Bayless: "...I know who Eric Bieniemy is like crazy. Like, that's a big name to me. … He contributed to Kansas City's rise... I didn't think that Eric made enough money in Kansas City, and then he goes to Washington, and that situation... it was doomed from the start... There's only so much you can do, and he did the best he could."
Johnson: "I think it's a great fit for him. There's an opportunity there, right? ...On average, there are 18 NFL openings over three years, if my math is correct. He's interviewed for all them jobs... That's half the league! They've all seen him... and nobody's hired him. What has happened now is he's got an opportunity to go back to college, bring what he brought to Kansas City and Washington... to UCLA with a young coach in Deshaun Foster, who says ‘okay I can utilize this, and I can learn from this, and he can help me become a better head coach.’ But at the same time, the opportunity presents itself to all the universities that have not had an opportunity to see him."
