Matt Ryan is on the decline while Watson just put up an amazing year and isn’t going away anytime soon.

Eric Bien(i)emy's next job speculation, shut out again

I agree, which is enticing for any coach, but it's a total rebuild around him that is going to take much longer than a traditional rebuild with no premium draft capital this year and no cap room. If I'm EB, I'm looking elsewhere.

Will EB have the luxury of being picky? This is a guy who was passed over after winning a SB last year and now has to compete for jobs with several hot (younger) coordinators and probably several high profile college coaches. I love me some EB but it seems like NFL front offices are having the same struggle with him that some of us did - how much of KC’s success was because of him versus Reid and Mahomes?
Benjamin Allbright has also been saying his name isn't as hot around the league as fans believe, mostly due to his past and character concerns. I find that to be pretty dumb, personally, but Allbright has a pretty good track record of being dialed into these things.
Good points there. Arthur Blank did say that no job is safe in Atlanta after firing Quinn.
EB with the Chargers makes sense, especially if he hires a nice DC. They have some nice pieces on offense and could innovate pretty well. Their defense just needs some better coaching and they could be a force as well.
so sorry jens, i will speak softer about shooting down an old criticism of a guy that has the best on the job training possible.
EB better take a job this year if it is available, and while being picky would be nice, it just is not how it always works out. Houston is a longer road, but they should be patient and Watson has lobbied to have him. LA Chargers would flourish with EB, and he would absolutely love to be out west. Atlanta is the win now job.
With the playoffs set, and the Chiefs on the 1st Seed Bye, can't EB interview this week and possibly be able to take a job now?
I actually think Gus Bradley would have been good there, but losing Ingram, Bosa and DJ, among others really hurt that defense this year and likely cost Lynn his job with all those late leads given up.

Chargers job is now open
Definitely not by far but they have some good young players.
Organizationally, it is the move to make right now in order to get an asset away from the divisional front runner, and a person that knows what to defend.
As I think about it, I bet that EB may not consider the Chargers as a way of loyalty to Andy Reid and the Chiefs?
Dude, are you serious? “No, thanks, guys. I just got passed over in two hiring circles but I have no interest in your multi million dollar job because I’d have to coach against a guy I get along with well for a year or two before he retires.”
Texans are notated above for their issues. Going to be extremely tough to build at team with no draft picks and not much cap room. Watson is about the only thing going for it at this time. I think they get worse before they get better
Lions have all sorts of issues, like always. A QB who is constantly mediocre, but maybe you can find a good running game to help?
Falcons have an aging QB but seem to have a good core and talent. I think Atlanta could possibly be in line with the Chargers.
Jets. Yikes.
Jaguars, if they open, might be up there with an upgrade at QB

Reid would never tell him not to take that job so it’s probably moot anyway.
I agree that you take the job if it is the job you want, the money you want and you have no other options. BUT, If EB has a choice, and its say Atlanta and the Chargers, I would see him take the Atlanta job. I have always been frustrated how the AFC West hires people from rivals within the division to constantly figure out what makes each other tick. EB owes Andy Reid a lot, and while it should never play into a dream job, if it can be avoided, maybe it goes down that way.
I think since Reid is the architect of that offense that taking EB away shouldn’t be seen as anything other than a marginal win.
Houston has a quarterback that just put up the second best completion percentage and qb rating while having by far the largest yards per attempt. He also had 33 touchdowns to 7 interceptions. That is an amazing year and coaches will want to have that guy around.
Report: Deshaun Watson, Justin Reid Want Eric Bieniemy As Next Texans Head Coach
Apparently, some players are playing favorites in H-Town.

Stafford and Detroit combo doesn’t seem attractive at all to me lol they are looking to move on apparently.
Yeah I don't see him sticking around. Too big of a salary hit and they need to be rebuilding. Worst QB situation of the bunch IMO
1. LAC - Foundational players everywhere and 13th pick to address OL
2. Atlanta - All the offense you could want and 4th overall pick
3. Houston - Franchise QB, but literally nothing else
4. Jacksonville - Exciting, young offensive skill players, #1 overall pick for a generational QB talent
5. Jets - Not a good roster, but tons of flexibility to build it from the ground up
6. Detroit - Stafford probably gone, mediocre talent across the board at best

Seems like Houston has a couple of good receivers with Cooks and Fuller. But I haven't watched them and am just going by the numbers
Imagine if Atlanta could get Devonta Smith with that 4th pick!!! Holy Crap would they have an offense ready to go for EB
