The Philadelphia Eagles caught a lot of flack when Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid denied the report that the Eagles had requested a formal interview with OC Eric Bieniemy. Philadelphia eventually hired former Colts OC Nick Sirianni.
“Well, no, there was no formal interview for him sent in,” Reid told reporters ahead of Super Bowl LV. “They had talked early about it, but there was nothing formally sent in.”
Now some new information shows that the Eagles did in fact notify the league and the Chiefs of a formal interview request for Bieniemy. According to an NFL demographics report shared by Eagles beat writer Robert Maaddi, Bieniemy was the only minority coach to receive requests from each of the seven teams with head-coaching vacancies.
