Kansas City Chiefs Could Have Several Spots Open On Coaching Staff
by Joel Thorman on Jan 3, 2012 11:10 AM CST
Email
PrintThe Kansas City Chiefs could enter the 2012 season with multiple coaching spots to fill if things fall the way we think they will. We think Romeo Crennel will get the head coaching job and, according to reports, we think Bill Muir will "likely" retire.
So if that scenario plays out then the Chiefs could have multiple coaching spots to fill, along with whatever other natural attrition comes up.
First, it would be a defensive coordinator. Crennel was the team's defensive coordinator under Todd Haley and continued in that role when he took over as interim coach. He was asked at Monday's season-ending press conference if he would hire a defensive coordinator if he were given the full-time job and he didn't give a clear answer. Basically, he would evaluate his options.
Second, the Chiefs could need a new offensive coordinator. Reports dating back several weeks have indicated the Chiefs will be looking for offensive coordinators but Muir is stilli officially in that position. That said, if Muir does retire, as it's been suggested, then the Chiefs will be looking for a new offensive coorinator.
Third, the Chiefs could need a new offensive line coach if Muir retires. He held both positions and Pat Perles helped him out on the offensive line.
Fourth, if Crennel is named head coach, he could choose to make other coaching changes. We just don't know what those are yet.
So the Chiefs very well could be busy this year in the coaching department. I suspect they've already got a good idea of what's going to happen.

Also, Gibbs and/or Thomas could leave for a promotion.
Either one could be seen as a DC candidate for another team.

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
I'm hoping this
I’d like to see Thomas as our DC, he’s done a heck of a job with our secondary.

I think Gibbs would be in line to take over.
Thomas has been a secondary coach for a very long time, which says something about his perceived ability to take on more responsibility. Moving up Gibbs would also keep continuity in the defense.
He's only been a dedicated DB coach since he came to KC. His resume per Wikipedia:
* Central Missouri State (1979-1980)
* St. Louis Cardinals (1981-1985)
(Assistant coach)
* Washington Redskins (1986-1994)
(WR and DB coach)
* Philadelphia Eagles (1995-1998)
(Defensive coordinator)
* Green Bay Packers (1999)
(Defensive coordinator)
* Minnesota Vikings (2000-2001)
(Defensive coordinator)
* Atlanta Falcons (2002-2009)
(Assistant Head Coach and DB Coach)
* Atlanta Falcons (2007)
(Interim Head Coach)
* Kansas City Chiefs (2010-present)
(Defensive Backs coach)

He would be a fine candidate to take over the D, he might be ready for another run at it.
Yep, then we could hire Herm to Coach the DB’s, Haley to Coach the WR’s and Vermeil to be the OC… okay not really.
However, Emmitt as DC would suffice, but we would have to replace him. It’s hard to replace a legend.

WHY WHY WHY would we want a new DC
You might as well take a fat sh1t on the defense and trade away our playmakers
Because if rac is not a HC here, he will be a HC somewhere else next year. So, no matter what, chiefs need a new DC next year

Hopefully we'd get a young guy that Romeo could tutor.
If he stays in the HC spot, I hope the Hoopla keeps calling plays. Just needs a young grasshopper to do the in-week grunt work.

I would hate to keep RAC as DC if he becomes HC
Frankly, there just aren’t many people that do well as both HC and as a Coordinator. Fact is though that no matter who he hires as DC the guy will be running the defense the way RAC wants it. It’s not like he would hire a chump and just let the guy ruin the defense.
Insert witty yet thought provoking phrase here.
Seems like most of the recent Super Bowl champs

Which he’s done a fantastic job. I would say he’s done a good job with our coverage units as well. The problem is the constant errors by his players and the fact that potentially one of the most dynamic returners in the league is being wasted.

The fact that Arenas finished 3rd in punt returns and never took any to the house shows you how good he can be.
The views expressed by craig in calgary do not necessarily represent the views of all Canadians.

Zorn? surely there’s room to promote him somewhere?
yeah, he's done such a GREAT job with Cassel and Palko this year!

Give him an off-season and full camp first.
Kind of hard to evaluate his effectiveness yet. QB coach is most valuable during the off-season when more teaching is done and not just game prep.
I'm not necessarily opposed to Zorn.
But let’s not forget that he went straight from QB coach to HC. He was never a coordinator. I’m not sure how he would do in that capacity.
right,
b/c McDaniels will get so much out of the Offense after his tour of duty with the Donks & Lambs…..
Promote
Zorn to OC
Thomas to DC
Sirianni to QB coach
Then hire outside for Oline coach, DB coach.
Crennel fired Carthon as OC in Cleveland…I hope he does it again here….I’m not a Mo fan.
I also hope we get a different WR coach. Anderson has not help develop any WR.

Fuck it, I’m for this. GB just got a rec outta me.
Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills/
One man gathers what another man spills
What I think will happen
Gibbs promoted to DC, I remember Crennel crediting him with helping with the gameplan against the Pack, so it sounds like he’s in Crennels ear. Young guy that failed at DC previously, but give Crennel the reigns to playcalling and have Gibbs in an apprentice role.
Next Zorn, although some might not like this you can clearly see on the sidelines that he’s got a play chart and has been apart of offensive decisions since he got here. Crennel also credited him with gameplanning, and given the reigns to the O who knows could be a success. Better than the committee approach we’ve had going.
If not Zorn I want Tom Clements from GB I think he’s got a bright future.
Me and Matt Cassel just - you up, dog!
I like GIbbs as DC too.
And he probably deserves it if you’re promoting anyone from our team. I don’t mind Zorn but I’m a big Clements fan. If Tom does come though he can leave Flynn in Green Bay.

