Broncos Want To Interview EB
 

https://arrowheadaddict.com/2022/01/...enver-broncos/

The Denver Broncos are the first team to show official interest in Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy for a head coaching opening this offseason. NFL reporter Ian Rapoport says George Paton has reached out for an interview to potentially take the place of the recently fired Vic Fangio.

The Broncos should be well-versed in what Bieniemy might have to offer as a head coach after playing against him and the rest of Andy Reid’s staff twice a year since the 2013 season. Bieniemy has worked his way up the food chain in Kansas City, going from longtime running backs coach to offensive coordinator for the last four seasons—each of which has featured Patrick Mahomes as the team’s starting quarterback.

Bieniemy has been a hot commodity in the potential head coaching circuit for each of those seasons. In the first year, it was easy to overlook the jobs that passed him over for his lack of experience as a coordinator. By now, however, he’s put in considerable time with a winning franchise and comes with years of experience next to one of the NFL’s most storied coaches ever in Andy Reid.

For the Broncos, the shift from Fangio to Bieniemy would be a big shift away from the defensive-minded leader to someone who is so charismatic on the offensive side. Bieniemy, who is 52 years old, has made no secret of his desire to coach a team of his own.

Before joining the Chiefs, Bieniemy served as the offensive coordinator at the University of Colorado, his alma mater, for a couple of seasons. Before that, he was assistant head coach and running backs coach of the Minnesota Vikings.

You don't say.

Get the Rooney rule handled early. Cheaters!

If he gets hired do the Chiefs still get draft compensation

Oh no! Anyways.

Good. Take him. Just don't let him take coaches with him.

EB deserve better than the ****ing Donks

Good. We need a new OC anyway.

Token interview

They already interviewed a black guy so maybe cut the token narrative





That said they should hire him because I think he's going to be bad.

Indeed.

Seems like the perfectly Denver thing to do. LMAO

Really hope EB lands somewhere that I can root for him. Also needs to go somewhere that has a better QB situation.

Bring back Nagy

Am I crazy to think that if I were a Donk fan that I'd be all over getting Brian Flores in there then throw the bank at Houston for Watson?

Nagy or Peterson would return...

I thought Flores was a good coach. Hope he lands somewhere else. But….. Denver will have a top shelf QB when the season starts next year. So they could land a top coach. Just hope it’s not Rodgers as the new QB.

How much does EBs issues from college are holding him back? The drunk driving and then getting banned from the Colorado campus for a year. Not sure what it is or what the perception is

Please take him, please

No way EB would want to face Patrick Mahomes twice a season. He will likely go out of division maybe Bears.

For ****s sake. Why?

Doubtful.

We need the pics more than we need any OC not named Andy Reid.

I hope they get him I don't think Binemey is all that. The success is Reid/HOF coach. Give us those picks and keep Harbaugh out of the division

This. Promote Kafka and groom the next up and coming coach at the QB coach position

Is there anyway we can split the draft compensation with them?

Trade them a third for a practice squad guy?

Take him! Next OC up! :thumb:

"It's all about the fundamentals!" PLEASE enjoy Donkeyland!

Don't think this will happen anyway, but if it does, EB should make sure it's in his contract that he gets to choose his assistants, otherwise, he should tell them to go pound sand.

Peterson was getting kicked out when he left, not a chance.

Sounds like they have a strong interest in Flores.

EB going to Denver with Rodgers and Adams joining. They would be favorite right away.

What gets me about the whole process is, I don't understand why they just don't make it so that nobody can be contacted until after the Super Bowl. That would be fair. I don't see why trash teams looking for a HC, like the Broncos, should be able to interfere in any way with a winning team's post season preparation. Just wait until after the Super Bowl for all of it.

EB was in Minny when Paton was asst GM and Childress HC. So was Brendan Daly.

I had forgotten they interviewed Flores same year as Fangio. I’ll bet he’s the leader in the clubhouse right now. I don’t know if he’s the best pick or not, but I would rank him higher than EB and several others.

Depending on how big of an asshole he really is and how big an issue he has with relationships. Because of that I could see him anywhere from A hc candidate or back to being a LB coach. All depends on how he is to work with. He can definitely coach but has issues

Same could be said about Adams choosing to go to KC instead, and taking a team friendly deal to do so. It’s fun to make-believe!

Kinda tough when the Super Bowl is now played in mid-February. NFL teams have to compete with college programs as well as each other in the search for a head coach. So if you make rules that people can't interview you are punishing coaches on successful teams as well as handicapping teams searching for a coach. I'm really not that worried if EB does an interview here and there. Andy and staff will have the game plan ready to go next Sunday regardless.

Yeah, so many factors. I think they're doing the best they can and better than they did years ago with the process.

As a Chiefs fan I wish he would go to the NFC so I can root for him. He is easily the most successful offensive coordinator in Chief's history so hopefully he lands in a good spot.

Wonder why that is the case.

Why would Flores want to go to Denver?

Any HC candidate should be leery of going to Denver because of their ownership issues. All of it could be blown up in a year.

Again, there are only 32 of these gigs... about a half dozen open up each year. The ownership issues will be resolved one way or another. They have a good defense and strong talent. They need a QB and better coaching.

