Mort: Charlie Weis Accepts Job With the Chiefs

Email
PrintChris Mortensen of ESPN is reporting that ex-Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis will accept the position of offensive coordinator with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Per Mort's sources, a formal announcement should be made in the next 24-48 hours.
"Weis makes all [the] sense in world," Mort tweeted. "Nobody questioned his offensive prowess at Notre Dame. Cassel ran his system in New England. Great move by Haley."
We've speculated on this hiring for quite some time and in the past few days the rumors have heated considerably.
The Chiefs connection is there:
- Chiefs head coach Todd Haley and Weis shared an office while with the New York Jets
- Chiefs GM Scott Pioli was with Weis in New England
Today, Haley told reporters that Weis' system is basically a perfect fit for what he's trying to do in Kansas City.
The Chicago Bears were also reportedly in the mix for Weis' services.
Welcome to Kansas City, Mr. Weis.

SWEET!
Next Romeo…..
Then Eric Berry
I will forever hate the Bucs if they select Eric Berry (thanks for ruining my day Todd McShay - I hope you are dead wrong)
Eric Berry needs to be a Kansas City Chief

Yep.......
I’d put money on it if he is there with our 2a pick.

If we get Eric Berry & Golden Tate
my head will explode.
SwimCoach I am with you
Eric Berry…….Believe the hype. He’s an instant pro bowler, I would rather use some of our stockpiled picks to trade up if we have to. He’s so good.
And Romeo? I would like to see it, but Clancy is good, just didn’t have talent. I think I’d rather stick with Clancy so this team isn’t a 2nd rate patriots team, I think it’ll give us identity.
But,,,what about Romeo?
HE’S who we REALLY need.
Why?
Because he is a big name who sucked ass in Cleveland?

good comeback :)
Crennel is a good defensive coach, who knows the 3-4 and defensive linemen, specifically
Also, from those reports, he was slated to be the guy in 2009, anyway…

Crennel is the same as Pioli
Was his role in the Patriots good because of him or because of Bellichick?
Remains to be seen. I don’t think you can really say anyone that succeeded under Bellichick is really “proven” without him.
So was his talent
The success in NE was a combination of good HC…good DC….good position coaches….good talent.
I think that’s the plan here. At least it should be.

If Crennel is hired...
Im not gonna jump off a ledge, Im gonna be a little disappointed, but I pretty much guarantee that when it happens I will go from Negative Nancy to Eternal Optimist.
I just think with hiring Weis and Crennel the Chiefs have serious tunnel vision and aren’t hiring the best guys but the guys they know.

romeo crennel
was not only a good DC, but a great linebackers coach. he will be hired. why? because we have linebackers with high ceilings for potential like derrick johnson. who else are they going to hire for DC? dick jauron? nope sorry. crennell isnt fit to be a HC even though he went 10-6 in 2006. hes a defensive mind. he will be a good fit.

romeo was never a LB coach.
(unless you simply mean NE’s LBs excelled under his watch as DC)
My long, drawn-out predictions that no one cares about, nor will bother to remember:
1. Todd Haley will still be the Chiefs Head Coach up to the 2011 season.
2. Clancy Pendergast won't make it to the 2010 season and was never intended to. Last-minute hire for a position that needed to be filled.
3. Todd Haley will not be the OC at the start of the 2010 season.
you are right, i am wrong
i based my point of a segment of nfl countdown i watched. romeo used to rocket balls at his linebackers in practice for an hour to strengthen their catching ability.
Paint ya shirt red like a Kansas City Chief
either way
the motherfucker will be a good guy for our defense. personally, id rather have him and a handful of other guys out there before clancy.
Paint ya shirt red like a Kansas City Chief
difference between Crennell and any other DC is...
He already has a good working relationship with both Haley and Weis…they get along, know eachothers philosophy, and all work together well. Sometimes that chemistry between coaches can really be an “X” factor
Where did Crennel and Haley work together...
Im not saying they didn’t I just don’t remember any such situation
"Readin's don't never not dun nuthin' for not nobody!" ---Early Cuyler
by averagegatsby on Jan 6, 2010 6:50 PM CST up reply actions
He has more than just success in NE under his belt.
starting to sound like a broken record, but I actually submit that Crennel is somewhat UNDERrated…
special teams coach for the Giants in 86, d-line coach in 90…both teams won the super bowl also d-line coach for the AFC champ 96 pays. +3 super bowls with NE in 01,03 & 04. Pats haven’t won a SB since he was there. Giants didn’t win another SB for 15 years after he left.
He and Belichick both had one winning season coaching the Browns on their own.
Nothing’s set in stone, but I think his record speaks for itself.
My long, drawn-out predictions that no one cares about, nor will bother to remember:
1. Todd Haley will still be the Chiefs Head Coach up to the 2011 season.
2. Clancy Pendergast won't make it to the 2010 season and was never intended to. Last-minute hire for a position that needed to be filled.
3. Todd Haley will not be the OC at the start of the 2010 season.
k heres my reasoning
it gets pendergast out of DC….. at least romeo has proven he can have a top 10 deffense…..I dont think pendergast has even cracked the top 20(maybe once)…….I dont know how you could be even a little opposed to romeo
Pendergast isn't going anywhere though...
Chances are that Crennel may even be the D-Line coach

might not be going anywhere…..but i dont think he will be DC……..why would you believe that crennell would come here to be a Dline coach when there are other teams that want him as a DC……plus hes alot more proven than pendergast( he would never work under pendergast
Really?
Thats a lot of speculation… Pendergast hasn’t been let go, and why would anyone EVER take a demotion and stay with that team… Has it ever even happened?

