Imagine This Offseason

Fwiw, Doug Pederson had Andy Reid too, and worked in the same role as Bienemy is now.  He only went on to win a Superbowl in his 2nd season is Philly.

Mahomes is great now no doubt.  But is it crazy to think that Bienemy might have at least a little part in helping him end up being the player is now?

I would have zero complaints bringing Bienemy in.  My question is whether his expected skillset makes him a HC or an OC.  He can be a phenomenal player developer, scheme creator and overall offensive genius.  But does that mean he should be driving the entire team, on both sides of the ball, and have the relationships in the league/college to bring in the right staff around him?  I just don't know.  He could be the second coming, but I guess I'd almost rather see him in a role where he could focus on the offense alone.  Sometimes the "promotion" to HC just doesn't work.  

Now the deal with him going as a HC somewhere with a GM as a packaged deal is very interesting to me, as the GM would be responsible for helping to fill the other coaching roles, so Bienemy wouldn't be on an island.
