He is a glorified quarterback coach. Seems to me he has no head coach experience at any level so why would you take a chance on him. Now if Mahomes came with him I would give him serious consideration.

Even though he's coached RBs most of his career. 

And does he have to have HC experience to be a good one?

If he was a real OC i might would be willing to give him a shot.  But i dont even consider him an off coordinator if he doesnt even call the plays. He just seems too inexperienced to me.

Well let’s hear it sir. You do a great job posting facts and leads but let’s hear who your heart desires. 

I was kidding. I've been stumping for Dan Campbell.

With regard to Bieniemy, he's stuck in kind of a bad Assistants who work with geniuses on their side of the ball always have the same problem. Everybody questions whether it's really them or the head coach they're working under.

Take Pete Carmichael in New Orleans, for example. Carmichael has been the Saints OC for a while now, and despite their annual offensive success, he doesn't get head coaching buzz because everybody thinks it's Sean Payton.

(and we'll, maybe it is)

What also doesn't help Eric Bieniemy is that somebody took a chance on the last guy who had his job and it's going poorly. The failures of Matt Nagy probably shouldn't have any actual bearing on Bieniemy, but they do.

So for me, I don't know. I imagine somebody will interview him and they'll make that decision for themselves.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
