Can Eric Bieniemy and John Dorsey replicate the success of the Chiefs for the Texans?

If down in NRG Stadium, can Eric Bieniemy and John Dorsey bring a title to Houston? 

Barring any regression over the next five weeks, Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy will receive his chance as a head coach. More than anything, he’s earned it.

Bieniemy helped mold second-year quarterback Patrick Mahomes into an MVP during the 2018 campaign. A year later, Kansas City posted a second top 10 offensive finish and hoisted the Lombardi Trophy. If that wasn’t enough, Sunday’s 27-24 victory over the Buccaneers and a product designed by Bieniemy’s play-calling.

A 356-yard yard first half for Mahomes and a 269-yard day for Tyreek Hill is just the tip of what a high-tempo offense could be. Ultimately, being paired with the right general manager helps.

Bieniemy might have an upper-hand in one location.

According to FanSided Insider Matt Lombardo, former GM John Dorsey is looking to get back into the front office seat come next season. With multiple front-office positions opening, Dorsey could have the pick of the littler. Naturally, the duo’s work together in Kansas City should make Bieniemy’s interview a formality of crossing T’s and dotting I’s.

A foreground is essential to a team’s success, but where could the best place be? Bieniemy and Dorsey are used to mobile quarterbacks, so perhaps look no further than the Houston Texans for the ultimate destination for 2021.

Would the Texans rebuild just be updated?

Bill O’Brien, the former head coach and GM, was run out of town after an 0-4 start this season. With limited draft capital and plenty of impending contracts, it’ll be suave deals and easy signings to begin the tenure for these two if they land in Houston.

The difference between here and say Detroit? The quarterback is set for the future.

Deshaun Watson signed a four-year $160 million deal to remain with the franchise for the long haul. Keep in mind the former Clemson star will remain under his rookie contract until 2021, meaning this money doesn’t come into effect until 2022.

For all purposes, a quarterback is only as good as his protection. Laremy Tunsil fits the bill there. After trading away a pair of first and second-round picks, he’ll be under contract through the 2023 year after signing a massive extension prior to the start of the season.

Brandin Cooks should be kept around despite his large contract after a resurgent year. Currently, Cooks has 52 catches for 719 yards and three touchdowns, but he’s averaging a quality 13.3 yards per play.

With the injury concerns and now suspension of Will Fuller, perhaps the team can bring him back on a friendly deal to give Watson his own 1-2 target combination?

Dorsey’s knowledge of talent is impressive when looking back at his track record. Mahomes is the coup de grâce of talent, but he also drafted names like Hill, Baker Mayfield, Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt during his time in Kansas City and Cleveland.

Without any early selections, the Texans need a GM who isn’t afraid to take a risk on talented, but perhaps troubled name. While Antonio Callaway never hit in “The Land”, Hill has been Weapon X at Arrowhead.

Two of the toughest positions to draft are cemented permanently in Houston. Now it’s about trimming the fat and eating contracts on players who won’t be serviceable in Bieniemy’s system. Watson also possesses similar skills to that of Mahomes, making the transition smooth under shotgun snaps.

Consider it an expansion instead of a rebuild for the Texans. One year later, we could be talking about Watson as next to Mahomes in the race for QB1 and the AFC title.
