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

Same goes for the HC.

People do not need to like each other or get along with each other in order for them to work together in a successful manner. It helps, but it's not a requirement.
I agree, but your QB can’t be having vocal outbursts toward the HC on the sideline, where another coach has to come move the QB along.

And while HC/QB don’t need to be buddies by any means, I would argue there has a to be a very strong relationship with tons of mutual respect for it to work.

I wonder how often stuff like that happens behind closed doors and think this may only be news because we usually don't see it happen.

As for the second point, three factors figure into any kind of leadership model: The leader(s), the follower(s) and the situation and there is no one approach fits all model and different styles resonate differently with different people. I don't know Mahomes well enough to know what style he needs.

Leadership research is a topic that I am looking into for my master thesis after having written a paper on the ownership transition of the Broncos from Bowlen to Ellis.
 
Did EB tell Mahomes that Mahomes can just go back home to mommy? :LOL: That might have set him off! I joke with my KC Chiefs friends about that last name.

It probably happens way more than fans realize, but they were headed into the locker room for halftime - save it for behind closed doors, especially if you already have a reputation for not getting along with your players.

In theory, I agree, but this is a high pressure environment where tempers flare and I think this easier said than done on the interwebz than it is on the sideline.

I’m sure you’re right, but I want to see EB get a chance as a HC in this league and this type of stuff will hold him back, fair or not.

All the time to answer the first part. It isn't unusual or anything.

Sounds like an interesting topic to look at.

Be interesting to contrast the types of leadership authority contrasting positional leadership vs. personal leadership (in a simplified view of it as both positional and personal authority can overlap and have different forms.

It would be interesting to look at the contrast between positional authority in sport (the coach and assistants) vs. those who are placed in a position of personal authority like the QB or team captains and those who have neither but due to either the earned respect or their seniority carry a high degree of authority with the team.

What happens when you get a coach who has positional authority and can enforce it by cutting players or controlling playing time butts heads with veteran players who due to their standing with the team can't be cut or significantly limited such as when Josh McDaniel's veterans rebelled against him in Denver
 

Eric Bieniemy has been the Chiefs offensive coordinator for their greatest five-year stretch in franchise history. And this postseason may very well be his last.

Bieniemy signed another one-year deal with the Chiefs last offseason, and many around the league believe he will be coaching elsewhere in the 2023 season.

Bieniemy, who signed a one-year contract to return to Kansas City last offseason, is the most successful offensive coordinator in team history. Since taking over the post in 2018, he's helped the team to eight playoff wins, a Super Bowl victory, a (soon-to-be two-time) league MVP and a league-best regular season record of 64-18.

The fifth-year offensive coordinator has been stymied in his attempts to get a head-coaching job despite a deserving resume. USA Today reported last week that Bieniemy has now interviewed for 15 head-coaching jobs since 2019, including the Colts job last week.

Somebody should start a thread about that!

Thank God CU didn’t end up hiring him. CU did so much better than EB that it isn’t even funny.
 
Bienemy probably has a big enough rep and personality to be a CEO head coach who can recruit and be like Prime lite.
I think he's built for the HC position in college and somebody needing an energy injection should take a shot.
 
A little bit of column A and a little bit of column B

Could be Interim HC by October
He has to show he can run the offense alone without Captain Kangaroo next to him
Rivera is not long for that job
New ownership soon
He will get checks from Bezos down the road
 
I'm putting this here because the first half of the video is relevant to this thread and EB is even mentioned. It's a good discussion and I really love that Coach Prime looks at issues from all angles.
