From what I can gather, Crennel will be 1st head coach in #Chiefs history to also serve as the team's defensive coordinator

Romeo wouldn't have ran the same defense if they had a different Qb.

He's an ok DC yet he almost had a top 10 defense with its best player missing and with the offense going 3 and out damn near every single drive.

Ok.

Look at the possible candidates out there and then see how that affects your feeling about this move.

I think we're ****ed but I expected as much.

To bad they burned a couple OCs lately, hopefully the reputation is all on Haley.

This sounds like a train wreck

**bevischief** · 01-12-2012, 12:39 PM

How many other HC are also the DC?

BoneKrusher · 01-12-2012, 12:40 PM

Just get a Really Good Offensive Coordinator and i'm OK with it.

Just shut up already. Finishing 11th on the year without Eric Berry, and with the offense sucking to high heaven, is a remarkable accomplishment.

In some ways it is good, in other ways they played a lot of teams with bad QBs - Denver twice, a Raiders team that put an unprepared QB in the first game, Painter, Hainie, McNabb and a struggling Rivers early in the year.

All I'm saying is Romeo is a good DC. If you can't see that you are blind.

After suffering through all those years of Gunther and a little Greg Robinson thrown in, I don't understand anyone that doesn't love what has happened with this defense.

Romeo Crennel Will Still Be Involved With The Chiefs Defense

One of the reasons I thought Romeo Crennel made sense as the new Kansas City Chiefs head coach is because of his past experience with the defense. KC's defense ranked 12th in the NFL this year and in the final three games of the season -- the Romeo Crennel era -- they gave up 14, 16 and 3 points. The only real progress we saw in 2011 came from the defense (although that was admittedly shaky at times).

I wanted to keep that defensive momentum going and it sounds like Crennel will still have a heavy hand in the defense moving forward.

While he hasn't yet officially named a defensive coordinator (whether that's himself or someone else) Crennel does plan on calling the defensive plays in 2012. This according to a recent interview with Adam Schein and Rich Gannon on Sirius XM NFL Radio.

Crennel handled both those duties well in the final three games so on a small sample size we know he can be successful as both the head coach and the defensive coordinator. Obviously, someone on the staff will have to step up to replace some of the duties Crennel did as the defensive coordinator but in the big picture he'll still be involved.

The next step is determining whether Crennel names himself the defensive coordinator or if someone else is brought in from the outside or elevated from within. The news that Crennel plans on calling the defensive plays makes me think the team is more likely to hire from within.

And you know what, we did what we needed to do against those guys. I still remember all the times in the past under Gunther or under Greg Robinson where we'd make some average QB's look like all-pros.

We also were the only team to slow down Aaron Rodgers.

Now if we could only field an offense who doesn't have as many three and outs as we did...

Yeah, and we did what you're supposed to do to bad QBs.

We shut the Raiders out, we held the Broncos to 3, we eviscerated Hanie, etc.

We also stomped the shit out of Roethlisberger and Rodgers.

The reason they put up those rushing numbers is because of the type of offense they run with that particular QB. They're not putting up 220 on the ground with a pro-set offense with Orton behind center, but they also wouldn't be throwing for only 60 yards...

Romeo can do the job of HC and DC, but he'll need to all but completely abrogate his responsibilities on offense to do them well. As such, he needs an extremely strong offensive mind in place and a premier administrator as well to essentially run the entire offense over the course of the week.

If you're going to raise the degree of difficulty by having one guy cover 2 roles - you'd better have premier coaching talent across the board to cover for it. Jim Zorn as a QB coach qualifies - Jim Zorn as an OC does not.

Oh who the **** am I kidding, of course it's going to be Jim Zorn.

I hate this team.

Exactly.

They NEED a strong OC but they won't get one.

WEE R ****ED.
