Another Buff bites the dust.
Former CU running back and current Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy has taken his name out of the running to replace Mel Tucker as Buffs football coach, according to multiple media outlets.
Bieniemy, 50, left Boulder in 1990 as the school’s all-time leader rusher and had served two other stints at CU as running backs coach (2001-02) and as offensive coordinator (2011-12).
He’s never been a head coach at the collegiate or NFL level, but has drawn increased interest for his work with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and is considered a strong contender to land an NFL head coaching job within the next few hiring cycles.
Bieniemy is the second confirmed candidate to pull out of the running for the CU job in the last 24 hours. ESPN’s Chris Low reported Thursday that former Washington and USC coach Steve Sarkisian, currently the offensive coordinator at Alabama, will return to Tuscaloosa with a significant pay bump for 2020.
Sarkisian made $1.55 million last fall in Tuscaloosa. The Buffs had been slated to pay Tucker $2.675 million in 2020.
CU had reportedly interviewed Sarkisian, former Wisconsin and Arkansas coach Bret Bielema, Air Force coach Troy Calhoun, and interim coach Darrin Chiaverini, among others, in recent days. It’s not clear yet whether the school week will announce a replacement for Tucker soon or restart the search with Sarkisian and Bieniemy having dropped out.
9News was the first to report Bieniemy had dropped out.
