Nick Sirianni didn't call plays for the Colts; hired by Eagles. Urban Meyer has off field baggage ranging from health issues to rumored affairs with coeds; hired by Jaguars.Dan Campbell talks about biting people's kneecaps in a press conference but apparently interviewed well enough to be hired by the Lions.Strange league.
There his involvement with recruiting scandals involving sexual assault at CU too when he was a coach there.So, if you hire him you’ve hired a woman beater and alleged rape enabler. If you don’t you’re a discriminatory racist. What group do you piss off more?By the way, his own Alma mater didn’t hire him as head coach but has hired other minority coaches. And, apparently he’s sucks at interviewing. Comes off as aloof and arrogant. I think we’ve all had job candidates come in whom were great on paper but not in person. And, maybe, he’s just not taking the jobs that have been out there. https://sportsnaut.com/nfl-rumors-eric-bieniemy-coach/
In no particular order:Almost twenty years ago, Eric Bieniemy was an assistant coach at Colorado in 2001-2002. In 2003 during rape investigation, authorities didn't question Bieniemy, nor did they take any depositions from him. They did question, and take depositions from some others. Twenty seven years ago, shortly after college, while a running back for the San Diego Chargers, Eric Bieniemy and others were cutting across a parking lot. While walking he he put his hand on the back of the neck of a female parking lot attendant jokingly startling her, (This is not okay and not acceptable) kept walking and urinated with the group at a different part of the parking lot. Later a male parking lot attendant was allegedly struck on the side of the face by someone else. Bieniemy wasn't there.
Him not interviewing well or calling plays are legit concerns.Him having a DUI and issues with player behavior when he was a position coach isn't relevant at all. As Lazar's says, those are issues that don't apply to other coaches and are likely just being floated as excuses now. (And I don't see where it says he beat a woman.)That being said, I don't think this is a racial issue.

I don’t care about the DUI but the assault and alleged covering up/enabling sexual assault. That’s an issue.
I don't think any of us have been privy to his interviews.Saleh, Staley, Sirianni, Campbell - have they ever called plays for any offense?
Dude, he is not alleged to have covered up anything. Here is the sentence: "Bieniemy also worked on Colorado’s coaching staff when the program had multiple players facing rape allegations."So now NFL teams aren't going to want to hire an assistant coach (who was never questioned or directly implicated) who was on a coaching staff when players were facing rape allegations (though never charged)?Urban Meyer coached a player who killed a guy.So please spare me that stuff.

If Eric Bieniemy was white, he’d have a job by now. The excuses are garbage. If Urban Meyer is hireable, then so is Bieniemy. His resume far exceeds many coaches recently hired, including Matt Laflure
Saleh and Staley are defensive coaches, so no. I have no idea about the other two.My point is there are plenty of legit reasons why teams may not want to hire him. It very well could be that they simply don't want to wait another 2+ weeks.
I think your last point may be most valid. We always look at the HC and, obviously he is the most important guy. But let's not underestimate getting a jump on rounding out the staff. The sooner you get the HC, the more options you have at the coordinator positions.
I don’t think this will make Watson want to stay.https://twitter.com/mikegarafolo/status/1352728155648389123?s=21
Any "WKRP in Cincinnati" fans here? Do you remember the episode where Art Carlson was running for city council and called his opponent an alcoholic? He was so ashamed that he intentionally tried to lose the election.I kinda feel that's the Texans right now.
