The fact that the Chiefs already have fired coach Romeo Crennel but not G.M. Scott ***** doesn’t mean that ***** is safe.

Per a league source, ***** has yet to hear from owner Clark Hunt regarding *****’s future.

It could be that Hunt decided to fire Crennel first and not ***** in order to gauge the local reaction to the possibility of ***** returning. Either way, Hunt has not told ***** whether ***** will return for a fifth season on the job.

The Chiefs won the AFC West in 2010, *****’s second season on the job. But 2011 was marred by dysfunction, with ***** and the first coach he hired, Todd Haley, squabbling until Haley was fired. This year, the Chiefs finished a dismal 2-14 in Romeo Crennel’s first full season as head coach.

The fact that the Chiefs have five Pro Bowlers helps *****’s case. The 0-for-2 effort when it comes to hiring coaches doesn’t.

Peter King reported during Football Night in America that, if ***** stays, Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz will not be the next head coach. Though several reporters were speculating that Ferentz finally would be lured back to the NFL to work with his good friend *****, Ferentz’s recent track record makes him a hard sell at the next level.
