3. Eric Bieniemy, Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator
It’s not going to happen, but …
It’s worth a phone call.
Eventually Bieniemy will be an NFL head coach, and even though Karl Dorrell is doing a good job, it would’ve been amazing if he landed the Colorado gig when it was open a few years ago.
As the next eventual star head coach under head coach the Andy Reid coaching tree, Bieniemy is more than ready after taking an already good situation with a whole lot of superstars to a whole other level.
While his forte might be as a running backs coach – and as a former college star at Colorado – the Kansas City passing game has taken off thanks to Mr. Mahomes – obviously – and the coaching to make this all work. Bieniemy has been the OC since 2018 – he knows what he’s doing.
He’s got the energy and intensity that’s perfect for the college game – he’d be a killer on the recruiting trail – and USC might just be big enough to keep him from stepping up in the NFL world.
