Yeah. But if Rodgers leaves GB then Cousins might be the best QB in the Division. It's not a horrible situation.Mahomes to Cousins.

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

he was smart to stay away
EB gets KC? He’s not next in line is he?
I don’t think this is something that is more likely than not to happen, but it definitely could happen.
Georgia?
If you can’t speak eloquently than you are not going to be an NFL head coach no matter what color you are.

So bears just hired a man of color as their new GM. He was in KC THE ENTIRE TIME EB WAS. He’s seen behind the curtain. He’s seen who does what with that KC offense. He’s seen them in their natural state, not in a nerve racking interview process. He chose to take the colts DC over EB. That tells me all i need to know.
"eloquently" might be a higher standard than required, but you make a good point. HC responsibilities include holding press conferences, reporting to billionaire owners, doing PR for the team, communicating their strategy / vision to players as well as assistant coaches, communicating player skill needs to the GM and "working the refs". HCs also participate in groups like the Competition Committee. A person who doesn't verbally communicate well is going to struggle in all those areas.
that being said, I haven't heard Bieniemy speak recently (maybe ever) and can't comment on his specific verbal communication skills.
Given that almost 60% of the NFL are Black men, if I was an owner, I'd bias toward hiring a Black HC, on the (possibly naïve) assumption they'd relate better to more of the players. I'm sure there are some racist owners leaning against giving opportunities to Black HCs, but I also doubt the majority of NFL owners are racist. These are people who wanted to get into a business where over 50% of their employees are Black and where most of their labor expense goes to making Black guys into millionaires -- that doesn't intuitively seem like something many racists are going to venture into.
That's been a big topic on the radio this morning. It might just be speculation, couldn't tell you, I don't know the inner workings of the Bears organization. Short version is whether the GM was the one who made the hire or someone higher up made it for him. Again, no idea if that's how it went down. What I do know is, they better find someone who can work with QBs, Fields needs the help.

Supposedly he had his pick of GM jobs. Hard to believe he’d take one where he didn’t control the head coach pick.
I'd agree, I wouldn't in his shoes.
Fair Point!
Another fair point
That's three fair points. But I still don't think racism has anything to do with EB not getting a job.
Spanish Inquisition on 1, ready, break!!
Didn’t quite know where to put this snippet from an article discussing Stephen A. Smith’s reaction to the Broncos’ hire. The assertion is from the article’s author not from Smith:
“For Bieniemy, despite his offensive prowess, being on the staff at the University of Colorado during their recruiting scandal in the early 2000s could be hurting his chances of getting a head coaching job.”
That’s an astonishing assertion.

Stephen A. Smith Blasts Denver Broncos for Hiring White Coach Over Eric Bieniemy: 'As a Black Man, it's Sickening'
Despite vowing to do better, the NFL has a diversity problem with its head coaches and Stephen A. Smith put the Denver Broncos on blast to exemplify the issue.

He was comparing resumes, it wasn’t just about the Broncos failing to hire a black coach. The article’s focus is not really the same as the conversation’s focus.
But the point that struck me was the sentence I quoted, as being insane (and had really nothing to do with anything Smith said): who is thinking about Bieniemy’s time coaching at CU AND blaming him for that made-up recruiting scandel that had nothing to do with him. THAT’s why he isn’t getting a HC job? WAAA?
NFL teams want to win and they want to win with a great QB and high scoring offense. EB is the OC for the most prolific offense in the league over the last handful of years and has been interviewed by half the league over that time. I’m sure each team is just racist, though.
