LeSean McCoy goes off on Eric Bieniemy

[Mr. Scot]

Wow

I know we interviewed Bieniemy when Rhule got the job. Always wondered how that went.

There's a good reason EB has not sniffed a HC job, despite being minority status and the league's Rooney Rule.

I've heard that before, and apparently it's something Ben Albright brings up frequently.

(I haven't followed Albright that much in the past but maybe someone who has can elaborate)

Past discussion has been about his criminal record but McCoy seems to think it's more about what kind of person / coach Bieniemy is.

So, maybe, the reason he hasn't gotten a HC job is because . . . he isn't a good candidate?  What voodoo is this?

Obviously there is something looming in the background there that is keeping teams from signing him on...

...what is it?

Sounds like hes not the nicest guy to work for.  Probably belittles and demeans the players a lot.

Yeah, sounds like he might be one of those old school coaches that is overtly abusive/negative. 

This adds up to why he hasn't been elevated to HC status. It would make a lot of sense.

I still need a more reputable source than a disgruntled malcontent. Pot and kettle situation is very possible and I would guess probable. 

He was a backup they leaned on after the Bills dumped him to get through injuries early in thr year if I remember correctly.

Meh, hardly definitive and given the source it's certainly not a 'fact' because Shadey said so lol

Does that mesh with Reid, though? Reid doesn't seem like that type.

He's right in at least one sense though. Bieniemy keeps getting interviewed but not hired. Gotta figure there is some reason for that.

Yep but again that source is suspect AF.

Is he abusive or just told McCoy to STFU? Catering to divas and being a butthole is not the same. I don't know, I just have more questions after this.

Edit: If it is the diva route then he will never be a HC because every billionaire owner is a giant diva...

It's hard to say. This is just one guy saying it. If more guys step forward and say the same thing publicly, I guess you have the answer.

Yeah, it could all just be sour grapes. But, there is something up about why EB hasn't been hired. If there were NO other minority coaches getting hired, I would lean towards good ol boy network but has happened a couple of times since EB was on the radar.

There is definitely something up.

Reasonable to question...

I know Ben Albright has been mentioned as somebody who's spoken about this. I haven't seen any of that but maybe others have.

Absolutely without a doubt. This is not definitive tho. Whatever it is it sounds like he doesn't play well with some and that includes Owners...
