Project coaching staff if Texans hire Chiefs’ Eric Bieniemy



[ad_1]

One of the targets for the Houston Texans coaches is Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy.

If Bieniemy is the Texans’ coach, he will have to look at his previous coaching stoppages as he will not be able to poach very many coaches from the current Kansas City staff. Do you think Bieniemy can bring Mike Kafka or Greg Lewis with him? Forget that. Additionally, the Texans appear determined to keep Tim Kelly as their offensive coordinator.

Here’s a projection of what the Texan staff at Bieniemy might look like if they get the job.

Offensive coordinator: Tim Kelly

The Texans have blocked interview requests from other teams for the same position. It would be lousy if Houston did that and then he didn’t get on as the offensive coordinator.

QB Coach: Rip Scherer

Scherer was the quarterfinals coach at Colorado from 2011-2012 when Bieniemhy was the offensive coordinator. Scherer was also the Carolina Panthers quarterback coach from 2009 to 2010.

Pederson said he’s inclined to take a year off from training, and the consultant role is the best of both worlds. Prior to winning the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017, Pederson was the 2013-15 Chiefs offensive coordinator while Bieniemy was the running backs coach.

Defensive coordinator: Brendan Daly

Daly worked with Bieniemy with the Vikings from 2006-2008 as an assistant defensive line coach, and has been the Chiefs’ defensive line coach and running game coordinator since 2019. Daly is eligible for promotion. by joining Houston. Nick Caserio is also said to be in favor of the move as he worked with Daly when he was with the New England Patriots in the same position from 2014-18.

DL Coach: Chris Wilson

Bieniemy and Wilson worked together in Colorado from 2001 to 2002 when Bieniemy coached running backs and Wilson coached the defensive line. Why not have the guy who coached the 2017 Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles defensive line? Wilson is back in Colorado as a defensive line coach.

LB Coach: Fred Pagac

DB Coach: Terry Bradden

Bradden has worked with the Chiefs as a defensive quality control coach since 2017 and has specialized in defensive backs.

DB Consultant: Emmitt Thomas

Thomas was the defensive back coach with the Chiefs from 2010-18, and is originally from Angleton, TX. Having the help of a Hall-of-Famer in Bradden would be a great way to revitalize Houston high school.
