Eric Bieniemy: Eagles reportedly request interview with Chiefs offensive coordinator - Bleeding Green Nation

The Philadelphia Eagles requested a head coach interview with Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, according to a report from NFL insider Mike Garafolo. It’s unclear when Bieniemy will be available to interview since the Chiefs are currently still alive in the 2021 NFL playoffs.

It sure would be something if the Eagles fired former Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson just to replace him with his eventual successor in Philly.

It sounds like that’s not likely to happen, though. As we wrote earlier on Saturday:

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says Bieniemy is poised to get shut out of the hiring cycle for the second year in a row. He’s obviously a popular name amongst fans but he hasn’t actually been linked to the Eagles thus far [until now]. There are some reports about Bieniemy interviewing poorly. There’s also his “uncomfortable past” to consider. Fowler says the Eagles are “eyeing other candidates,” indicating their attention is turned elsewhere.

Not hard to understand why EB has generated so much buzz, though. Here’s how the Chiefs rank in offensive scoring since he was promoted to OC:

2018 — 1st
2019 — 5th
2020 — 6th

Of course, it’s hard to parse exactly how much credit EB deserves on his own when he’s not a full-time play-caller and he’s working with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. But one would think EB deserves some level of credit for KC’s success.
