Romeo Crennel Says Brian Daboll Had Multiple Suitors

The Kansas City Chiefs made it official and hired Brian Daboll as their new offensive coordinator. In the release provided by the team a few minutes ago, Daboll and head coach Romeo Crennel are quoted about the move.

"This is a great opportunity," Daboll said. "After meeting with Romeo, it was clear to me Kansas City was a good fit. I have a lot of respect for Romeo and a strong appreciation for the Kansas City Chiefs franchise. Romeo and I have similar ideas on the direction of the program and we have a good core group of players to get started with. I'm ready to get in as soon as possible and start working to be a part of something special."

With the injured guys like Jamaal Charles and Tony Moeaki coming back, the Chiefs do have the pieces in place to be a very dynamic offense.

"Brian is a fine football coach and offensive mind," said Crennel. "I worked with him when he was a young coach in New England and I am proud of the way his career has developed. We had a very thorough process for this position and it was clear to me that Brian was the right choice. He was coveted by multiple teams and I am glad he will be joining our staff."

Interesting tidbit from Crennel there -- Daboll was "coveted by multiple teams". I'm not sure who those teams were -- they never made it to the public -- but I found it interesting he noted that in his quote.

That "coveted by multiple teams" bit...

that’s part of the soft sell the Chiefs are trying to do to win the fans over on this guy’s less than stellar track record.

What they don't say

Is those teams that “coveted” him only wanted him for WR or QB coach.

But we shall see what happens…he deserves a chance to prove his worth.

I was about to add that coveting him as Ball boy, or attitude adjuster doesn’t quite count.

by Topchief1 on Feb 6, 2012 3:51 PM CST up reply actions  

Would it really matter?

If X other teams wanted him or if 0 other teams wanted him?

All 32 teams wanting him wouldn’t matter to those that have predetermined that he’s going to fail here.
Not a single team wanting him wouldn’t matter to those either high on Daboll or at least willing to wait and see.

I guess I’m just saying I don’t know why Romeo would give a gerbil-turd about whether the fans do or don’t like this hire. And moreover, why he would try to smooth it over if he thought we didn’t.

by Ochophosphate on Feb 6, 2012 1:25 PM CST up reply actions  

I think it matters a great deal

and I’m sure the new PR man and probably Pioli have both said as much. Especially given the very public black-eye recently. It matters to the organization as a whole and as a result, it’s important to Romeo.

Exactly

If the Chiefs were doing their hiring based on Question 2, then they really would be a joke of a franchise. Thank God that’s not how they do it. They need to get the people they feel are the best for the job, and that is their responsibility. Plain and simple.

by cheapham on Feb 6, 2012 2:02 PM CST up reply actions  

Not entirely true

They still have to sell tickets. No matter the circumstances teams will put a positive spin on everything to influence ticket sales. Anyone who thinks otherwise is ignoring half of an oganizations responsibilities.

Whether what is said is true and whether it works is up for debate, but teams will always spin.

Remember the PR guy in hard knocks prepping D-Bowe (I think) before his first interview, if you think those conversations don’t go on with every member of an organization that speaks to the media, you’re crazy.

Nothing sells tickets better than winning.

Therefore, they’re going to hire people who they feel gives them the best chance at that.

That's all fine and well if it were that simple but I don't think it is.

First off, compared to other possibilities, this guy’s resume looks like a turd. Second, you can bet the organization gives a shit about every last detail of fan approval right now. You factor both of those things in after a massive public black-eye and a season where the offense just plain stunk, I think it matters a whole lot. and FWIW, I think they should have made a better hire than this. As a fan who pays money to see this team, I fucking care.

by Buck'O on Feb 6, 2012 2:38 PM CST up reply actions  

Point taken

but if the team starts out strong and wins games – that erases everything. All of the off-season talk doesn’t matter anymore nor does his resume or whether we thought he was worth a damn or not.

I think I’ve slid off-track a little from the original comment… backing out of the rabbit-hole a bit here, I would say my original point was just that I don’t think Romeo is out there saying “Daboll was coveted” just to pat the average Chiefs fan on the head and make them feel warm and fuzzy. I think he was saying it because it was true and there were other suitors. No need to go down the “they’re going to sell this to us any way they can” implying that they’re blowing smoke up our ass. If he feels like this was the best choice, that’s it.

On another note – I don’t remember there being this much discourse after we hired Muir as OC last year, and that was a WAY more spotty pick-up than what we just pulled here. Even when we hired Solari to follow Saunders there was less bitching and moaning than over Daboll. I don’t understand how people found a way to give them the benefit of the doubt and let them prove it on the field but are so up-in-arms about Daboll that they’re on the verge of not watching them next year or not buying any more tickets. I’m not pointing to you specifically Buck – but I’ve heard a number of people throw up their virtual-arms and say “I’m done” over this. It just doesn’t make sense to me that this was really the “freak out” point.

by Ochophosphate on Feb 6, 2012 3:09 PM CST up reply actions  

We all assumed Haley was gonna run the offense, not Muir.

Daboll’s gonna have the whole ball o’ wax in his own hands. It’s something to be nervous about.

On the other hand, I don’t know of any other potential OC’s that would have been slam dunks, so I don’t really get the complaining over Daboll.

Bingo.

The guy had a less than stellar record in Cleveland. Okay, I don’t remember anyone in the past several years that has made the Browns an offensive juggernaut. Miami actually had a pretty good offense the last half of last season. That was with a QB equivelant (or worse) than Cassel.