Gunther was given a promotion from Linebackers coach at Tennessee to DC with the Chiefs.
To this day I can’t believe Gunther came back, he was dismissed in the least honorable way… By seeing the Vermeil press conference on TV.

that would make sense with the krumrie axing. if clancy has a bad start to our ’10 season todd haley will most likely fire him, promote RC and coach the d-lineman himself.

I am believing those reports that say...
Crennel was the choice last year, but couldn’t do it for health reasons, Clancy was like an interim guy, with the understanding that he would stay on when Crennel is ready

I just dont see him
taking a d line job here….when theres other teams that want him as a DC……plus hes proven alot more than pendergast
Maybe Crennel just wants to ease back into coaching

Im saying why keep him if he sucks, I think he sucks, but if he was going to be fired he would have been fired by now. So since he has been fired why is it that hard to believe that Crennel may ease back into coaching by taking a coaching job.

An Weis totally dominated the NCAA at ND right?
Wow, the weis offense put up 21 points against NAVY last year, what a friggin genius
I fully recognize that comparing NCAA HC to NFL OC is apples to oranges, but so is comparing HC in CLE with DC in KC… its a peter principle, each was promoted one level above their skillset.
For justice we must go to Don Pioli
To be completely honest...
I hate the idea of only hiring New England guys… Just the idea that the only qualified people to be succesful have ties there is ludicrous to me…
And to be completely honest… Ive said I think Weis is better at what he does than Crennel… But Weis isn’t my top choice either.

Weird, he sucked with the Lions. I guess the experience tho, hes young enough to relate to palyers and old enough to be a hard ass.

todd haley
was high on that list by the way due to his previous experiences in the NFL and the players he’s dealt with (owens, boldin, keyshawn)

Its a long shot...
and is looking less likely that its even an option… But if Kubiak were to get fired, he would be my dream coordinator… Of course if he were to be available he would probably wind up in Washington with Shanahan.
And I really don’t have an ideal guy for Defense… I like the idea of Pepper Johnson, I dont know who the up and coming coordinators are, but I like the idea of hiring the next great head coach to be our coordinator instead of a guy who couldn’t cut it. I want to hire the next Mike Timlin to be our D-coordinator, the guy who goes on to be great.

I can get behind that. That's why I wanted Haley, and not Cowher.
But, I just can’t disagree with getting Weis & Crennel in here at this point.
My long, drawn-out predictions that no one cares about, nor will bother to remember:
1. Todd Haley will still be the Chiefs Head Coach up to the 2011 season.
2. Clancy Pendergast won't make it to the 2010 season and was never intended to. Last-minute hire for a position that needed to be filled.
3. Todd Haley will not be the OC at the start of the 2010 season.
Do you think the fans in New England in 1994 were pissed that they got all Giants coaches when Parcells came.
Or when they all went to the Jets in ’97, was it ludicrous? Or when the whole Jets staff minus Parcells went back to the Pats in 2000?
These guys stick together, they’re quality coaches who understand how to work together effectively. Deal with it.

Defending the Cassel since 2009
i cannot stand
when people say oooo new england had such great talent…..the coaches suck
well who says we cant get good talent in here
or that cassell was only good cuz he had a good offense……welll heres an idea new england isnt the only team that can put together a good offense
He built a decent...
defense. And when the offense was rolling he got 10 wins. Some guys are good coordinatoors, but bad head coaches.
I just wonder if Crennel might get too much credit in NE
And I am worried that there is too much tunnel vision used in building this team by not looking outside of the NE family.

All I know...
is that in the NFL when you have so many integral parts everyone being on the same page is key to winning. I mean every part. From the GM to HC relationship. To the HC and his assisents. And obviously player units like the offensive line, secondary, and QB to WRs.
Also, Crennel proved that he was able to coordinate a talented defense to the superbowl. They key word is talented. We shouldn’t be worrying about if Crennel got too much credit, but if Pioli got too much credit. He is the one that will provide the talent. So if he has a comfortable relationship with Haley, and proved that he can be a good D-Coordinatoor I say case closed.
it was posted by Williamson first
and Williamson also says we’re taking Okung in the draft, so the question is can we rly on anything from Williamson or Mort?

