Chiefs Teicher: Muir is the latest to endorse Crennel

Muir is the latest to endorse Crennel

Offensive coordinator Bill Muir took time in his usual weekly news conference to do a couple things. First, he became the latest to endorse Romeo Crennel as the permanent head coach. He also took a swipe at former coach Todd Haley. Without mentioning Haley by name, Muir suggested the offense last week operated more efficiently with Crennel as his boss. The Chiefs appeared to relay the play-call to quarterback Kyle Orton in a manner that was consistently more timely than when Haley was the head coach. ''If you thought it appeared that,'' Muir said, ''then it probably was. ''Romeo delegates authority and expects the people who are given authority to do their job. He’s hands-on and he knows what he wants. As long as he’s getting it, he’s pretty calm. If he’s not getting it, then the calmness disappears in a hurry.'' Muir also suggested Crennel was the best hire for the Chiefs as their permanent head coach. ''Romeo is an excellent choice at this particular time,'' Muir said. ''He’s good for this football team. The Kansas City Chiefs would do well to hire Romeo Crennel. ''He’s the man for the job here. The defense has started to turn the corner. I think it would be a shame to change that. Romeo’s demeanor as a head football coach relates very well to the players. He has a sternness about him without being a dictatorial type of man. He will do a good job.''

How uncommon is all of this lobbying for an interim coach? I don't ever recall it happening anywhere near this level, but admittedly I don't pay much attention to other teams' coaching searches.

Going to put Romeo on the spot when he has to fire him after the season's over

**BigMeatballDave** · 12-22-2011, 11:23 PM

Shit. How can Crennel possibly fire Muir now?

if last week was any indication he may not have to fire him.
(i know the Packs defense helped out)
so we'll see how he calls the game vs the Raiders.

But IMO the OC problem has been fired already.

HMMMMM.....sounds like a guy that knows Crennel is his only possible chance of retaining any kind of employment status in the NFL next year.

Pioli is in a pickle. If doesn't hire Romeo then he risks a mutany by the players.

Perhaps their performance will suffer if Crennel doesn't get the job.

Wait 'til you see what happens if he gets the job.

There's always that risk.

I don't see it that way... I think he gets the easy out here... if Crennel wins out, he "has" to keep him and doesn't need to take any big risks.. if Crennel loses to EITHER Oakland or Denver... all the optimism the fans have right now will evaporate.. and make it easy to pick a new coach.

The problem will be with Muir if we win out and the offense takes significant strides forward. Much harder for Pioli to excuse firing him at that point.

It's the players I was refering to. While they will play it could be hard to get them to buy into a different HC.

Yeah what to do with Muir would be an issue.

Ah, but it will appear to be Romeo's decision.... absolving Pioli of direct guilt. (even though he will be intimately involved).
