Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera is the latest NFL figure to back the idea of Eric Bieniemy getting a shot as a head coach.
When asked about Bieniemy on Friday at the NFL Quarterback Coaching Summit, Rivera said the following, per Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports: "I will be very blunt about this. There's no reason [Bieniemy] shouldn't be a head coach in the NFL."
The Commanders hired Bieniemy to be their offensive coordinator and primary offensive play-caller this offseason after he spent 10 years on the Kansas City Chiefs coaching staff, including five years as OC.
