KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy would not say whether he would have an interest in the vacant head-coaching position at USC.
USC fired coach Clay Helton on Monday, two days after a 42-28 home defeat to Stanford. Donte Williams was named the Trojans’ interim coach.
League sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter earlier this week they believe Bieniemy will emerge as the favorite for the USC job. Bieniemy, who went to high school in the Los Angeles area, told confidantes in the past that USC is one of the only college jobs that might interest him, Schefter reported.
Bieniemy interviewed for several NFL head-coaching positions in recent seasons but has yet to receive a job offer.
