Not saying he is not a good coach, but he does not deserve any credit for making that offense great.  It was great before he took the OC job.

To the first bold, you're forgetting that they were #5 with Alex Smith at QB and Matt Nagy as OC.

To the second bold, Bieniemy still is keeping guys in check and focused on their job; he absolutely gets credit for helping to KEEP the offense great.

The offense has been a well-oiled machine for basically Reid's entire tenure, outside of 2014 and 2016 (2016 had Brad Childress completely flop).

I don't doubt that Bienemy would be a great coach, but he is absolutely getting a lot of Reid's credit.

And yes, Bienemy was interviewed but he was not interested. And before you bash the team for screwing it up or whatever, Bienemy met with 2 or 3 teams last year as well, after the SB (Giants and Panthers are the ones I can find) and he wasn't hired at either spot either. That's a bit fishy, if you can't secure a job after 2 years -worth of interviews.
