Actually looks like Harris said he would consider EB. https://www.profootballrumors.com/2024/01/commanders-request-interview-with-mike-macdonald-team-to-consider-eric-bieniemy-for-hc-position Of course, the interview will serve to satisfy the Rooney rule in case Harris wants to go after another coach quickly. No one is ever going to hire EB as an HC after this one. Guilt by association. Edited January 9 by kfrankie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very off-handed, political answer to avoid controversy. Just said that it would be up to whoever they hire. Meanwhile, they’re setting up interviews with other coveted candidates in anticipation of the eventual GM wanting to meet them. And EB isn’t one of them. So what does that tell you? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illone Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Doubt EB has any legitimate shot after the offense he put on tape this year. KC will bring him back if nothing else... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Cold Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Interviewing EB should be a no brainer. Not for hiring purposes, but an opportunity to get a raw assessment of the talent we have among other things. Harris is thorough and meticulous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 11 minutes ago, CommandB11 said: Right. I believe there are different timing rules for FO personnel. Since you would prefer to have your front office/Gm have a say in the coach getting hired; I don’t think the interview rules are as strict/structured as they are for coaches. You still have to interview 2 minorities, I think. I’m confident we will have our Gm hired in 2 weeks and ready to be there when in person interviews are allowed on 1/22.

RabidFan Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Weren't there rumors of EB interest from Chicago? Works for me as I prefer an O minded HC but also EB sold out Sam with a shoddy OL and not running the ball enough 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Josh should release the rest of coaches from their contracts. The new head coach won’t want any of these guys. So let them go, so they can find a job elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 You guys were right, GM types can be interviewed in person pronto and hired whenever The two (minimum) Rooney Rule compliant executives must be in-person interviews, not virtual. The other dates only apply to HC candidates. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcees4life Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Expecting the Head of Football Ops to be hired and in place well before Jan 22 when in-person interviews with head coach candidates can be conducted. I assume Adam Peters is the top choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, tons of information came out today and it’s hard to keep up, but I’m pretty sure I heard the phrase “fly Peters in this week.” With the Myers announcement, you gotta think he’s the top target. Wouldn’t be surprised to hear an announcement that he’s hired before Saturday’s kickoff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
