Chiefs Coaching Staff Should Be Done 'Soon'

PrintWe may have some news on the Kansas City Chiefs coaching soon. Really soon.
Romeo Crennel talked with Soren Petro and Co. on 810 WHB this afternoon and Crennel said he hopes to have the staff complete "soon".
"One of those things that pops up with Bill Muir retiring so now I have to extend my search because I need an offensive line coach," Crennel said. "We are going to work through it but I think relatively soon we'll be able to tell everybody who we have and how we're gonna go forward."
As for a timetable, Crennel said he hoped to get some things done over the weekend. So we might be hearing about the Chiefs coaching staff very soon.
To review, the Chiefs are still looking for an offensive coordinator, offensive line and receivers coach.

I hope SB nation is making some coin buy putting this guy on the site.
will the chiefs ever draft a Qb in the first round, not since todd blackledge in 83. and the chiefs could of had marino. OH well atleast 65 toss power trap worked for KC, it should be wide open red. Hank stram still the man.

Didn't he just say a few days ago that it would be a couple of weeks?
Or did I miss a few days and that was actually a couple of weeks ago.
"Give them nothing! But take from them everything!"
I don't recall him ever saying that.

…but one thing piqued my interest about the quote in this article… He mentioned the search for an O-Line Coach, but said nothing about a Offensive Coordinator. Hmm, makes you wonder if he has already selected one…

Yesterday
he indicated that he’d like to get into coaching sooner rather than later. Of course, he needs to start as an assistant line coach before being given the whole ball of wax.

Shields...
doesn’t need to assist anyone. he could jump right in and be the head lines coach.
by 12t on Feb 2, 2012 5:11 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah, I don't see why this couldn't be true.
O line coach is already technically an assistant. If the HC and OC think he can handle it, why not?
When you gotta go in the lion's den, you don't go quiet. You go in loud, kick the door down and say WHERE IS THE SONUVABITCH. -B. Billick
Because he's never done it before?
There is a lot more to being the OL coach than just teaching technique. He has to develop strategy, help with gameplanning, manage various personalities, etc. Just because he was a great player doesn’t mean he’d be a great coach, especially on his first day on the job.
"The Chiefs are in great hands with Romeo and Scott and I wish them nothing but the best." - Bill Muir
He's not an ex-golfer
trying to be a HC. Can he coach? Who knows, but if Crennel thinks he can work well with him that would be good enough for me.
by 12t on Feb 2, 2012 5:51 PM CST up reply actions
Well, I personally don't think that will happen.
So will it be good enough for you when Crennel doesn’t hire him as the OL coach?
"The Chiefs are in great hands with Romeo and Scott and I wish them nothing but the best." - Bill Muir
RAC also said he'd like to have Kyle Orton back with the team
Personally, I found that promising. I think Pioli will at least respect RAC enough to make a play for Orton.
by Chief Willie Wildcat on Feb 2, 2012 2:48 PM CST reply actions
Didn’t Pioli say they would talk to Orton about his situation first?
"Hater" is a term used by weak-minded people in the face of legitimate criticism.
Something to that effect.
"The Chiefs are in great hands with Romeo and Scott and I wish them nothing but the best." - Bill Muir
alright, the problem here is everyone (or even anyone, really) thinking that the Coaching Staff is ever "done"
it’s never “done” but rather it’s a “work in progress” … new coaches in, old coaches out, constantly churning the coaching staff roster and, of course, the continual search for new talent
this, then, becomes the central and motivating issue as to whether the organization addresses these coaching staff needs thru free agency or the draft … and of course should the answers lie in the draft process itself, that will beg the question of “value” at our position, and if we’re better off drafting an OC early on or an OL coach and “settling” for an OC from a lower round
obviously this draft is full of OC prospects, but to rely on an unproven talent is a dangerous game, and it might be wise for the Chiefs to address this need in free agency instead, thus allowing the team to add proven talent and achieve maximum value at the same time

see, the fallacy is in thinking that one coach can carry the team
that’s a misguided perception that usually ends up in failure, look at the Rams: they got their HCotF but at what price?
no, I honestly and sincerely believe that a team needs to fill other holes in the coaching staff first, and THEN go after that HCotF type later on … and there’s always another guy out there next year, and the year after … the worst thing we could do at this juncture would be to rely on some young, untested rookie to do everything by himself without the protection and help afforded by other coaches on the team

"The Chiefs are in great hands with Romeo and Scott and I wish them nothing but the best." - Bill Muir
not sure I completely agree with that line of thinking ...
… it might be best to actually trade back a few spots, as deep as the coaching talent is this year, perhaps get a few extra coaches to develop along the way, and even a few extra picks that we could use for next year’s coaching draft

Alright, if we hypothetically only habe three options for OC, what's your vote:
1) Al Saunders
2) Jim Zorn
3) Hue Jackson

Zorn
Chiefs didn’t let him interview with the Bears. Any new OC will bring his own staff including QB coach so that move didn’t make any sense unless he is the front runner for the position. Zorn WANTS the job. He knows the talent we have and how the Chiefs work. Looking at his resume, he is a winner. All evidence points to Zorn.

Actually, I think the HC would be making the final decisions on the staff, not the OC...
Not sure that a new OC could demand the organization and HC to release a QB coach that has spent the least year with the GM’s prize pig.
"saints_chiefsfan1979 is a genius" - yes, I lost a bet.
Also, the chiefs could easily have denied the Bears the right to interview just based on the fact that
Zorn’s move would be lateral and he’s under contract in KC. Unless CHI wanted to trade something they’re just SoL.

Al Saunders.
Seems to fit into the time frame perfectly:
Last week, Bill Muir: “I’m not retiring”
Yesterday afternoon, Bill Muir: “I’m retiring”
Yesterday evening, Bob Gretz: “Al Saunders met with Crennel and the Chiefs this week”
Today, Crennel: “Relatively soon we’ll be able to tell everybody who we have and how we’re gonna go forward.”
Tomorrows news will have KC fans buzzing, I do believe…

Could be.
But I doubt we’d be poaching an OC from either the Giants or Pats. It would be a position coach to promote. Not sure I’d be too keen on that move, considering we could have Saunders again, or even Hue Jackson. Or just promote our own position guy…
