Before the Detroit Lions hire a new coach, they'll likely hire a general manager. But when they get around to addressing the former vacancy, Eric Bieniemy figures to merit strong consideration.
And if we're being honest, he's going to be on the radar of most, if not all of the teams looking for new leadership this offseason.
A nine-year NFL veteran, Bieniemy has been coaching for two decades, spending the past eight working under Andy Reid in Kansas City. There he's coordinated some of the most prolific offenses in league history.
And while those credentials should be enough to get anyone's attention, a quick reference check of those who have been in the building with Bieniemy only solidifies his candidacy.