But, you're right ... why would Flores want to look there.

I do not think so, since when assistant coaches go interview other teams and get compensated for it if hired?

An assistant would be stupid to leave Andy for anything other than a head job.

He produces head coaches like division titles.

He really doesn't.

There's a reason he's not getting these HC vacancies. He's going to get Peter Principled as soon as he gets a shot at the big chair.

EB is a position coach; a fire and brimstone leader who demands the respect of his players. But I've seen very little to indicate he's the sort of organizer and tactician required to be a good HC or even a top notch OC.

And I suspect some of that is coming through in the interview process.

If he gets an offer anywhere, he should take it.

If only this weren't the Rooney rule I would be excited for him.

Yep! Damn donks are requesting interviews with half the league. EB has no real shot here.

Hey, I hope like hell he gets a job. The draft picks would be great as would the ascension of Kafka (or return of Nagy) to the OC role.

And it never hurts to broaden the Andy coaching tree; relationships are huge in the NFL.

I just don't think he'll be terribly successful. Maybe he can be a smarter Dan Campbell and have guys playing hard for him to grit and grind his way to 8-10 wins/yr.

But I don't see much ceiling here at all. Guy's in his 50s and has never been a HC at any level. I just don't see him amounting to heck of a lot as a HC.

I'm hoping he goes to Minnesota.

100% all of this.

Fans of the Chiefs, Raiders, and Chargers hope the Donks hire EB.

Lot of veterans on that squad.

I'm not sure a noob coach will be able to establish himself all that well in a new locker room with a veteran QB, WRs and defense.

Some of those speeches that get attention here in KC will just engender eyerolls in an established lockerroom.

Miami is probably the best fit for him. Lot of young talent he can try to mold and it seems sometimes like Tua's biggest problem is that he doesn't seem engaged. EB could at least change that.

Oh yeah, who might that be?

I say Minnesota because he's got familiarity with their ownership but Miami would be a good spot for him. He could work with Tua, or Watson if they want to trade for him.

I do not think the ownership is going to bring Bieniemy back after letting Bieniemy go

Hire him
Please
At some point Reid will retire and I fear them getting politicked into hiring him

Since 2020, the NFL made a resolution that rewards teams for developing minority head coaches. If a team has a minority assistant coach that gets hired as a head coach they get free 3rd round picks for the next two years as a reward.

Our brains must be aligned today. Thius perfectly describes where I'm at.

For this reason alone I root for EB to get a head coaching gig.

Get EB out of here. He almost ruined Mahomes.

I'm interested in Kellen Moore. Extremely young, but a very good OC, good enough that he survived an HC change. I feel like he's a high-risk high-reward choice, and I don't want to be stuck in mediocrity with a Dan Quinn or the like.

I dunno... the team is loaded with talent and he's been there 3 years while they've had records of 8-8, 6-10 and 12-5. Yes, they've had a phenomenal 2021 ... losing to Tampa, Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders and Cardinals. Dallas was a 56 yard FG (as time expired) away from losing to the Chargers and being 0-4 vs the AFCW.

Cowboys had huge games against the Eagles, WFT, Panthers, Giants, Falcons... definitely took advantage of the scheduling. I don't think I believe in Moore just yet.

If im the Broncos i'd be interested in Urban Meyer.

Wrong, wrong, and wrong. But other than that, great post. :thumb:

EB will coach the Vikings next season.

It’s true that Moore has not proven himself yet. If he had though, he’d be #1 on every team’s list.

Just as a counterpoint, the 6-10 season had the following starting QBs:

Andy Dalton (9 games)
Dak Prescott (5 games)
Ben DiNucci? (1 game)
Garret Gilbert? (1 game)

Also, they had the #28 defense that year. Hard for an OC to have much success in that situation.

Is that just because you want them to keep going through coaches?

Urban Meyer is a garbage NFL coach that is so full of himself.

How?

im pretty sure that was sarcasm. :hmmm:

Am I in the minority? -- I think EB is holding this offense back. I don't see him as an offensive mastermind.
He is more of a rah, rah kind of coach. Those are needed but they are a dime a dozen.

by being a shitty coach that is tied to Reid's coattails

Agreed. I don't see him as overly valuable.

The "Why won't you just run the ball!!!" crowd believes EB helps balance out Reid's tendency towards the passing game.

Meanwhile Bieniemy will flat out tell you that he sees those quick screens and fast slant passes on RPOs as a 'run play' when he's charting their output.

Bieniemy isn't doing anything to override or influence Andy Reid. But hey, gotta run the football or something.

What specifically about him is "shitty?"

I dont really think our offensive coordinator matters much. Its Reids offense. You think it would even change if we brought in someone like Kirk Ferentzs son who runs a complete opposite offense at Iowa. We would still run the same shit.

DON'T YOU EVER BRING UP THAT POS ON THIS CHIEFS BOARD, NOT EVER! Or you will do the hardest time there is. No more protection from the guards. I'll pull you out of that one-bunk Hilton and cast you down with the sodomites. You'll think you got ****ed by a train.

Give him another month to think about it.

Which is exactly why the donkeys need him.
