jwhit34 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Interesting that the openings are now down to 4: Houston Detroit LA Chargers Philadelphia Houston and Detroit have been open for the longest, they must be waiting for someone still in the playoffs which would most likely mean Bieniemy, Leftwich or Daboll. It is interesting that there is now talk that Chargers will go with a defensive coach since they have gone with offense guys since 2006. It only takes one, but the chance Daboll gets one of the jobs is shrinking fast.

I'm a little confused why everyone is up in arms about him not getting attention. Why is everyone campaigning for him? He is an offensive coordinator under Andy Reid. Reid calls his own plays, at least last time I checked. It would be hard for me to trust an offensive coordinator coming out of that system. It's kind of like defensive coordinator coming out of Buffalo because it's really McDermott's defense, but worse because McDermott let's his DC call plays most of the time. So why is everyone angry?

Mostly because Nagy and Pederman got head coaching jobs doing the same job Bieniemy is doing right now under Reid. Their tenures were mixed so it could explain the hesitation in hiring Bieniemy. I'm also not sure how well he interviews. Maybe he does have to pull a Pettine and come to Buffalo for a year.

Reid’s not really doing EB (or any of his OC’s) any favors by calling plays. He’s been a head coach forever— he seriously can’t figure out how to delegate play-calling? Reminds me of those business owners and CEO’s that are too hands on. There’s a skill in managing and delegating, while maintaining control.

This isn't a charity profession. If Bieniemy doesn't get a HC job I'm sure there's plenty of teams out there that would hire him as offensive coordinator where he can call his own plays. He can also go the Bill O'Brien route and be a college head coach. Edited January 16, 2021 by Doc Brown

I have always found that Reid is basically a coordinator. He hands his defense over to a coordinator to basically handle. So the defense is always up and down. His game day management has always been poor. I think he’s a great offensive mind. Just wonder why he doesn’t want to let go and try to be a more complete head coach.

If you're that much better at it than anybody else then why would you hand over the play calling duties? Payton, Arians, McVay, LaFleur, Stefanski, and Reid all call their own plays and they're six of the last eight teams standing.

If he had thought like a Head Coach and not a glorified OC last week Indy wins that game. There have been times this year I have thought McVay should consider handing over playcalling too. That said Reid is such a good play caller if I am him I am holding onto that. 1

Even on that 4th and goal the play was there but Rivers just overthrew him. Do the Colts even make the playoffs without him calling plays? It's tricky for these guys because they're ability to game plan and play call is what got them these head coaching jobs in the first place. To simply had the play calling duties over to somebody that hasn't had as much success as you is a tough thing to do. You have to weigh the cost benefit and if you do call your own plays you have to put more responsibility on the coaching staff around you to help you more with in game management.

I think he had a great game plan. But I think the 3rd down call before than 4th, and deciding to go for 4th down were decisions that happen when you have your head in your playbook not in the game. He admitted himself after he called them because he had "plays he liked." Of course he did. Play callers will always find a play they like. He lost himself in his calls IMO. And it cost the Colts the game.
