The Houston Texans, one other crew looking for a head coach, didn’t request an interview to herald Bieniemy.
That’s when reviews surfaced that franchise quarterback Deshaun Watson was upset with the path of the franchise.
“I’ve known Deshaun a while now and we just talked about coach Bieniemy,” Mahomes mentioned. “Wasn’t me trying to get him a job or anything, I just told him who coach Bieniemy is and what kind of coach he is, what kind of man he is and how I think that he handles himself.
“As he will get a job over the subsequent few weeks, months no matter it’s, the kind of man he’s will carry him to the place he must be at and that may put him in the most effective scenario attainable on the finish of the day,” Mahomes added.

ProFootballTalk reported that Bieniemy said privately that he may hold off on any job openings until a perfect opportunity arises, which means he may return to Kansas City next year.
“For us, clearly we need to have him right here,” Mahomes said. “But we all know he deserves that chance to steer his personal franchise and his personal crew.”
