Report: Deshaun Watson, Justin Reid Want Eric Bieniemy As Next Texans Head Coach

According to Jason La Canfora, Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson wants current Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy to become the Texans next head coach.

La Canfora:

The [Houston Texans] owner does value very much the feedback of his highest-paid player, and sources said Watson has already advocated for Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy.

Watson shares a strong bond with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and the two already faced off again in Week 1 after meeting in the playoffs a year ago. Mahomes is a big proponent of the work Bieniemy has done on Andy Reid’s staff as he has quickly blossomed into arguably the premier player in the game.
