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

Understand, but if Kafka is willing to take another teams OC, maybe he believes that EB will not be leaving as Chiefs OC or he knows the Chiefs OC job is not a full responsibility OC position. Technically, Kafka probably is taking a better job than EB has right now
Its the Giants and they still have a ****ty QB who only they think can play.
 
Texans did some damage control. They wanted McCown. Saw how the winds was blowing then went with Lovie Smith.
Leave you racist ****ing bigot. The Texans hired lovie Smith because he's been to a super bowl twice. Once as coordinator once as head coach... hey John elway, yes please! Lol, it's seriously the lowest form of stupid how democrats don't see this. Hahahahaha. Wow

>inexperienced coach doesn't get hired= racist bigot
>went to super bowl twice = damage control.

Lol. I really do hate you people

Lovie is not a good coach. He is a good man. Both can be true. Had one good run with Urlacher and that D. His record speaks for itself.


Regular season:NFL: 89–87 (.506)
Postseason:NFL: 3–3 (.500)
Career:NFL: 92–90 (.505)
NCAA: 17–39 (.304)

Yeah I get it, you prefer black men don't get jobs so you can cry racism and feel good about being an "ally" but you have no problem pulling out a couple twisted facts when it suits you so you can collect your wounds. He was coach of the year in 05 and won the nfc north three times. The record you posted looks a lot better considering two years at Tampa and went 8-24 with mike glennon and Jameis winston. Wasn't @LesGrossman was his ****ing qb in the sb? You who didn't take Brian U to a super bowl all 10 year prior? Every single other coach.

The Texans hired Lovie Smith because they couldn't sell McCown.
 
I've been pretty outspoken about how black coaches are under represented among coordinators, HCs and GMs. One of the observations which folks made a legit complaint about is that black coaches were more likely to only get 1 chance while you saw white coaches who didn't light it up getting jobs as retreads. It's a positive development to see a black retread HC in the NFL. Lovie was excellent in Chicago, but that encore in Tampa made me think he was done. Dude gets teams competitive even though he's never had more than a middling QB to work with.
 
Question for you- now that the Texans have hired lovie Smith and not Josh mccown, are you man enough to admit you were wrong? Perhaps your worldview isn't 100% correct? Maybe every negative experience for a minority isn't 100% due to malice or bigotry? What if jumping to conclusions is a bad idea? Because sometimes people like Brian flores, a man with less total experience than vic fangio had years as a coordinator, in which flores had one, are actually just bad people. Have you ever considered you're the bad guy and the good guy is the one saying let's look at the facts: The man is claiming to be a victim of racism because he was passed over for a man with overwhelming experience, hired THAT VERY SAME ****ING YEAR, fired after three years (by a black gm btw), then not hired immediately after being canned? Huh... Next time I go to the eye doctor, I'll ask her if colorblindness makes the sky look green for some people. I'll get back to you

The Texans hired Lovie Smith because they couldn't sell McCown.
Thanks for answering the question without linking to the question. Obviously you didn't look in the mirror...I'll be quick and clear.

You are such a low form of existence, I don't consider you human. You are so stupid and cowardly, your presence gives me a disgust response like smelling ****. Communist bitch

I would say with Hiring Smith in Houston is that is a team that has some very obvious cultural issues. When you see a team lay down and get beat which they did multiple times this year, when you see quality players doing everything they can to get out of town, when you see an obvious disconnect between management, coaching, and players like they seem to have then it can be argued that nothing is going to change until the team culture changes.

It seems to me that even when he hasn't won Lovie Smith has always been respected by those around him. His history is to leave teams in a good place for his successors.

I’m convinced more than ever that the majority of people who call others communists and socialists don’t actually know what those words mean.
 
i'll do the commie pinko name calling around here thank you very much. none of the name calling has anything at all to do with equity.

