'What I want to do is focus on the bottom line. It is sad, and pathetic, that (Eric) Bieniemy has to take this job (with the Commanders),' writes mikefreemanNFL for usatodaysports. 'It is humiliating for him and embarrassing for the NFL.'
Bieniemy will have play-calling duties in Washington but make no mistake this is still essentially a parallel move. This is like Spock leaving the Enterprise to become science officer on the Lexington. He's already the science officer. Why would he do that? It would be totally illogical.
There's another part of this that must be discussed. He's going from NFL franchise royalty to the league's jalopy. The Washington organization is a wreck, owned by a terrible, tiny little man. Kansas City is run like a great company andThe theory is that Bieniemy can go to Washington, work with a Sam Howell at quarterback, and if he can make that situation work, he can then get a head coaching job.
But think about it, really think about it. Why does he have to do that? No owner or GM could see his body of work and not see talent? No team feels it can take a chance on the coach that Mahomes called one of the best he's ever worked with? “...Make sure you have an Eric Bieniemy in your life because he’ll make sure you’re ready to go.”
Said Reid: “Eric Bieniemy has been tremendous for us and I think he’s tremendous for the National Football League. I’m hoping he has an opportunity to go somewhere and do his thing, where he can run the show and be Eric Bieniemy.” He will be Eric Bieniemy but he will not be running the show. That's Ron Rivera. Bieniemy should be, somewhere, but he's not.
