Eric Bieniemy might be the single hottest name on the National Football League’s coaching circuit if judging by the number of rumored opportunities coming his way for interviews.
The Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator has been mentioned in conjunction with five of the eight job openings at head coach in NFL. On Wednesday, as the Chiefs enjoy a bye week thanks to their standing atop the AFC, Bieniemy is using his downtime to interview for various head coaching opportunities, starting with the New York Jets.
The Jets confirmed their first interview with Bieniemy on Wednesday as the team seeks someone to replace Todd Bowles, who has coached the Jets for the last four years.
