Eric Bieniemy to Ravens? Would Coach Leave Super Bowl Chiefs?

It might not be the "move up'' that Eric Bieniemy wants or even deserves. But it's a move that might put the Chiefs coordinator and the Baltimore Ravens on a path to making their own incredible run.

Eric Bieniemy is on an incredible run as the Kansas Chiefs offensive coordinator, a right-hand man of head coach Andy Reid over the course of a five-year period during which the Chiefs have posted a league-best regular season record of 64-18 and are about to visit the Super Bowl for the second time.

But Eric Bieniemy is also part of another streak - a streak that the Baltimore Ravens might be wise to bust up.

In the last four years, per USA Today, Bieniemy has interviewed for 15 head-coaching jobs ... obviously, without getting the gig.

Along with this, Bieniemy last year signed another one-year deal with the Chiefs, seemingly in anticipation of finally moving up and out of Kansas City.

The Ravens - who have requested permission to interview Bieniemy as part of a list of candidates - are in position to move him up ... sort of.

Technically, the Baltimore job, obviously, is still about being an offensive coordinator, here under head coach John Harbaugh. So where's the bump in leaving K.C.?

In Kansas City, Reid runs the offense.

With the Ravens, Bieniemy could be handed full authority to be in charge.

Reid and Bieniemy have the benefit of Patrick Mahomes at quarterback, and if Baltimore decides it is truly interested in the coach, it should be able to argue that there is a benefit here to having Lamar Jackson at quarterback.

It's not the move up that Bieniemy wants. It's not the move up many think he deserves. But it's a move that might put Bieniemy and Baltimore on a path to making their own incredible run.
