Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy has been floated as a potential head coaching candidate for years, but has yet to land an opportunity to lead a franchise. With Kansas City poised to make another run at a Super Bowl, he is once again gaining attention from teams with coaching openings, including the Colts.
On Thursday, Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay tweeted that the team had just finished an interview with Bieniemy as the team begins to find its full-time replacement for Frank Reich, who was fired during the season. The Bieniemy interview came after those with Colts special teams coach Bubba Ventrone and Broncos defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, another assistant gaining steam across the league.
