Eric Bieniemy couldn’t help but smile. He laughed almost as soon as he delivered the line.
He may be in his first year as Washington’s offensive coordinator. And he might be preparing to face first-year Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph on Sunday.
These guys, though, go way back. They’ve been friends for 20-plus years. They’ve been coaching against each other for more than a decade.
They’re tight. And, more to the point, they know the score.
Bieniemy is well aware it’s been a while since a Joseph team left the field victorious against one of his.
