Agreed. You'd have to assume someone in the role of Offensive Coordinator would have some type of impactful role in the offense even if it doesn't include calling the individual plays during games. Otherwise, why have an OC at all? I highly doubt they are paying Bieniemy to do nothing.

My thought (or hope) is that Bieniemy has been involved in player personnel decisions for the offense (both offseason and during games) and working with the players to understand and execute the plays themselves. If he's doing that, that's perfectly fine when considering for a HC position.
