Peter King, Adam Schefter on Weis, Crennel (WEEI)

[DaWolf]

King:

Explain the Charlie Weis-Romeo Crennel in Kansas City and the non-firing in Cleveland.

In Kansas City I think there was a lot of thought that this was a Scott Pioli hire. But when Pioli hired Todd Haley, look the coaching staff is yours, I want to know who you are hiring but you have to work with the guy everday, I don’t. You have to make a call with conviction, so you want a guy you can have him. So this was Todd Haley’s hire, and one of the reasons is when Charlie Weis was an assistant with the Jets, Bill Parcells told him one day, “Hey listen, I’m putting this kid in your office Todd Haley, Dick Haley’s son and he’s going to try to learn the ropes and maybe be a quality control guy, blah blah blah.” So for three years Todd Haley had a desk in Charlie Weis’ office at Hofstra. Bill Belichick I’m sure remembers this because he was there. That’s how Todd Haley broke into the NFL being taken up the wing of Charlie Weis. So when he had the opportunity to hire somebody who he knew that he could have arguments with, could fight with and have good fruitful discussions on how to work on offense, his first guy that he was interested in was Charlie Weis. Now, I was kind of surprised. I thought what was going to happen was that John Fox was going to leave Carolina and go somewhere and that John Fox would hire Charlie because John and Charlie have gotten to be fairly close. But, it didn’t happen because I believe John Fox is going to stay in Carolina, and I think this was (Weis’) best opportunity to take Matt Cassel and teach him the same way he taught Tom Brady.

Schefter:

Is it signed-sealed-and delivered with Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weis in Kansas City?

Weis will be signed-sealed-delivered, and Romeo, again as was told to me last week and as I said, he’s going to coach next year, and I think that Kansas City is the likely landing spot.

So it’s not a done deal yet?

Not a done deal. Not a done deal. I ultimately think that that’s where he will wind up, but it’s definitely not done. Who knows the Giants could swoop in and hire him as defensive coordinator or maybe some other team comes along. But, I’m told it will either be KC or the Giants. I think Romeo wants to be around his friends, and he has a lot of friends in Kansas City, and ultimately that would be my feeling as to where he ends up.

Do most people think the Crennel-Weis reunion is a good thing?

I think that they look at both coaches, and we know that Charlie Weis should help that offense. They need somebody to take hold of that offense, lead it forward, be involved in the play-calling, take charge of the play-calling, and help groom Matt Cassel in much the same way that Charlie Weis groomed Tom Brady. So, I don’t see how it could be a bad thing. Same thing with Romeo Crennel. I think they are looking for a little direction with their defense and Romeo Crennel would be the guy to provide it.

that's were the "educated" part of the guesswork

you look at the situation,history and needs etc and then you get some office worker someplace that can call you and tell you they saw so and so talking to such and such about youknowwho and blam .... "sources indicates that looks like KC is looking into Weis to become their new OC"

I think I could do that.

I got a boner when I read that.

I am a Chiefs fan. I root for the Kansas City Chiefs. Not the Patriots. I don't want to hear them mentioned when i read, listen to, or watch Chiefs related media.

That. This is my problem with the patroitrification. When we do win a superbowl those patriot bundle of stickss have some bragging rights.

I'm afraid that we HAVE our own identity and for quite some time it hasn't been anything to be proud of.
If we are mentioned in the same breath as the Pats I'm fine with that. I'd just like to see a winning team in KC again.

Ha ha, way too late for that. This is NE West. If the Chiefs reach the SB, the media will say it's because of the ex-Patriots and that will suck but I'll take a SB any day over what we have now.

It's good that you're behind your team that way, and support them. Very patriotic. :::running for his life:::

I'm not sure they want to be tied to the patriots either, after today's press conference. All the talk was about being together with the Jets and about Parcells. I don't recall either Belichick or the Patriots being mentioned a single time.

[Marcellus]

If KC wins a SB with these guys, KC won a SB not NE so I couldn't care less about the rest.

What are NE fans going to say? Wish we had those guys back?

Or start a website that charges for your opinion as insider info...

[RealSNR]

I find being that Peter King probably can't write in complete sentences or write in a manner of which the words make sense without run-ons or pauses, it makes reading through is article a giant bitch in summary such as places like such as the Iraq.
