if not his then whose?
Gotta agree with some of this. Not sure his approach works for all organisations and cultures.
Given the huge prevalence of head coaches under 40, we are seeing the biggest cultural shift in coaching styles the league has probably ever seen. There may be some guys that just remain coordinators.
Vic Fangio and every ex-Patriot coordinator are good examples of why being a good coordinator does not guarantee success as a HC. Look at the coordinators who turned down HC roles this year - Slowik and Johnson - simply because they do not feel ready.
Also teams look at the Eagles and think, fuck it, pay the coordinators more to keep them around because they are as important as the head coach.

New owner, wants his own hires in. From what I could see bienemy did a decent job calling plays for Sam Howell and that offense, before Howell got trigger happy, but I’ll defer to those who study that sort of thing more. As an OC, you can do more with less, put your qb in positions to win and then they may not be capable/experienced enough to do what is required. Howell looked good for the first half of the season, then did not. How much of Howell’s regression was to do with Bienemy’s play calls, his own lack of experience/consistency or the quality of the rest of the offense is up for debate.
As @Aroogah states maybe his personality/coaching style doesn’t work for all organisations,but the majority of players play hard for him, defend his way of working, and feel they improved with him as their coach, whether that’s enough to get him a HC gig, or currently even a Co-ordination gig is up for grabs.

Yeah, can see it might be difficult. See what you can do (if anything), if other questions comes up that's easier to answer with the data you have at hand, jump on them...
On a side note, really interested to see where Eric Bienemy ends up, if anywhere? Feels like his time in Washington has taken him further away from getting a HC job, rather than closer, through what seems like no fault of his..
