3 head coach options Chicago Bears cannot choose

2. Eric Bienemy

Talk about another one that is way too close. Kafka and Nagy are a bit more similar because they are former quarterbacks who worked with quarterbacks under Reid. Eric Bienemy was a running back who moved from that room to the offensive coordinator seat.

Still, this is another person that is too close to what Matt Nagy is and was to be considered. First off, fans are annoyed with Matt Nagy because he is still raw with in-game execution. That is because even when Nagy called plays for Kansas City, Reid had direct control of the offense.

Reid gives Bienemy praise all the time for calling plays, but all of the little details are all Reid. Beyond that, Bienemy is a victim of circumstance here, but Nagy was hired after putting together some impressive offenses with Alex Smith. No offense to Bienemy, but it is probably easy to step into an offense that Reid designed, get handed an upgrade from Smith to Pat Mahomes, and then just put the car in neutral and ride.

Bienemy obviously has his strengths, but all of his weaknesses are the same as Nagy and would be exposed once he becomes a head coach. Bienemy also has a history off of the field to discuss.
