Of course, I didn't expect Crennel's shortcomings to show up in such a fast and furious manner. Nor did I expect him to be so utterly useless to the defense.

I expected it. Because again, people obsess over X's and O's. I told people months ago, Romeo is way too likable a guy to be a good head coach and he cares too much about the thinking part of the game to worry about conditioning.
The Chiefs have to stop hiring based on resume or fit with their offense or defense. They need to start interviewing good motivators, leaders, and teachers. You can find those if you look hard enough. And they're not always on elite defensive or offensive staffs. If you narrow the coaching pool down to your small tree, you're screwed.
