Wait.... For the first interview, they interview the black guy? Bad optics. Will this franchise never learn?

I would say that typing "the black guy" is poorer optics.

What kinda weak ass wide net is this

It's a Rooney rule wide net.  

Don't think so.  Bienemy's name is on every list I've seen of desirable head coaching candidates.  This interview should surprise nobody. Besides, it's not like our offense doesn't need reworking.

You guys aren’t happy with anything. It’s the first interview..relax.

Hey, we can interview more candidates and he can interview for more teams while the next few weeks go by and obviously he will be slated on our list of those interviewed as to offers for HC to be made. And at this stage it already satisfies the Rooney Rule.

I'm unsure about Bieniemy, but I find it pretty hysterical the unforgiving indictment of him that comes with the questions about how much share of the credit he deserves for 3 years of a dominant offense, while no such questions exist for everyone's newest favorite one-hit-wonder Daboll, who had an awful resume prior to this season, but is somehow given sole credit for Josh Allen dramatically improving during the very same offseason where they weren't even allowed to see each other, and Allen instead hired himself a private QB coach (Palmer).

I think there's skepticism on Bieniemy because Andy Reid is the offensive mastermind and it's his system they're running.  With Daboll, he's the offensive mastermind i think.  McDermott is the defensive guy.  If you watched the Bills this season, their offense just looks really good.  Sure it helps to have Diggs but you have to think his schemes maximized his players strengths.  Palmer also coached Darnold so that might put his influence in question.

Is he is CEO type of head coach? If no, advance two spaces. 

[Teflon-Don]

1. Matt Campbell

2. Brian Daboll

3. Jim Harbough ?‍♂️

4. Arthur Smith

...

6. Eric Bienemy

ouch. the last guy to point that out got trashed here.

 

 

[prime21]

I'm not as high on him as others.

 

I'm putting on my faith in JD's hands, who he himself is new to the job, to get the guy who shares his vision and get get this ship turned in the right direction.

Or Pat Fitzgerald 

@TNJetLove Fitzgerald, just don't think the "Living Legend" in Pat Fitzgerald would leave NorthWestern Football for the Jets!

But we would be SUPER DUPER LUCKY to ever get him!!!

some real morons around here

Has he ever called a play? Just one?

We are not looking for specialists on one side of the ball. As we see that has never served us well whether it is D or O since that is all a specialist knows and pays attention too, plus it causes both sides of the ball coaches to be at odds with each other i.e Rex/Schotty, Gase/Willliams, etc. and on and on and on. The teams with the Cowhers. Tomilsons, Billicks, Coughlins, etc. (all SB winners) delegated those duties as they should be done to OC and DC coaches that would call plays on each side while the HC coaches or manages the team as a whole. There are cases like Belicheck, Reid, etc. that specialize more on one side, but much more of the cases that succeed to get the ring are like I stated, a HC of the team, not a specialist. The question would then be can Bieniemy be one of those great HC coaches to be the true managers of the team. That is for JD to decide.

He may need to separate himself from Reid if he wants to get HC job. If he goes to another team as OC and lights it up, teams will be giving him blank checks to be HC. I wouldn’t hire him b/c he has an all star team and Andy Reid with him now.

I agree. SUPER risky. Theres just no way to know of the success was party because of him or in spite of him with that loaded team

Daboll had been a failure through his entire coaching career, until this complete cluster**** of an NFL season where virtually every non-Jets offense looked dominant, and a player's improvements that happened over the course of an offseason occurred without him actually being present.  So not sure how a guy who has a grand total of 4 good months to his name with a giant asterisk next to it comes with any less questions than Bieniemy.

That's not even getting into the fact that the supposed negative connotation of working under Reid is pretty laughable when comparing the success of his coaching tree to that of the always glamours careers of Belichick assistants.

[HighPitch]

I just hope that JD can see past the "impressive" interview talk. Guys like adam gase probably can talk that talk but not deliver on the field while others might sound like duds but really know how to run a team. Fake it till ya make it is a REAL thing so JD PLEASE be aware of this!

[Defense Wins Championships]

It's the Rooney rule. It had to take place. 

I want nothing to do with him. 

Mahomes. Hill. Watkins. Kelce. A+ O-Line etc. 

And it's really ANDY REID who calls the freaking plays. 

No fkn thnx you.

Typical Yankee fan response. Doesn't realize when his team has lost, and refuses to accept reality.

Please don't associate all Yankee fans with SOR I 

Thanks 

[varjet]

I just don’t get these corporate clowns thinking that they are going to find the right HC by casting a wide net, which basically gives an advantage to the assistant who had the most time to prepare, or is best at dispensing the baloney.  

They should know who the best qualified candidates are.   They should have already made offers to Harbaugh and Campbell.   JD should know what Coordinators “have it” to take the next step, depending on what the structure is.  An HC will to have it more together, and have support (i.e. the HC cannot also be a de facto coordinator) if the HC reports to the owner.  Even if the HC reports to the GM, better leader the HC is, the better off the Jets will be.  This team cannot have an HC who also tries to call half the plays. 

[fullblast]

The point was made elsewhere that NFL teams often keep their interviews with college coaches private, as not to negatively impact their recruiting efforts. Bear in mind that the Jets may well interview some of these college coaches but we may not know unless/until an offer is made.

My fault and good to know. He is in a league of his own.

[BigRy56]

This would probably be the splashiest hire

Eric Bieniemy is the most advanced CEO type coach in the NFL. He is the only coach in the NFL who has developed an intricate system that involves over 100 people working in concert to deliver donuts to Andy Reid at all hours of the day, anywhere in the country. The apparatus must be able to accommodate any city that the Chiefs travel to and delivery to hotels, stadiums and even while in flight. Bieniemy personally recruited and trained each member and honed their skills to ensure donut delivery in under 30 seconds no matter what.

Almost all teams get Rooney out of the way in case they encounter a HC they want, that wants to sign, but has another interview the next day.

As far as optics go, the Jets have hired 2 black HC's in their last 4 hires.

This is also an "off" week for Bienemy, so we can imagine many of the teams will interview him this week.

[NYJ1]

For me this is nothing more than satisfying the Rooney rule. Mr. Bienemy has used Pat Mahomes well. However, I wonder how successful he'd be without the star studded cast of the Chefs? I want a guy that can build this team from the ground up.

Confused.  Wasn't Steve Cohen supposed to buy you an All Star team by now?

Listen, if you're a Jets fan and don't understand after 25 years that our next head coach is going to be worse than the one who preceded him, you need to go grab a bottle of Jack and keep sipping it for the next month.

SAR I

Compared to your Yankees, he has.

[joewilly12]

Thanks for stopping by Eric Bieniemy here's your promotional NY Jets official rewards members bag. 

Enclosed is an autograph Le'Veon Bell mini helmet, Jamal Adams jersey and an 8x10 Sam Darnold picture and did I mention the Adam Gase coffee mug and NY Jets lanyard and from the NY Jets advisory committee a fake Rolex. 

Safe travels back to KC.

I would really be interested what these interviews are like.  I would like someone former GM or such to write up what they are like.  Perhaps I should just google it so I do not get reprimanded for not googling it?

I read a book where the author mapped out all the interview questions he would ask prospective head coaches.  Highly detailed.  Pretty sure it was Mike Lombardi's Gridiron Genius.  Pretty informative read if I got it right.
