Whitlock LOLs at the Patsification of the Chiefs
http://www.kansascity.com/sports/col...y/1682402.html

Wake me when the Chiefs sign Tom Brady, the one with two healthy knees and fearless pocket demeanor.

Until then, I’ll take a wait-and-see approach with Scott Pioli’s New England Relocation Plan.

Right now, this smells like a Jackson Five reunion tour without Michael (Brady) or Janet (Bill Belichick).

Romeo “Tito” Crennel, the defensive coordinator, joins Pioli, Charlie Weis, Matt Cassel, Mike Vrabel and ex-Pats to be named later in what appears to be a lame attempt at recreating the New England Dynasty.

Let me apologize for being unimpressed with this lineup.

You’re tired of reading it, and I’m tired of writing it. Unfortunately, I’m paid to tell you what I really think. Romeo Crennel sounds great on paper. He won three Super Bowls while holding the title of “defensive coordinator” for Belichick’s Patriots.

Tito sold a bunch of records plucking a guitar and singing backup for Michael Jackson. Without The Gloved One, we never heard of Tito again until Michael passed.

Romeo flamed out in Cleveland as a head coach. Of all the Belichick assistants during the Super Bowl years, Crennel was the one with the least amount of responsibility on his plate. Belichick designed the defenses.

When Crennel got the Cleveland job, I asked a longtime Patriots defender what he thought of the hire, and the player told me flat out that he never envisioned Romeo as a head coach.

It’s just one player, one opinion. And not being head-coach material doesn’t disqualify someone from being a top-flight coordinator.

In fact, I touched base with the player again on Wednesday, and he assured me that Crennel installed the defensive game plan throughout the week without interference from Belichick and that Crennel called the game.

The player also assured me that Belichick had his fingerprints on everything that transpired with the team — special teams, offense, defense and front-office decisions.

I’m just not sold on Crennel. As a coordinator, Crennel has far more to prove than Charlie Weis. No one I’ve talked to doubts Weis’ ability to create innovative game plans. (Everyone I’ve talked to doubts Weis’ ability to control his ego.)

Crennel worked for Belichick, who specializes in defense. Bill Parcells never won a Super Bowl without Belichick working as his defensive coordinator.

Hey, maybe one day we will be saying the same thing about Belichick and Crennel.

Today, all I’m sure of is that Crennel’s hiring increases the likelihood that Todd Haley is in a make-or-break season in 2010.

If things go poorly next season, don’t look for Pioli, Weis and Crennel to take the blame. They have nine Super Bowl rings among them. In their mind, they know exactly what it takes to win at the highest level in the NFL.

Haley either has no political savvy, no interest in playing the kind of politics that enhances a coach’s longevity or zero leverage when putting together a coaching staff.

Given the previous working relationship of Pioli, Weis and Crennel — and Weis’ oversized ego — it would be a seamless transition for Pioli to install Weis as head coach midway through the 2010 season or at the start of 2011.

My gut says Haley’s ego and gambling nature make him unaware of the ramifications of his decisions. Firing Chan Gailey was a colossal error. With the offensive personnel provided to him by Pioli, Haley should’ve held on to Gailey for a season. There was no reason for the head coach to attach his reputation and credibility to a receiver-less offense.

Good coaches are paranoid. They perceive every move by ownership/management as a potential threat to their power. Paranoia is what drives a good coach to be great. Paranoia is what makes a coach sleep at his office and punt on fourth down.

Look at Belichick. He’s been spoiled by success. That’s why he went for it on fourth and 2 against the Colts. He’s losing his paranoia.

Haley’s background is extremely unusual for an NFL head coach. Golfers focus on a single obstacle, the course. A football coach worries about a million things, including what his assistants may or may not be plotting.

And Haley, true to his word, hires a offensive coordinator after only a single season of him calling the plays - a guy who most people consider to be a very good OC that would transition from Haley's offensive mindset seamlessly. Then they hire a guy who was directly involved in five winning Super Bowl teams (teams with excellent defenses) as defensive coordinator.

They didn't have a good draft, but it was a shortened transition year. They got a 2nd round pick for Tony, who was going to walk anyway (when all Carl could get was a 4th the previous year), they got a 5th (!!!!!!!!!!!) for Pickpen, and from what I hear, they actually began teaching these guys some football fundamentals.

And this is all in less than a year.

I don't think they ****ed up anything. In fact, this is the most positive I've been about the Chiefs in a long time.
Agreeeeeeeeeeeed.

They made a few mistakes, but NOBODY hits on every decision.

These Hires have put me firmly behind this regime, but this off-season personnel wise is going to weigh heavily on how I feel about them going forward.

Interesting. There's not a businessman alive that would agree with that.

Ideally, you'd want to get value, and get more production for a lower wage.

We're getting the exact opposite.
you're not answering the question.

Actually, I misread the graph. The original numbers were cap value.

Based on total salary, base plus bonuses, Cassel is the 4th highest paid QB in the league, behind Rivers, E. Manning and Warner.

Let's just say it won't be that way for very long. Salaries go up extremely fast.
i believe that Cassel's deal is pretty friendly to cutting him next year.

IIRC he's got a secondary bonus coming up next year or the year after. It's several million i think.

Did that contract hurt or prevent the Chiefs from signing any free agent that you think would have helped the team? No, it didn't.

Agreed, I am hoping for a good offseason... This is the best start this team has had in years... Finally a solid coaching staff.

Now if the players and draft are this good? Good times await!

Because the question is pointless.

Typically, the open market would determine a QB's worth.

Cassel never made it to the open market, yet Pioli signed him to a long term deal anyway.

A smart businessman would have:

1) Never traded for someone who's wage/earnings were so out of whack.

2) Extended the deal, locking the organization in for a minimum of two years, likely three in this instance. You know as well as I do that Pioli won't cut Cassel next year, regardless of how he performs.

Guys like Aaron Rodgers are $6M behind him.

Tony Romo is $11M behind him.

That's absurd.
Rodgers got a 6-year $65M extension in 2008.
Romo got a 6-year $67.5M extension in 2007.

Cassel's contract is 6-year $63M.

Yet, we signed nothing but scrubs.

I'm not making excuses. They came in with a short amount of time, no familiarity with the current personnel/players and no staff or scouting network setup. You think that that is the recipe for a kick ass draft? However, they got two starters out of it, one being Succop, who, besides being the guy that ends up scoring the most points on the team, finally gives us solidity at the kicker position - something we truly haven't had since Nick/Mort. And while Jackson didn't have a Pro Bowl level season, he sure as shit looked better than, say, Sims, Siavii, Freeman and a boatload of DL Carl picks that were absolute turds.

And they still doubled the wins of the previous regime. In one season.

And that's "****ing up?"