You those twisted facts are literally just stats. He did make a super bowl. He cashed that chip in twice already for more chances and crashed and burned both places. Bill Obrien won 3 division titles in 6 years, which is less than Lovie, with guys like Tom Savage! You gonna cape up for him?
Not that you care bc you’re determined to be a victim but I think the Texans should have kept Culley as their coach. They put him in a terrible position not expecting to win and he overachieved.

Haha. Everyone who says the words communist or socialist is Jerry Falwell!!!

Now, you're a subhuman degenerate, so I couldn't care less whether or not you think I can define a horse. Nor do I care to educate you BC your ignorance is truly hilarious. Just know that applying rules for radicals doesn't work when you're opponent has read it too.

Add “radicals” to the list, because I’m convinced you don’t know what that means either.

Who hurt you so badly?
 
Back to the main subject line. Bieniemy must be a really bad interview. Has a person been interviewed as many times as he has and not gotten the job.

He may want to hire someone to prep him for these interviews. What he is doing is not working.

Have you tried the politics forums? I think you'd really enjoy them.

Good point. But I go back to this interview Eric had with midnight. I found Eric to be very well spoken and engaging.

You need to calm down with the whole Texan's hired Lovie Smith so racism is over thing.

I think it is most likely a combination of things - Some Bad interviewing, some perception that he's not the reason KC hums along on Offense, him being a candidate too many times so it has gotten stale, and some of the interviews being complete shams.

i think the last one is the most damning of the league- roll the guy out for a bunch of interviews that weren't actually going anywhere and then suggest the guy has interviewed too many times.

once the discovery is made public in the flores case, i suspect we are going to see some real ugliness. interviewing a guy because of the rooney rule without any real intention of hiring him is a super bad look and super bad business.

I agree. But it is an inevitable consequence of the Rooney Rule. The league might be better off if they did away with the Rooney Rule altogether.

The check the box interview is the big issue here.

The Rooney rule was supposed to give Black coaches an opportunity to move up and for a while it looked like it was working. Interestingly enough the franchise that was owned by Dan Rooney who the rule is named for has had tremendous success with Mike Tomlin, a Black head coach who has had strong and consistent support from the franchise. They have also benefitted from hiring Black people in multiple other positions in the franchise.

Now the are in the process of hiring a new GM and among the candidates they will interview is Louis Riddick who has been working for ESPN but before that was a director of pro personnel for the Eagles.

He may end up with the job as the Steelers have a history of providing opportunity but his being a candidate only highlights the fact that the league is not providing the kind of opportunities for minorities to have the opportunities to develop the resumes that make them qualified candidates.

Why has EB had so many interviews. Part is that he has been the frequent check mark interview for jobs that have already really been filled. An example is the Saints opening which everyone knew was going to go to the head coach in waiting Dennis Allen.

The problem comes when teams have to interview a person of color and there are only a couple of coordinators who are Black and maybe a couple more who are high level assistants. The real failure in the system is that they aren't finding and developing coaching candidates.

And along with this they aren't finding and developing people of color as candidates for GM jobs and the other top level positions.

You aren't going to have a lot of success hiring for top positions when you haven't developed significant numbers of candidates in the developmental process.
 
If he doesn't get the Saint job. It will never happen. Should consider taking a College gig. Build up the resume that way. The NFL have a major problem. Josh Mcdaniels can swindle himself into another job after the disaster in Denver but EB can't get a HC job?

Can EB articulate a franchise’s on-field vision and the steps (coaches, players and schemes for three phases) to result in a winning enterprise?

That’s my biggest question and could perhaps be the underpinnings of being a “bad interview”.

dunno.

The above is not a prerequisite for less qualified white dudes. Unclear why it should apply to EB.
 
Kind of interested about why EB feels the NFL is his ultimate destination, rather than a college job at this point?

College would have paid him more even a few years ago, based on what is likely a $1M a year salary right now. If Dorrell can get what he got, EB would have likely been getting paid at least $3M from any typical college program.

I think he is at a big crossroad
