His career kind of fizzled out starting with his time at the Chiefs, inactive for the playoff run; maybe he blames EB in some capacity.

I used to appreciate McCoy, but man he has very little accountability. Dude thinks way too highly of his own ability and never seemed to accept that a RBs shelf life just isn't very long. Seems low key bitter that he wasn't an All-Timer.

Even if he's a little salty it's still pretty telling that he's publicly dragging EB. Has anyone ever really said anything good about this dude?

I can think of a few.....

But I get your point. I think the idea of and results associated with Bieniemy are hyperinflated while the other less stellar aspects of Bieniemy as a coach are downplayed as a result. 

He's not the magic ingredient to KC's offense, other minority candidates are being hired, and guys with sketchy pasts get redemption stories plenty often. Whatever is keeping him from the HC gig most agree he warrants on merits, it's gotta be a personality/relatability thing.

EB has interviewed with 16 or 17 teams and they've all passed on him. Which leads you to believe that some of what McCoy is saying about EB not having a ton of responsibility and being kind of an A-Hole is true. IIRC he received an offer to take over the Colorado program a couple of years ago but declined.

Shady not impressed:

 

 

In addition to just being a really crappy analyst, McCoy has been bitter about his season in KC for awhile. This isn't the first time he's trashed on someone currently or previously with the organization. Like a dozen other former Chiefs have come out to say Shady is way off here, including several that I trust more than McCoy (Hill, Charles, Mathieu, Ron Parker, etc.)

JC is one of my favs ever, but his grammar makes this tweet so damn ironic to me lol.

I know EB ain't an English teacher but you prolly could have taken time for a better sales pitch than "he teach me good i learn so much".

Yeah, like a half dozen former Chiefs. 

You can find players, current and former, that have crappy things to say about every coach in the league. McCoy’s is probably one of the least bit credible. Dude is, and always has been, a dunce.

Here I thought that was the whole point? To get from under Andy Reids shadow, actually call plays without having a HOF caliber QB under center so he can be given some semblance of credit as a real Play Caller / OC rather then being viewed as just the "little helper" for the Andy & Pat Show..

The Title is fluff to make the move and money look legit rather then the lateral move it really is to get said recognition. One way or another. 

 

Pathetic that thought process is used by so many when so many other OCs went straight to HC without calling plays. Some were QB coaches and are now OCs. Whatever the NFL is a microcosm of today's society. 

Eric Bienemy took over the OC for the Chiefs in 2017 and since that time, KC has been top 3 or higher in each season with Bienemy. Every regurgitated that he "possibly sucks at interviewing or rubs owners the wrong way" but no one truly knows why he hasn't been given a HC opportunity. If Nathaniel Hackett and some of these other crappy coaches can become HC that says a lot about why some of the owners stay having losing teams.

I'm guessing he's the clear successor/HC in waiting.

And it's still nutty to me that with how many chances teams take on the OC flavor of the week, Bieniemy is the one who needs a year of formal training wheels before he gets the gig.

Zac Taylor's job was getting Sean McVay coffee and he got a job but everybody has effusive praise for EB's contributions to the offense and in game thinking and he can't even get a 2nd interview with someone.

Yet everything you just posted means nothing since EB wasn't calling plays, wasn't responsible on game days for those offenses being top 3. That was Andy Reid! He was OC in name only. 

Kinda like Dallas's new OC Brian Schottenheimer , watching McCarthy run that offense. Name only!
