All Signs Continue Pointing To Romeo Crennel As Chiefs Head Coach

nah who we kiddin’, Romeo will get the job and it’s just a matter of when, not if.

He’ll most Likley go to Miami . I’m ok with Romeo . He went 2- 1 and that loss was in overtime . Plus he was working with alot of backups and what not . He does good things with our defense and he can continue to . If we get a good OC I think we should be ok .

win a playoff game…….this is what we’re going to get. Now, if someone would eventually like to win a Super Bowl, then you have to go big time and get an elite head coach. Pioli is the GM, it’s his decision I’m sure, with input from Hunt, but Crennel is not going to take this or any other team to the SB. Great DC, good guy, but mediocre HC at best.

While I think he went overboard at times, I think he did a great job of keeping the team motivated, in shape and hungry. I was a little worried Romeo’s laid back approach might be a little too easy. However, I think this team might have enough veteran leaders now that they don’t need that type of coach breathing down their necks. I’ll be ok with Romeo as long as they bring in a great OC. I’d honestly like Norv if he gets fired. I was strongly opposed to McDaniels, but someone on here (can’t recall who) wrote a post including the hiring of McDaniels and stressing that he has had success with Cassel in the past. That makes some sense to me. I’d be open to other options as well, but it has to be someone with a decently long resume of quality experience.

really good coach pops up from a co-ordinator position or from a college background. It takes someone with Pioli’s contacts I’m sure to find that person. I really like the LSU coach but have no idea if he’s interested in the pro game. I know that Fisher was pretty successful even though he had problems with Adams telling him who to play and maybe this would be the problem with Pioli too. Fisher has the experience and background, is still relatively young and has had a year off and definately wants back in so if there isn’t anyone else, he might be the best hire. For all we know, maybe he and Pioli have already talked and maybe Fisher doen’t like KC or the organization. I just want a quality hire and not the easiest hire. And by firing Haley early, Pioli has had a chance to get the jump on the other teams.

pretty long period. The only coach that I know of that probably deserves to be called elite is Cowyer butt that’s JMO. I believe that Romeo is just too much of a nice guy and he’ll have the team for awhile and then they’ll start to run the show. You need team leaders but it still has to come from the top. I’m a big believer in discipline. Haley might have taken it too far but maybe not. We don’t know what all the problems may have been but I just can not see Crennel be the hard ass when he needs to be. I might be wrong and he might turn out great but it really concerns me and means another 3 years of mediocrity.

Also -That’s why the McDaniels for OC Rumors should scare the heck out of everyone. If RC hires him as OC (and would also have to give him Asst . Head Coach title because of rules surrounding McD still be under contract…he has to be offered a promotion). Guess who that makes the head coach in waiting… J. McD. No thanks to that scenario. I can honestly say that I’m out if McD is hired in any capacity. How bad do you think all the fans will freak at the first sign of a poor offense under McD Tired of all the negativity around the coaching staff the last several years that has caused all the fan apathy. McD, in any capacity is a terrible choice from both a PR and football perspective.

why Haley is not here any longer. Romeo may fit the bill, but the Coach who was fired recently in Miami may just be the guy. One thing about little Joshy is he knows that concept which Pioli wants implemented here. A new poster to AP, a guy named Shackett, pointed this out. It’s a scheme thing, getting the players involved in different packages.

Is he a oc or dc?

first off Cowher won’t come here, i’m still unsure that he wants to leave TV, he seems pretty happy there… next is Fisher, and why would anybody be content with a .500 average career?? i believe if we hire Fisher, it will be to much like the Vermeil era and yeah we get to the playoffs but i believe we lose every game… as for MCD, yeah, no thanks… why bring somebody who won the first 8 games of his HC career and didn’t even make the playoffs?? also he was the one that draft Tim Tebow cause that’s his kind of QB… only person i could see really fitting into what KC wants to do is Crennel, he may be some what of a players Coach, but he still believes in a firm hand and discipline but also tells it how it is which is why the players love him so much (believe also it’s from having a previous coach that gave every player the cold shoulder), now with that being said i could see truthfully Jim Zorn being promoted to OC… if Muir retires, if not Muir might stay as OC or be demoted to O-line coach again

get off your lazy ass, pick up your phone, dial some phone numbers, throw some numbers down and lets resign Carr, Bowe, Gilberry, Mcclain, and Piscitelli (he’s grown on me some, and that’s for sure Crennel’s little experment developemental player..)

it would be nice to keep a safety backup just in case, and perfferably that knows the expectations of Crennel and his system already…

That is one of the things that I really liked about this years D. When the O was on the field, Crennel was over going over things with the defensive players, making adjustments, etc. That is one of the things that we will lose, IMO, if Crennel is the HC. He will be responsible for the entire team and will not be able to “concentrate” on the D. IMO, he is much better suited and qualified to be the DC and even at that, the Raiders, for example, completely two long passes and a fake punt for a TD that was not detected. I’m just saying, Crennel is very good as DC, not perfect by any means, but IMO just not up to being HC. The D will suffer w/o him as DC and will obviously have to hire/promote to a new DC.

I’m worried about him backing off of the defensive duties and having a DC that may not get the best out of the defense, then Pioli insisting that Josh McDaniels be the coach in waiting, and also insisting that Cassel is the QBOTF. Crennel being head coach should be the least of everyone’s worries.

Then I would be concerned because if that happens, what of Crennel? Do you think he will stay here as the d.c. after being a head coach even if it was for only three games? Will someone else try to hire him for the head coach job or even d.c. job?
After everything Chiefs put me through, I would love to keep Crennel here. Even if it means removing the “interim” from the head coach title because for the first time in long time, this Chiefs team actually looked like a NFL team for three games in row.
