Another big concern of mine is you're not getting an interview with him until KC gets eliminated.  They appear to be the class of the AFCN, so that may not be until after SB Sunday.  That means a lot of the good assistant coaches will be picked over before you can make the hire.  Plus, if he takes another job, your options may be limited, as a lot of the other top candidates will have already been snapped up.  

Well, that is assuming that he's even interested in looking at other jobs right now.  Like I said, he's a 1st year Coordinator.  He's likely still getting used to the dynamic of running the entire offense, while learning from Andy Reid.  There is a completely different dynamic associated with being in charge of the entire team, than just the unit under your charge.  The entire picture changes, an entire vision of a team must be articulated to the staff, with the emphasis on great communication skills.  Then, when you add in the "Bengals factor", the job could get even much tougher.

It's really too bad that the Bengals didn't think of Bienemy when Hue Jackson left for Cleveland.  That would have given him a couple years of Coordinator experience, plus time to get acclimated to the Bengals Management style.
