Chiefs Offensive/Defensive Coordinator Update: There Is No Update

The Kansas City Chiefs officially introduced Romeo Crennel as the new head coach at a Monday afternoon press conference attended by Crennel, owner Clark Hunt and GM Scott Pioli. The guys had their introductory comments and then got into the Q&A session, which was highlighted by some coordinator and quarterback talk.

We'll start with the coordinator talk.

Offensive coordinator: "I don't know who it's going to be." That's your update. Exciting, right? So I'm not sure what Bill Muir's role will be if he doesn't retire, as NFL Network has reported he is likely to do. Crennel said that the OC position could be filled from inside or outside the building (as opposed to underneath) but no decision had been made.

Defensive coordinator: There's been a report that Chiefs linebackers coach Gary Gibbs could be promoted to DC but Crennel did not comment on that. He said the search for a defensive coordinator continues and, interestingly, he didn't rule himself out as the coordinator. The idea of Crennel sticking as the defensive coordinator is really the only bit of news we have in this one.

So the big update is....there is no update. (To be fair, we didn't expect a big update.) We're not any closer to finding the next coordinators for the Chiefs.

This is the most important part of the process...

Who else wants answers sooner rather than later?

Did the Chiefs re-up on the ability to be cute with information with the hiring of Romeo Crennel?

Who is the right fit?

Welcome to the Romeo Crennel era. For better or worse, it begins!

I want him to call the defensive plays,

but I’d really like to see him get some up-and-comer to do the dirty work during the week. Like McCarthy/Philbin.

Mel Tucker is intriguing

as is Jack Del Rio…

I want another DC brought in for the sake of game planning. Let us not forget the blowouts this season. Maybe it was all Haley, but new perspective under the tutelage of Romeo Crennel is welcome in my book.

This defense is far from good to go… it needs someones undivided attention IMO.

Is Mel still under contract with Jax?

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.

I have no idea what his contract situation is

but unless they pull a Kansas City, he will most likely be available.

Jacksonville is going into full scale rebuilding mode…my guess.

Agreed--the day-to-day stuff can't be the HC's responsibility, IMO

It works for some guys, but I don’t want Crennel to have that on his shoulders as he starts out.

I gotta admit, when we were having this same conversation about Haley being OC,

I didn’t even want him to call plays. I just wanted him to be HC during the game. But Romeo’s proven his defensive play calling skills, and I don’t think there’d be anybody better as long as we’re running his defense.

Yeah, gameday is a different issue

It’d be great if Crennel had a guy who could implement the HC’s philosophy during the week, support the gameday playcalling of Crennel, and maybe offer a few new looks/perspectives from his own background. That’d be ideal, IMO.

Has anyone read "Good to Great"?

Romeo seems to fit the mold of a “level 5 leader” (that’s a good thing) more than the average NFL coach. Research proved that companies with a humble, self-sacrificial, genuinley-interested-in-others leaders were more likely to become great companies.

Self-centered people are the best at calling attention to themselves and thereby get promoted.

In case anyone is interestred...

Here’s a link to some videos by the author about level 5 leadership.

He’s a well-respected author of these types of books. No, I’m not getting paid by him. :) Thought it was worth saying that he’s legit and not-infomercialy.

Pioli only seems to display 4 of these 7 traits - I think we are ok???

Habit #3: They think they have all the answers
Habit #4: They ruthlessly eliminate anyone who isn’t completely behind them
Habit #6: They underestimate obstacles
Habit #7: They stubbornly rely on what worked for them in the past

If it wasn’t for the accursed paycheck, would I really imprison myself in this dungeon of the human soul?

I dunno ... 4 out of 7 on the wrong side, not looking great but we MIGHT survive if he leaves Crennel alone

With Josh McDaniels gone...

I have a feeling Jim Zorn could be our offensive coordinator. Can anyone else see that as a possibility?
