Looney: Crennel wants to be Chiefs next head coach
Crennel wants to be Chiefs next head coach
By Josh Looney Romeo Crennel expressed his desire to coach the Kansas City Chiefs in 2012 and beyond Romeo Crennel is officially the first public candidate to be the next head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. General Manager Scott Pioli stated yesterday that Crennel will receive consideration to continue as Chiefs head coach following the final three games of the 2011 season and Crennel officially threw his name into the mix Tuesday morning. In a conference call with the Kansas City media, Crennel shared his desire to be the Chiefs next head football coach. “I’d like to be a head coach again and show that I can get it done,” Crennel said. Crennel previously served as head coach in Cleveland from 2005-08 and compiled a 24-40 overall record. In 2007 he led the Browns to a 10-6 record, which was Cleveland’s best season since finishing 11-5 in 1994. “We won 10 games in Cleveland one year and had a chance to make the playoffs, but ultimately didn’t make it,” Crennel said. “The following year things kind of fell apart and they made a change, so I would like to be a head coach again to show that I can do it. “I don’t think I would have taken this job to finish out the season as head coach if I didn’t want to be a head coach again.” Crennel’s leadership will be on display for at least the next three weeks. He shed some light on how he plans to approach things going forward… Crennel’s Contract: If Crennel isn’t hired as Kansas City’s next head coach, he still has one year left on his contract as defensive coordinator. Crennel didn’t rule out a returning as defensive coordinator in 2012, but made it clear that the next head coach should have the power to choose his own assistants. “If I’m not the head coach, what I’d have to do is sit down and talk with the guy who is the head coach and decide if he wants me,” Crennel said. “I think that’s what the organization has to do. If they bring in someone else, they have to let that individual hire his own coaches to give him the best chance to be successful.” Starting Quarterback: We have our first mystery of the Crennel era. Crennel says he’s yet to decide on a starting quarterback for Sunday’s game against Green Bay, leaving the door open for rookie Ricky Stanzi to make his first-career start. If healthy, Kyle Orton will also be under consideration and Tyler Palko will get a chance throughout practice as well. “I’m going to look at everything that’s available and every option that I have, and then I’m going to make a decision about who it’s going to be,” Crennel said. “Green Bay doesn’t know much about me or what my choice might be offensively, so I’m not going to give them an advantage right now at the moment. “I’ll take the next couple of days and then make a decision on whom that guys is going to be. Then we’ll go forward with that guy.” Green Bay has already seen both Palko and Orton this season. Orton completed 22-of-32 passes for 273 yards with three TDs and three INTs in Denver’s 49-23 loss to the Packers at Lambeau Field on October 2nd. Palko completed 18-of-29 passes for 163 yards with a TD and two INTs against Green Bay’s reserves in the Chiefs preseason finale. Stanzi did not play in that game. Offensive/Defensive Schemes: Crennel will continue to call the defensive plays while Bill Muir and Jim Zorn will work together on developing an offensive game plan. “I think the best way for us to have a chance to be the most successful at this moment is to not create too many distractions,” Crennel said. “Me being named the head coach is a distraction. So, I don’t want to have a distraction on offense, a distraction on defense and a distraction on the whole team.” Crennel went on to say that he’d take a different approach going forward if permanently named the head coach, but wanted to keep as much consistency as he could over the final three games of the season.” |

It's nice that someone WANTS to be our head coach and it would provide some continuity on the defensive side of the ball.
I'm just afraid it would provide continuity on the offensive side of the ball too. ![]()

This team hasn't really had an offense since Trent Green went down.

Would you let Romeo coach if he dumped Cassel?

If they stick with Cassel we'll have a total house cleaning after two more years. Then we get to see if Clark can hire a GM. ![]()

What's scary about that? No need to go try to install some new offense with three games left in the season, and Romeo has been calling the defensive plays all season. I'm fairly confident Bill Muir will not be calling plays next season, regardless of the head coach decision.

Haley was the one who determined that he couldn't work with Gailey and canned him. Haley always talks about his closeness with Mo Carthon. Haley is the one who didn't like the job his first WR coach was doing, so he demoted him midseason and replaced him with Ritchie Anderson. Haley is the one who brought in Mike Clark to run the weight program. I think Haley had a lot of latitude in terms of who he wanted to keep and who he didn't.
Of course Haley also doesn't strike me as a guy who has a huge connection of friends in the coaching business outside of the Parcells tree, so it's debatable how many coaches actually wanted to work for him. That to me was my biggest issue with Haley... |
