To me, when you look at their career paths I really do believe that both have gotten the benefit of working under their respective head coaches. McVay for Taylor and Reid for Bieniemy.
I could totally be wrong, but I just want someone who's either capable of bringing in a capable play caller and letting them do their thing or running the show. I'm not sure if Bieniemy is that guy. Unfortunately, I know Taylor isn't.
People don't seem to understand that Reid brought in Bieniemy after his OC stint at Colorado and he was twice passed over for the OC gig by guys with no OC experience at any level. Despite the fact Bieniemy had experience as an OC and Pederson and Nagy didn't, Reid found the latter two to be better options than Bieniemy. That is certainly not a ringing endorsement for his abilities as an OC. He was Reid's third choice.
