Almost any coordinator with Eric Bieniemy’s resume isn’t only in demand but receiving head-coaching offers. So why, on the surface, is he making a quasi-lateral move to arguably the most chaotic franchise in the league? BenStandig explains.
On the surface, Bieniemy is making a quasi-lateral move to arguably the most chaotic franchise in the league. He’ll work under Rivera, who, after three consecutive non-winning seasons, is perhaps facing a win-or-else campaign, especially since owner Dan Snyder is exploring the sale of the franchise after 23 tumultuous years. Signing a multiyear deal would provide Bieniemy some financial insurance.
For Rivera, whether a master stroke or capitalizing on good fortune, this hire is quite the coup. Rivera faced adversity and an agitated fan base after last year’s polarizing trade for quarterbackWashington, hampered by using nine starting quarterbacks since 2020, has ranked 25th, 23rd and 24th in points scored during that span.
Regardless of the outcome, Rivera — a Reid loyalist after serving as an assistant in Philadelphia around the turn of the century — is the first person to give Bieniemy a chance to run anoffense by himself. For Washington, the choice would ideally spark a team that’s already armed with several offensive playmakers and a top-10 defense. This will be the most critical season of Bieniemy’s coaching career. Rivera is banking on success.
“Eric Bieniemy has been tremendous for us, and I think he’s tremendous for the National Football League,” Reid said. “I’m hoping he has an opportunity to go somewhere and do his thing, where he can run the show and be Eric Bieniemy.”
