<\/figure>\n Answering the query as to why former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy<\/a><\/span> should have that title and never be a present head coach has been the story of within the NFL since Rihanna<\/a><\/span> blessed us together with her presence at Super Bowl LVII and Patrick Mahomes gained his second championship \u2014 with Bieniemy<\/a><\/span> because the offensive coordinator. But Andy Reid will get all of the credit score, proper? It was clear after this 12 months\u2019s teaching carousel that one thing wanted to alter for Bieniemy<\/a><\/span>. And after being launched because the Washington Commanders\u2019 new offensive coordinator on Thursday, the conundrum surrounding why he works for Ron Rivera and isn\u2019t one among his 31 NFL head-coaching colleagues solely grew in murkiness. <\/p>\n Yes, his rap sheet<\/a><\/span> has been reported as a attainable motive, however that hasn\u2019t stopped different people with out a pristine previous from being employed. Hello Urban Meyer<\/a><\/span>. There was additionally the bizarre, borderline-racist trope that he didn\u2019t interview effectively<\/a><\/span>. The underbelly of that reads as if he\u2019s not effectively spoken, he can\u2019t talk with these which can be in government roles in franchises. What a mind-numbing load of crap that at all times was. Remember Eagles\u2019 coach Nick Sirianni\u2019s opening press convention in Philadelphia<\/a><\/span>? And he led his crew to the Super Bowl in 12 months No. 2. Bieniemy has been gerrymandered into changing into the poster boy (man)<\/a><\/span> for the destructive aspect of the NFL\u2019s hiring course of for head coaches.<\/p>\n In the NFL\u2019s offseason calendar, having a giant splash this early often doesn\u2019t happen. We usually should wait till free company begins, which is March 15 this 12 months, for these fireworks. Yet Bieniemy\u2019s entrance into the nation\u2019s capital addresses the weakest level on the worst crew within the NFC East. Despite challenges from the AFC North, Bieniemy\u2019s addition to the NFC East confirms it\u2019s nonetheless the strongest division within the NFL. If Washington\u2019s offense improves even barely from final season, and with out Carson Wentz<\/a><\/span> and Taylor Heinicke at quarterback, these likelihood is excessive, it\u2019s a playoff crew. Truthfully, one play goes in another way in each video games in opposition to the Giants final season, the Commanders had been already a playoff crew with a crappy quarterback. <\/p>\n In a conflict between the AFC North and NFC East, you possibly can name it a push between the Eagles and Bengals. Both misplaced to the Chiefs by a subject aim to finish their seasons. Dallas has a slight edge on Baltimore with out a wholesome Lamar Jackson.<\/a><\/span> With him, it\u2019s a push. The power of a whole division often depends on depth. And the Steelers and Browns had been each stink monsters final season. The Giants and Commanders each confirmed indicators of promising futures. If Kenny Pickett is the most effective consultant of that from the underside two AFC North groups, it doesn\u2019t converse effectively to both\u2019s long-term outlook.<\/p>\n Bieniemy was inside an offensive juggernaut in Kansas City. Too many cooks within the kitchen for all to share the spoils of a James Beard Award, particularly for these pesky line cooks. Now, Bieniemy is on an island in Washington. Ron Rivera is a defensive-minded head coach. He\u2019s betting a renaissance for his keep atop the Commanders on the exploits of Bieniemy elevating Sam Howell<\/a><\/span> to be the franchise\u2019s first steady presence at quarterback since Mark Rypien. If you rely Kirk Cousins, please shut up. He was at all times a mistake. So was Jason Campbell.<\/p>\nThe Beast of the East<\/h2>\n
