previously have went back to college?
After coaching at the pro level most guys don’t want to beg 17y/o’s to come play for them. Bienemy was born in Louisiana and grew up in California. He has no ties to the state of Michigan.

I still say if he was interested in a college HC job it would have to be Colorado or one of the big cal schools throwing a bag at him and that’s stiff probably not enough.
9. "RE: Eric Bieniemy not having a HC offer right now is a joke." In response to Reply # 0
He's been an OC for two years, on a team where the HC is a HOF offensive mind.
I like the guy a lot. If he doesn't get a look next year, then it's a bigger deal.
That said, Matt Nagy got the Bears job out of KC after 2 years, and his final season in KC didn't end nearly as well as this one did.
Reid also gave up play calling midway through that year and Nagy led them to a second-half explosion in offense. Probably would help Bienemy if Reid was publicly not calling the plays.
