Eric Bieniemy is the face of success in terms of being great at his job as an NFL assistant coach. He has two Super Bowl rings to prove it in his time as Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator. Just over a week ago he was specifically credited with detecting flaws in Philadelphia’s defensive tendencies that led directly to two touchdowns and the latest championship.
In concert with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce and Andy Reid calling the plays, Bieniemy was the quiet force behind football’s greatest offense, one that absorbed the loss of Tyreek Hill with nary a hiccup.
This same Eric Bieniemy also has become the face of failure on the NFL’s part in making sure excellent, proven Black top assistant coaches get a fair shot at the ultimate promotion when head-coach openings arise.
