Dolfan in NYC Posted February 2 Posted February 2 You tank one of them if you've already decided you don't want it. You tank two or more and, since everyone talks, your reputation sinks like a stone. e.g. I don't think Bienemy even got an interview this cycle. Also, little note about the Rams new DC. He was about to interview with the Dolphins for that job, but took the internal promotion instead. (And yes, he's Don's grandson, via Bengals legendary head coach, Dave Shula.) 3

Brian Fowler Posted February 2 Posted February 2 If Johnson tanked his interview with Washington so badly they weren't interested anymore, it's odd that they were flying to Detroit partially to interview him again. But, also, I'm good with it either way. 1
Hail Sabin Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Unless he tanked the interview on purpose. I had a buddy in High School who tanked an interview with a Kansas City Royal Scout because he didn't want to play minor league baseball in Iowa. Of Course he did it by faking he was color blinded which I pretty sure Ben Johnson didn't do. 1

Cobra Commander Posted February 3 Posted February 3 so Bieniemy is either the Raiders OC in 2024 or he's on Deion's staff in Colorado until Deion fires him midseason? 1
Dolfan in NYC Posted February 4 Posted February 4 So one thing to note, FIFA requires all stadiums who host a game to have natural grass surfaces, so MetLife will finally be forced to change. ...And quite possibly solve the problem of all those blown out knees and ankles. 2 1
RIPPA Posted February 5 Author Posted February 5 Washington is indeed hiring Kliff Kingsbury to be OC
Cobra Commander Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Really shocking that going to one of the most dysfunctional organizations in the NFL did not help get Eric Bieniemy any closer to being a head coach. The entire EB departure from KC really smelled like a "go do something else" nudge out the door by Andy Reid. 2
hammerva Posted February 5 Posted February 5 (edited) The whole Bieniemy Washington thing really doesn't make sense to me. He went from being the most sought after coach last year to being someone teams don't want to touch with a ten foot pole. All because he was too aggressive and strict? For a team that has been considered soft for decades why this is considered a bad thing says more about the team than the coaches? I guess the final straw is when quality players like Terry McLaurin who nobody complained about with effort and desire were like "this guy is too much" . Also didn't help that he made Sam Howell into a complete bust Kingsbury makes me think that Drake Maye is not on their radar now and Jayden Daniels is their guy Edited February 5 by hammerva
RIPPA Posted February 5 Author Posted February 5 Speaking of Bieniemy - Dan Quinn confirmed at his press conference that Bieniemy will not be back next year (he technically had one more year on his contract) Also - apparently, Quinn said he won't call the team the Commanders and kept saying Washington Football so that is amusing

Maybe he really is a jerk that's not that good at his job? 1
Cobra Commander Posted February 5 Posted February 5 well we have someone saying that Mike Vrabel isn't getting hired because of how intimidating he is
Brian Fowler Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Normally don't care much about ST Coordinator hires, but a bit of a surprise one; Jay Harbaugh is leaving Michigan for the same job with the Seattle Seahawks.

Yeah, I would say in retrospect that it seems that Bieniemy just wanted to take KC's offensive scheme and shove Washington into it, even though Howell + the Washington TEs are barely 1/20th of Mahomes + Kelce.
