Chiefs name Crennel HC

[CaliforniaChief]

I like the hire. I think the way he handled the QB situation over the past 3 weeks gives me hope that RAC sees the value of having a good QB and has the willingness to do what it takes to put that guy out there.

His determination to not go down the same road he went down in Cleveland tells me he's going to make the changes we need made. Both RAC and Scott Pioli know their jobs are on the line now.

This. I have to agree with this.

I agree. If you look back at the presser when Haley got canned, you can tell that Pioli had been in a come to Jesus meeting with Clark right before. Even Pioli's ego isn't big enough to get another GM's job if he bombs here.
Realistically, there is only 1 solid 1st round QB in the draft pool now, and that's Luck. RG3 hasn't declared. You can rant all you want about a 1st round QB, but if the talent isn't there, why reach for someone in the 1st? You can sign a FA, but what's out there? Not much. So now you've got to make a decision between Cassel and Orton. For all we know Pioli and Orton's agent are at Applebee's enjoying a 2 for $20 right now.

Romeo also knows this is his last HC job. Can't imagine he is going to let his career ride on Cassel's arm if he has any other option.