Paint ya shirt red like a Kansas City Chief
just remember that if he has offensive success here
it was haley who laid the foundation. they run almost the exact same system and haley spent this whole season teaching it regardless of how ineffective it was at times. he was making progress by the end of the season and next year should be pretty good, imo

I do think this is good...
But i also think we still need romeo. our offense showed some signs of life and haley needed help but our defense got the shit kicked out of them in almost every game this year and when they didnt they would give up one or two big drives to lose it. i realize the offense could have won those games just as well as the defense could have but haley is a good offensive mind and would have gotten this figured out over time while the defense would have been left to flounder much like the vermiel era
Getting Crennel would be huge!!!!
HC experience from both our coordinators..Mort claims Haley id theone that really pushed for Weis….I think this may calm Haley down a little bit…He now has someone that will keep him in check a little bit.
yeah, Haley was the catalyst for getting him, for sure
I’m not sure Weis “keeps him in check”… but they sure make a good team of offensive minds, and gives Haley more time to become a great HC

The great thing about Weis
and, well, also with Crennel, is that since both failed at being head coaches, other teams will be hesitant to take them away from us once we become winners.
Not so sure
Weis failed in the NCAA
Crennel failed in CLE (where everyone fails without Bernie Kozar)
Each of these guys may still get looks elsewhere. Besides, Crennel is likely to interview 8,000 times a year for teams looking to comply with the Rooney rule.
For justice we must go to Don Pioli
I dont care where they coached...
Haley is very green, Having guys with HC experience can only help him. They have been through a lot of stuff he has not been exposed to yet. A guy with HC experience is more likely to stand up and say “youre not doing this right” or have input that can help in other situations. A normal assistant usually just does what he is told and kisses his bosses ass without question…
This could be a very very potent coaching team…..Im loving the direction this is going.
My whole point with that comment was that eventhough they failed as HCs
both of them will still get plenty of interviews (addressing the comment I responded to). I said that they’re failures where they did coach were in part not relevant to how they would be as HCs in other NFL cities.
For justice we must go to Don Pioli
i wasnt really countering your point..
I was more trying to make my own point that with three HC on the same staff it could be lethal
fair enough
sorry if i seemed to take offense, and I totally agree. Hell, Haley has even said he likes it when his staff keeps hium in check (referring to a disagreement with Mo Carthon)

Charlie may not be cut out to be a head coach, but the guy knows offense. Now if we land Romeo we’ll really be talking.
With this hire i believe getting Crennel is pretty much a sure thing, I’m sure Weis had more potential suiters than Crennel and Pioli got into his head. Think about it, what a better way than to prove their genius after 2 failing ventures than to turn the chiefs around.

and with these coaches, they becomes close, but so do the wives, and the families…this could really be an amazing thing if romeo comes as well
Haley is the right coach who just needs good people around him, much like Cassel
Vince Wilfork will be Scott Pioli's top offseason priority and will be a Chief.

Not thrilled. Not upset.
Better be worth all the hype because the expectations based on that hype are going to be insanely high.

+1000
* "I doubt anyone will miss Connor Barth except UCrawford"
* the LB corps may become the biggest strength of the Chiefs in 2009
* The OL is NOT as bad as you think it is... give it time, and you'll see improvement this season
* Stats are for losers
seeing how hard of a worker he is, and how much he wants to win...I bet he is very very happy

He's going by the Canadian numbering system

So...uhh...as spiked as the traffic was when Pioli/Haley were hired...
…who’s got an over/under on how much THIS will spike it?
Exciting times, friends. Exciting times.

part of the incentive to going back to OC
is he can sit in the booth
No.
Matt was the year after.

but left for ND shortly after

He may have briefly scouted.
But by the time the draft was under way, he was already in South Bend. Committed to ND in December of 2004…Matt was drafted Spring of 2005.

was worth it
there are pros and cons of each pick
but the win was worth more than 2 slots in the first round in my honest opinion

I never want to lose... NEVER!!!
There is no such thing as a guaranteed pick, Im sure Seattle would love to go back in time and win one more game and not have the chance to draft Rick Meier.

Never be upset about a win.
You draft where you draft. Doesn’t matter where.
Too many people are FAR too wrapped up in the draft and draft position.

especially when safety has gone top 4 how many times? 1?

Weis has got to be drooling at the idea of having Charles on his offense.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
you guys are right
the more posts I read the more I realize that things happen for a reason. A win is great. I wonder if Weis will have an influence in the draft?

I just love the fact that Cassel
Will have a guy who has developed young QB into a very successful, elite QB. Now, they have a guy too that can be in Cassel’s ear all the time, helping manage and run the offense, something a HC simple can’t do because he is in charge of the entire team! Great move and bringing in people who KNOW football!
Rank of skill of playing QB for the Chiefs
Cassel > Brodie's wife > Brodie
Come Crennel its your turn
Crennel will be in soon Pioli just needs to put enough zeros on his contract too. Lets get Weiss anouncement out the way and turn our attention to Crennel and a defensive line coach that can turn Dorsey, Jackson, and Magee into pro bowl lineman.