I consider this the most realistic option. The DC should be a promotion and OC should be someone who will take over HC in a few years.
"Hater" is a term used by weak-minded people in the face of legitimate criticism.
If that scenario plays out then I'd much rather the OC be Clements then Zorn.

When you look at improvements made by every single one of our starting LB's over the last few years

DC or HC Romeo HAS to stay
Could you imagine our offseason if we gotta look for an OC,DC,HC,ST<——DAMN
why?
plenty of people got fired on monday….time to steal a few?
or we could go 49ers and hire college coaches
plenty of people got fired on monday….time to steal a few?
Except that there’s usually a pretty good reason why those folks got fired and, generally, that reason is epic failure.
RAC was fired and we pick him up
I think he’s doing a good job. But that’s just me
Meh.
By that logic, Clancy Pendergast also got fired. We oughta bring him back.
Or, heck, Todd Haley got fired. He’s going to be another Marv Levy, where as soon as he’s gone from the Chiefs, he finds great success. Heck, let’s just bring him back on so that that great success can be found here.
There’s no one on the list of people who were fired that immediately jump out to me as people who ought to immediately be brought on to improve our team. Unless, there’s someone out there that you’re seeing that no one else is.
For one thing, your timeline is off.
Romeo was fired as Head Coach, took several years away, and then came back to a lower level position at which he’d previously excelled.
So, using Romeo as an example, you ought to only be looking for our coordinators from the list of people who were fired from head coaching positions after the 2009 season that they initially got after having previously lead teams to multiple Super Bowl victories (and, you know, ideally, have had a hip replaced).
Should be a short list, I’d imagine. Let us know what you come up with.

And look at all this debate he's created
People love to hate and just mentioning his name gets people riled up, sounds like good ratings to me.

Let me guess....
We basically played one on one defense across the board except for our weakest spot (safety), and Tebow was not a good enough NFL player to beat NFL players one on one.

They showed man press.
With a safety playing the middle of the field. DJ contained the outside, and forced a triangle surrounding Tebow as he scrambled back. Meanwhile, all the DBs playing man stuck right with their guys throughout the entire play. He pointed out that other teams have left their man to help contain Tebow, but the Chiefs remained disciplined in their coverage.
Kansas City Chiefs: Undefeated in 2012, baby!
That late discipline was the key.
Tebow time is a function of him getting desperate enough to fling passes that he was afraid to throw earlier. He has open (NFL definitions of open) receivers throughout the game, and I think he sees them, he just doesn’t trust himself to get the ball to them until he has no choice.

My crystal ball is more awesome than yours
Here we go with the speculation. Crennel will be our head coach. No, McDaniels will be. No, McDaniels can’t be head coach because Pioli can’t sell it to the fanbase, so he’ll be the OC for a couple years, only to fill the HC vacancy when Crennel retires. Bring in Fischer! No, bring Norv Turner as the OC! I said Zorn should be OC!!!! I CAN YELL LOUDER THAN EVERYONE!!!!!
Let’s all calm down a moment…because I’m about to speculate based on logic. All signs DO point to Crennel being the HC. He’s a Pioli guy (New England/Bill Parcells). The players like him. Most importantly, he’s old…and Pioli will use him as a stopgap in order to get another HC in a couple years. The only way Pioli can survive another coaching change in the future is if the HC in waiting is on the current staff.
What do we know: Pioli hires within his circle. His circle mainly consisting of the Patriots and Bill Parcells. Well – I’ve got two names for you – both previously head coaches. Both at a point in their career where they’d take and OC/DC position in an organization. Both connected to the Patriots and/or Bill Parcells.
OC – Tony Sparano. This was Parcells guy.
DC – Eric Mangini. Patriots.
I’m not saying I like it. I’m saying there’s a high probability. Now – feel free to blast me as you wish. But seriously, my crystal ball is rad.
I think that is possible, but if RAC is HC, then he gets to pick the OC and DC, you see

Can't see Mangini working for/with Crennel.
Or most other former Patriots staffers. Actually, I think that’s the main reason Pioli came here instead of Cleveland, because they asked him if he could work with Mangini as his coach.

This
And I can’t see mangini wanting to run romeos defense regardless of how close they are. Especially since Romeo would likely keep playcalling duties.

I've heard good things about Sparano, though. But don't know much about him.

His players sure love him.

That's the big stumbling block
Mangini wouldn’t want to run Crennel’s defense. Which flips my prediction on it’s head and lays the groundwork for promotion from within the organization.
My crystal ball is still hungover from New Years.
I don't like the move for Eric Mangini (his brightest moment was when Tony Soprano mentioned him.)
but after I watched the Chiefs hire back Gunther… any rifts can close.
Meh...

Just sign Peyton Manning. We get our QB and he can be the OC.
Crennel can be HC and DC.
Problems solved.
This is Haley's coaching staff right now. Whoever the new HC is they should have the autonomy to hire their own coaches.
Fuck continuity. Hire the best possible coaching staff.
Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.
