcons game coming up, we can continue discussing head coaching candidates. Who is on your wish list, and could you see Eric Bieniemy as our new head coach? 

[Harbingers]

He doesn’t call plays.

I haven't really thought about it.

Everyone keeps focusing on who is the best OC. That's a different thing.

Exactly, most head coaches don't call plays

Well let’s hear it sir. You do a great job posting facts and leads but let’s hear who your heart desires.

He is a glorified quarterback coach. Seems to me he has no head coach experience at any level so why would you take a chance on him. Now if Mahomes came with him I would give him serious consideration.

[Snake]

I don't trust Andy Reid assistants. 

[Lucian]

It would seem that he has done a good job with mahomes, but that is andy reids offense. Who knows if eric is any good without andy. Same could be said for any belichek assistants.

I wouldn't hate it. I think he could be good.

Even though he's coached RBs most of his career. 

And does he have to have HC experience to be a good one?

If he was a real OC i might would be willing to give him a shot.  But i dont even consider him an off coordinator if he doesnt even call the plays. He just seems too inexperienced to me.

I was kidding. I've been stumping for Dan Campbell.

With regard to Bieniemy, he's stuck in kind of a bad Assistants who work with geniuses on their side of the ball always have the same problem. Everybody questions whether it's really them or the head coach they're working under.

Take Pete Carmichael in New Orleans, for example. Carmichael has been the Saints OC for a while now, and despite their annual offensive success, he doesn't get head coaching buzz because everybody thinks it's Sean Payton.

(and we'll, maybe it is)

What also doesn't help Eric Bieniemy is that somebody took a chance on the last guy who had his job and it's going poorly. The failures of Matt Nagy probably shouldn't have any actual bearing on Bieniemy, but they do.

So for me, I don't know. I imagine somebody will interview him and they'll make that decision for themselves.

[DeAngelo Beason]

Absolutely not.  He doesn't call plays.  That's an indictment whether Andy Reid wants to admit it or not.
