Chiefs Crennel pondering offer to become Chiefs D.C. - Page 14

Just Passin' By · 02-28-2009, 11:12 PM

I didn't see this posted anywhere, so I thought I'd pass it on:

Quote:

Waiting on Romeo: Former Browns coach Romeo Crennel is convalescing from successful hip replacement surgery and weighing an offer to become the defensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs are holding the position open for Crennel, who is waiting to learn exactly how long his rehabilitation process will keep him out. The Chiefs may have enticed Crennel a little bit more by trading for New England linebacker Mike Vrabel.

Whether or not Crennel accepts, he has decided not to remain with the Browns in an unspecified role offered by Mangini.

Crennel previously declined an offer to rejoin Charlie Weis as Notre Dame's defensive coordinator. Crennel and Weis were Belichick's coordinators during New England's three Super Bowl championship seasons.

Gary Gibbs - Linebackers (ex DC, helped Dallas transition to a 3-4)
Clancy Pendergast - ???? (ex DC)
Joel Collier - secondary (17 yrs in league, 6 yrs with pats)
Tim Krumrie - Defensive line (14 yrs at slapping people around)

Good question, it's kind of a logjam at LB coach with Pendergast and Gibbs if Crennell accepts. Pendergast has coached secondary too. Maybe one of them will be an assistant dc/something else

And do we have a ST coach or is it possibly one of these guys?

Special Teams - Steve Hoffman

Maybe Pendergast will be Defense Quality control assistant

I wouldn't be surprised to see one of them become co-DC and help out Crennel if he's still going through rehab and needs to spend his time on gamedays in the booth, the other could be on the sidelines.

I think the Lambs won a Super Bowl with co-DC's...

Wasn't that Lovie Smith's claim to fame? Who was his co-DC?

It was before Lovie Smith.

I don't remember who it was, but Bud Carson was the Co-DC

Was it Rivera?

DV's original DC in STL was Bud Carson. He retired and Vermeil named Peter Guinta and John Bunting Co DC's for the 99 season.

Lovie was DC under Martz. Ron Rivera never coached in STL.

Ah thanks for clarifying...

Further research shows that Carson was the DC, who was replaced after his retirement by John Bunting and Peter Guinta as Co-DCs.
