FalconsIn2012 35,705 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I’ve never been high on Eric Bieniemy because of his lack of experience calling plays in the NFL, but the fact this guy got a HC job ahead of him is perplexing...just wow cwell1, Rings and Knight of God 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDaveG 43,792 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I mean, on the one hand, you can not be good at pressers and be a great HC. On the other hand, if he can't communicate his plan to the press any better than this, one wonders how he's going to communicate it to the team.

irrevelantfalconsfan 302 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Well if I'm the Lions front office, I'm going to hire a guy if he threatens my kneecaps. I like my kneecaps, very much.

JayOzOne 20,222 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 It's amazing, ain't it? I have never met Eric Bienemy but there has to be some unseen reason (other than what may appear to be obvious) why owners would hire Curly, Larry & Moe before him. Maybe he'll take over in KC after Reid retires. I'll be shocked if the Lions or Iggles do better next season. 408Falcon, JDaveG, celtiksage and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought about him hanging on to take over after Andy.....but if that's the case....why even interview for other opportunities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Architect 771 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Dude might just be nervous. The product on the field is what matters at the end of the day. That being said I do think that EB should've gotten a shot though I don't think that the last two spots (Eagles or Texans) were good fits . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDaveG 43,792 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Yeah, watching some of these other folks, I'm glad we got who we got. I like Saleh and Staley. I think this dude, Campbell and Meyer are all more or less jokes. Meyer is the best of the 3 and he is no great shakes. I don't know anything about the dude Houston hired -- that came out of left field (as did Philly's hire). PokerSteve and falconsd56 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EB really probably loves his job, and they get the feeling he doesn't want it. And Reid ain't coaching forever. JayOzOne 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jeffrey Lurie is hoping that Nick Sirianni, through osmosis, might have the secret sauce to revive Wentz since Sirianni was Reich's OC at Indy... Ain't happenin'... For starters, Wentz is not the most likable guy in the Eagles locker room... He has a serious ego problem... And he is unwilling to accept responsibility for his less than average play... I don't know if any coach can fix that. Herr Doktor 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dem Birds 10,801 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 We definitely got the cream of this crop. Salah is the only other one that seems like a good hire. I'm gonna wait and see on Staley. I'm starting to think EB is just doing like McDaniels used to do and being picky because he knows Mahomes and that offense are going to be one of the top offenses for the next few years no matter what.

Might see a riot in Philly if this hire doesn't work out while Reid sits at the mountain top. RING OF HONOR and JDaveG 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ergo Proxy 26,135 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Why would EB want to go be saddled with Wentz and risk getting fired after a bad couple years despite bringing a SB trophy? Besides, proof will be on Sundays. red falcon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably not for Philly, but winning a SB as an HC is much different than winning one as a coordinator, positional coach, or assistant unless you are okay with not being "the guy".

Jesus 26,706 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 The theory I have is that Reid has told him that if they win he's going to retire **** Vermeil style. I also think the Bucs are gonna win. They have the four man rush that can wreck havoc while the rest of the defense slows down the track meet. PokerSteve, red falcon and Herr Doktor 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Super bowl is a super bowl. I get it though. What are the chances of him winning anyway? Prob pretty slim. He can takeover in KC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its all set up perfectly. KC needs to control the clock and hope brady has brain farts again. Jesus 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poutlipper 1,209 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I'm going to put myself on blast for a second. I've been in various leadership positions in my company for the better part of a decade. I would consider myself a high performer in my job capacity. I have no issues communicating/presenting to my team or my peers but I get **** near crippling anxiety when I present to much larger crowds or my boss's boss. It's not everyone's forte. Watching this, if anything I just feel for the guy. He may step in front of the team, and it just works. slick0ne, PokerSteve, Herr Doktor and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
