KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Charlie Weis has agreed to become the offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs, according to team and league sources.

Weis could be named to the position within the next 24 to 48 hours, the sources said.

Weis will be reunited with head coach Todd Haley, with whom he shared an office when both were young assistants with the New York Jets. Weis also will be reunited with Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who was the Patriots vice president of player personnel when Weis was the offensive coordinator for three Super Bowl championships before going to coach at Notre Dame.

The Bears had also been in the mix to hire Weis as offensive coordinator but the Chiefs won out.

Haley ran the offense in his first year with the Chiefs after dismissing offensive coordinator Chan Gailey. Haley had expressed a desire to find a coordinator so he could better manage his head coaching responsibilities.

Weis was dismissed last fall with a 35-27 record in five seasons at Notre Dame.

"Charlie's a guy I have a great amount of respect for as a coach," Haley said Wednesday at his final news conference of the season. "He's a coach that system-wise, I would say we're as close as you can be. Charlie's a guy I consider a friend and I've talked to throughout the year, no different from some of the other guys I lean on for things and advice."

Haley has begun a staff evaluation and said he has already released offensive line coach Joe D'Allessandris and defensive line coach Tim Krumrie. Many fans also hope defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast will be replaced, possibly by former Cleveland coach Romeo Crennel.

Haley was noncommittal about Crennel and Pendergast.

"No conversations in that order to this point," he said.

The emergence of running back Jamaal Charles, voted the team's MVP, gives the offense something to build on next year.

"I really believe we were able to lay a foundation for the Kansas City Chiefs," Haley said. "We were able to set expectations for our players of what's expected of them both schematically and offseason, in season and practice -- the way we're going to do things as a team on a consistent basis. I believe that foundation was laid.

"It was a very difficult year, a year we were able to make progress, as evidenced by the way the season wound down."

The Chiefs are expected to be busy in the offseason trying to fill gaping needs, including defensive back, wide receiver, linebacker, defensive line and tight end.

They pick fifth in April's draft. The could have picked third, but instead ended Haley's rookie year on a rousing high by beating Denver 44-24 in the season finale.

Are you talking about 10 wins next year or 10 wins is the most this regime will ever win in a season?

Mr. Laz · 01-06-2010, 06:11 PM

man, i just hope this means we can work on improving our techniques on offense.

cassel's footwork is crap,his play-action-pass fake is almost non-existent, the offensive line can't hide a screen worth a crap etc etc.

You couldn't put a guy in a worse situation.

Before the draft last year, I compared Freeman to Campbell, and it turns out that I think I was right, but for the wrong reasons. Campbell and Freeman are both better than I thought, as it turns out.

I kinda feel bad for the dude. What a wast of talent.

Hell I'd take him right now. For "competition" you know cuz it makes us stronger...

I don't think this team has ran a successful screen since 2006.

I didn't tell you 3 days ago before BRC did, but I did say it from my source at around 1:30 today.

Is he going to be a UFA if there is no CBA? Im not sure.

We have a regime with a history of drafting 3-4 lineman in the first round, but who haven't produced a pass rusher of their own in well....ever.

Who was the last 3-4 edge rusher NE drafted that made any impact?

We have a QB with the keys to the franchise who is basically a homeless man's Rich Gannon.

I think that we could build the 1997 Chiefs without Derrick Thomas.

That's probably a 10 win team.

Maybe a 10 win team in 2011. Maybe a 13 win team in 2012. And then BAHM! the world ends in route to our first superbowl. Sucks being a Chiefs fan.

Big deal. Show me on the field. I watched this board welcome the return of an aviator glasses wearing moron, hailing him as a savior. I didn't fall for it when Carl did it, and I won't fall for it on this hire.

Prove it to me, Chiefs. You no longer deserve the faith of this fan.

seaofred · 01-06-2010, 06:16 PM

I love this hire.
