LeSean McCoy is trading hot takes for views, and this time he’s dragging the newly-hired Commanders coordinator Eric Bieniemy.

Chiefs fans are not going to like LeSean McCoy after this one… You know that one friend you have that will argue with you over anything, just to make themselves feel like they’ve won a verbal spat? That’s McCoy as a broadcaster.

McCoy is known for getting in the spotlight the wrong way… He got Bears nation on his bad side for sharing his opinion of Justin Fields. He was looked down upon for a take related to Colin Kaepernick’s unemployment. Also, he once left a 20-cent tip for a $60 bill. This isn’t Europe, Shady.

Now, he’s back in the lowlights for spouting out a highly disagreeable take on Eric Bieniemy, who was recently hired as the Commanders assistant coach and offensive coordinator after helping lead the Chiefs to plenty of success over the last several years.

 LeSean McCoy boldly questions Eric Bieniemy’s value

“What’s his value? What makes him a good offensive coordinator?” McCoy asked on a tv spot.

Shady went on to talk about other coordinators and coaches he’s worked with in Buffalo (Brian Daboll) and Philadelphia (Andy Reid, Doug Pederson) and suggested with those guys, he can tell that they’re good coordinators, but he doesn’t get the same feel based on his experience while working with Bieniemy.

"“I’ve been in the rooms where he’s coaching. And, he has nothing to do with the pass game at all, right? When the plays are designed, that’s Andy Reid. When you talk about offensive coordinators, I can tell you what makes Brian Daboll with the Giants a very, very good coordinator. I can tell you with Andy Reid or Doug Pederson. But when I [get] asked about Eric Bieniemy, what makes him good?”"

McCoy played in Kansas City for just one season over three years ago.

His point primarily hinged on the fact that Reid has more of a voice in the room than Bieniemy, saying, “When we watch the film of practices and we correct… [Bieniemy] doesn’t talk in there, Andy Reid talks in there.”

While McCoy did wish Bieniemy success in Washington, he said that he’s skeptical just because of how much more responsibility he’ll be taking on.

"“He has no real responsibility. Now you go from the Chiefs where you can hide behind Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid. Now you go to the Washington [Commanders] where you gotta call plays, you gotta run the meetings? You gotta ruin the installs?”"

The idea that Bieniemy has hidden behind Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, and the brilliance of the Chiefs offense and personnel is something that has been said by more than just McCoy. But this is by far the loudest anyone has said it.

McCoy’s entire point is that he hasn’t observed Bieniemy do the things other strong offensive-minded coaches and coordinators typically do. It’s an unfair scale to judge him on simply because he hasn’t yet been afforded the opportunity to do those things. It’s also misinformed considering McCoy didn’t play under him for long. Bieniemy was also in just his second season as offensive coordinator when he and Shady crossed paths.

Bieniemy has been passed on for head coaching jobs year after year despite head coach Andy Reid giving public recommendations for him. Reid worked closer with Bieniemy and for longer than McCoy did, so his word holds a bit more weight.

Bieniemy is finally getting the chance in Washington to show what he can do.
