One thing I wanted to point out though, because I think it’s going mostly unrecognized. The NFL has a comp-pick formula for minority coaches. If a coach is a minority, and is hired away to a role that represents a step up, the team he’s leaving is awarded a comp pick in the third round.
Bieniemy was given a two year contract by Rivera and Harris is assuredly aware of this rule. They will definitely wait to terminate EB until the completion of the head coach hiring cycle. If he gets a HC position, the team picks up a third rounder. If he doesn’t, and I lean towards him not getting one, then the team can wait to let him go from his assistant head coach position as soon as all the head coaching roles are filled.
All this is to say, they’re going to hang onto him. He will be one of the few that keeps his contract until February. Everyone else will get it on Black Monday.
