Eric Bieniemy‘s name has been a hot topic for what feels like three to four years at this point. Every offseason there are rumors that Bieniemy will receive a head coach job only for him to return to Kansas City when all is said and done.
But this year, things feel different.
Bieniemy has served his purpose with the Chiefs and there’s little more he could accomplish with the organization. Having spent eight years now in Kansas City first as the team’s running backs coach and now as their offensive coordinator, the time has come to move on.
And with his contract expiring at the end of the season, it feels inevitable that he will finally receive a head coach position this offseason. The Jets should be considered a prime destination.
While he doesn’t call plays for the Chiefs, Bieniemy is a huge part of the most successful NFL offense in recent history. His work with not only Patrick Mahomes, but the entire Kansas City offense hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Not only that, but his time learning under Andy Reid will certainly do him some favors with the likes of John Harbaugh, Doug Pederson, Ron Rivera, and Sean McDermott — other Andy Reid protegees — all finding great success elsewhere.
Bieniemy is going to be a head coach come next year and the Jets should absolutely be interested.
