Texans request interview with Eric Bieniemy


Recommended Posts

The Texans’ failure to request a head coaching interview with Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy right after the end of the regular season reportedly rankled quarterback Deshaun Watson and the team is now trying to go in the other direction.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that they have requested an interview with Bieniemy for their opening.

Bieniemy will not be able to interview with the team until next week at the earliest. Bieniemy was available to interview with the Jets, Jaguars, Chargers, Falcons, and Lions last week because the Chiefs were on a bye, but he won’t be able to speak with the Texans until the Chiefs are done playing.

The Chiefs are the top seeds in the AFC and no one will be surprised if they make it back to the Super Bowl, which would make for a long wait for an interview.

All of that assumes that the request would be met with a positive response from Bieniemy given the team’s reluctance to ask for one before Watson’s displeasure became a matter of public discussion. They were in the process of hiring General Manager Nick Caserio and that likely changed the direction of their coaching search, but they did speak to Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady without having Caserio in place.

He's got to turn this down, right?

No way. Bieniemy is not turning down any HC job. Not after being passed over so many times. He can't be confident another shot will come around. He's the fat girl at the bar. If someone asks her home at the end of the night, even if she's seen him hit on everything else all night and strike out, she's going.

Bill O'Brien did some number on that team. At least we just suck. He burned a Super Bowl contender with the top WR and a Pro Bowl QB to the ground. Traded maybe the top WR in football and still don't have a first round pick for the 2nd straight year to show for it. Got a second rounder and a washed up RB with an untradeable contract.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?

I won't be surprised if the Texans ultimately don't hire him, then try to convince him to come aboard as an OC. 

Try to pitch him on "leave the nest and show your worth" type deal... see Matt LaFleur 

If bienemy is Really interested in being a HC... "this" Is what he Needs to do... he has to show that he can call his own plays & be successful... as of now all he's been is Andy Reid's clipboard holder & Everyone knows it.
