Out of 16 coaches, only four came with Whisenthunt from Pittsburgh and none were exactly crucial. The Chiefs will have nearly that number on staff (Weis, Crennel, Ward, and Carthon), all in coordinator or above positions (Asst. Head Coach for Carthon).

The Chiefs have six players from New England (seven if you count Justin Rogers on IR) and the Cards have six former Steelers.

It's closer to 25 if you look at ones with ties to the tree.

Pats alone:

Cassel
O'Callaghan
Guitierrez
Mays
Vrabel
Copper
Rodgers
Daniels
Herron
Richardson

10 Pats, not 7.