Until Romeo shows that he is dishonest, I take him at his word. I think Daboll will be just fine.

by Tyran on Feb 6, 2012 1:26 PM CST up reply actions  

I am actually encouraged...

miami’s offense was as anemic as ours for the first 8 games of the season. Then they fired the HC and suddenly they had really good Offense. Making me believe it was the HC and not Daboll who was the problem. He got Bush to play exactly to his talents and is the only OC to get him to perform at that high a level in his career. Which is exactly how we should be using Charles and McCluster. Swing outs and getting them to the edge with good blocking schemes. Not to mention Moore actually started to play pretty well there at the end. And whether he is the starter next year or not Cassel is better than Moore by a good margin. So I am cautiously optimistic after some thought and looking at some of the stuff from the end of last year.

Raheem Morris was just HC and now he is DB coach.

It doesn’t matter who you are in the NFL….you are not entitled to anything.

Daboll is lucky to be given an OC job again. He failed in Cleveland and did ok in Miami. He isn’t entitled to anything!

daboll is a guy who has got the most out of mediocre qb's, and in some cases, flat out poor qb's like derek anderson.

so if the team ends up stuck with some sort of cassel/orton situation, or cassel/stanzi dogfight, maybe he is the best option available after all to get the most out of cassel or orton.

lets hope so. hes young too, lot of room to improve, lot of talent to use to do so.

track the career of Al Saunders after he left here.

He hasn’t been given much of a chance. He’s at a place a year or two and then there’s massive turnover with the staff and he isn’t retained.

However, there is evidence that his offense can be potent with players who are experienced in it. Jason Campbell went down in Washington, and Todd Collins (remember him?) stepped in and performed quite well.

skepticism is understandable

but that’s a choice between optimism and pessimism.

Look, the current administration, no matter what you think of them, isn’t trying to repeat the twenty years under Peterson, or the twenty before that.

Crucifying the OC and the OC hire before he has settled into his desk is a bit much. Pioli has been here three years and no Super Bowl berth means he sucks? Okay, fine. The Haley hire and rotating OC’s hasn’t been too great for Cassel and the offense. This hire, Daboll, may finally produce some stability.

With the weapons he has, and if the injured players return and play well, I don’t see how the offense does not improve. If he can develop Stanzi and give us a look at what else we’ve got on the roster, bonus. If Cassel plays well and improves over his “Pro Bowl” year, double bonus.

If KC brings in another QB to improve the position, triple win win win bonus.

if we’re getting a new system, and by all accounts, we are, that’s a learning curve right there that probably suggests it won’t work altogether well this year, and will take about a year to be fully installed for it to be successful. Which means 2012 is another wasted year.

You leave out the constant in this whole mess…the Hunt family. Who for better or worse have tossed loyalty to GMs who made money for the team (Steadman and Peterson) over actual performance and championships. that HASN’T changed.

is for OC, not position coaches. Naming a few potentials or types may have come up, but until you can go out and get some people (by asking permission) it’s just theoreticals. You can look at his previous hires (if he had any) and get an idea.

Yes he sure did

I am somewhat excited to see what this guy can do. Think:

Charles>Bush
Bowe and Marshall are very similar WR’s
Matt Moore / Chad Henne are in the same ballpark as Matt Cassel

A lot of people around here are calling Romeo’s defense “near elite”. Look what Day-Bull did to that “near elite” defense AT ARROWHEAD!

I will take Miami's line over ours

in a heartbeat

The only measure of true success in the NFL is the Vince Lombardi trophy. Anything less is a rationalization.

Would you take their line over ours

with the addition of DeCastro?

Best audition ever

Even if Daboll didn’t know he was auditioning at the time

I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.

Daboll had multiple suitors

Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Winnepeg Blue Bombers

Pretty sure the

Walla Walla Wallaby’s
Poughkeepsie Pap-Smears
and the Dill City Dingleberries were also interested.

Any arena teams want daboll

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.

as long as peyton manning likes him

Interesting

Guess they’ve been reading the opinion polls on AP and realized that people weren’t exactly stoked about their choice of yet another former Patriots coach.

Daboll had better produce with Cassel quickly or Pioli may not get that fifth year at the rate he’s alienating the fan base.

by UCrawford on Feb 6, 2012 2:05 PM CST reply actions  

maybe Daboll will produce quickly

with The One.

It is time to anoint the Stanzi. He is The One.

this offense looks juicy and delicious,

but i know it really is average with the qbs that are under contract….

It would help if KC was able to re-sign Orton

I know he isn’t Manning, but he sure is better than Cassel. Even his fake hand-offs and play action passes are better.

It's Not Busta

Can’t remember the name of the actor, but he also played Lord Bowler in “The Adventures of Briscoe County, Jr.”. He died not too long ago.

Alright.. I looked it up

It was called The Last Dragon.. Apparently they are remaking it with Samuel L Jackson as Sho’nuff. This from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Dragon

"It's still real to me dammit!"

by Matt in KC on Feb 6, 2012 4:22 PM CST up reply actions  

I always remember it as

Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon

At least that’s how it always appeared on HBO or wherever the hell I subjected myself to it.

Good luck… it will kick the shit out of Sex and the City 2.

by Ochophosphate on Feb 6, 2012 4:36 PM CST up reply actions  

Yea right

There was other teams stupid enough to want a 22nd ranked offense at best. Pioli and company tells us this because nobody want to come here due to the issues in the front office. I’ve spent my last 30 years footbal sundays on the Chiefs and they have never even tried. I dont know why I waste my time.
P.S. I will still be stoked for our first game next season.

we all might as well give him a year before we get are pitchforks out

There is nothing we can do where all chiefs fans and love are team we might as well set back and pray they pull somethin good out of there hat, you only got a few more shots to get this right pioli

"coveted". Right.

And people are acting like Crennel wasn’t told to say that for PR purposes?

You’re hilarious, AP.
