The Chiefs’ long recent playoff runs have surely hurt his candidacy for head coaching jobs, as the NFL sticks with antiquated interviewing rules. Bieniemy has surfaced as a candidate for the job opening at USC, which he was of course quick to dismiss.

There are ideas out there suggesting the media thinks more highly of Bieniemy then the league actually does as a top head coaching candidate, which may explain why he hasn’t gotten a job yet. The history of Andy Reid disciples as head coaches/offensive minds (Brad Childress, Matt Nagy, Doug Pederson) is also not  necessarily a great mark in his corner.

But any team who is looking to cultivate a young quarterback will have interest in making Bieniemy their next head coach as the 2021 season starts to wind down and “Black Monday” approaches. The Jaguars are moving quickly toward being on that list, if they aren’t there already. Maybe they can take advantage of a mulligan and make the hire they should have made last January, even if it means waiting for Bieniemy to be done in the playoffs.
