Talks between Eric Bieniemy and Commanders went well, will continue Friday

Things appear to be trending in the right direction for Washington and Eric Bieniemy.

The long-awaited interview between the Washington Commanders and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy finally occurred on Thursday. Bieniemy, fresh off his second Super Bowl win as offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs in four years, arrived in the Washington area Wednesday.

Bieniemy had dinner with head coach Ron Rivera and general manager Martin Mayhew on Wednesday, with the formal interview scheduled for Thursday.

After interviewing throughout the day, no agreement was reached, but according to multiple outlets, things went well, and the two sides will meet again on Friday.

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN indicated that mutual interest remains, and Friday’s meeting would focus on “philosophy, structure, staffing.”

Things sure seem to be trending in the right direction for Bieniemy to become Washington’s next offensive coordinator, but until Bieniemy signs, everything remains in play.

Bieniemy has long been considered Washington’s top choice, but if things fall through, Greg Roman, Pat Shurmur and Ken Zampese remain in play.
