Everybodys favorite head coaching candidate just got the rug pulled out from underneath him and Quinn hired Kliff Kingsbury as his OC.

Could you imagine the shit show this organization would have been if we hired him like so many were wanting for a few years ago? I am however enjoying the race baiters in the national media like Stephen A Smith losing their minds over this one. Bottom line is Bienemy has never been good, rubs people the wrong way, and is only a head coaching candidate in the eyes of the media. Actually a little shocked the Wilfs didn't hire him

The whiners completely missed the point of the Kingsbury hire.  Caleb Williams is a Kingsbury fan. If this pushes the Bears .01% toward taking Drake Maye instead, advantage Washington.  Plus, the Commanders O was crap.  Whatever Kingsbury's faults as a HC, he's proven he can call an offense.

Bienemy must be quite the piece of work to keep getting passed over for shit. Heard he's abrasive as hell.

Most head coaches especially established guys like Quinn want the autonomy to come in and hire their own coaching staff with coaches who fit their style and who they are familiar with.  To me this is a non news item and says more about what new head coaches do and less to do with Bienemy.  How many coaches did KOC keep when he came on?

I agree...New HC's want their own surround. 

He road Reids coat-tails, hell I still blame Bienemy for 12 in the huddle. 

No desire to see him back with the Vikings.
