Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Panthers have requested to interview Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy for their head-coaching vacancy.
Carolina has already interviewed former Packers HC Mike McCarthy for the job and reportedly have interest in Patriots OC Josh McDaniels as well.
It would not be surprising to see David Tepper cast a wide net during his first coaching hire, so you can expect to hear more names connected to the Panthers’ job in the coming days.
Last year, Bieniemy met with a number of teams for head-coaching jobs including the Jets, Buccaneers, Dolphins and Bengals.
Bieniemy, 50, played 10 seasons in the NFL for the Chargers, Bengals and Eagles before retiring in 1999. His NFL coaching career began in 2006 when he took over as the Vikings’ RBs coach.
The Chiefs hired him for the same position in 2013 and he was later promoted to offensive coordinator last year.
In 2019, the Chiefs’ offense ranked No. 6 in total yards, No. 5 in total points, No. 23 in rushing yards and No. 5 in passing yards.
