Texans Interviewing Bieniemy Today For Head Coaching Role

The Texans are interviewing Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy today after the NFL "adjusted its interview rules," according to sources. The Texans "had previously requested an interview for Bieniemy," but it was unclear previously if he would meet with them. Because of the "virtual nature of the interviews, and with club consent, the NFL adapted its rules to allow interviews with head coaching candidates whose teams are still in the playoffs." Deshaun Watson has endorsed Bieniemy amid the Texans QB being "unhappy with the lack of input he had" into the GM hiring process (HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 1/18).

Meanwhile, Watson asked fans who planned a protest on his behalf to cancel the event "for the sake of public safety." Watson tweeted, "Covid is spreading at a high rate & I don't want any fans to unnecessarily expose themselves to infection" (ESPN.com, 1/18).
