Romeo Crennel to be Texans' DC
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10...ve-coordinator
After meeting for the first time Wednesday, Romeo Crennel and Bill O'Brien discovered they were a good match. [+] EnlargeRomeo Crennel Kirby Lee/Image of Sport/USA TODAY Sports Romeo Crennel is expected to become the Texans' new defensive coordinator, according to league sources. Crennel is committed to coach the East-West Shrine college all-star game Jan. 18, but when that task is complete, he plans to accept an offer to become O'Brien's defensive coordinator with the Houston Texans, according to league sources. Crennel has been widely believed to be the favorite to become O'Brien's defensive coordinator because of their ties as former New England Patriots assistants. However, the two men had never worked together, and Wednesday's meeting was not only an interview but an introduction. When their interview was completed, O'Brien extended an offer for the job. However, Crennel asked for more time to fulfill his commitment as the head coach of the West college all-stars in the East-West Shrine game without distraction. Consequently, the Texans and Crennel had no comment. Any announcement on their pending partnership would occur after the East-West game, sources said. One day after Crennel met with O'Brien, the Texans hired former Patriots linebacker Mike Vrabel to be their linebackers coach. Vrabel played under Crennel but also was Ohio State's defensive line coach. O'Brien was impressed with what he saw from the Buckeyes unit when he served as the Penn State coach for two seasons in the Big Ten, sources said. |

Romeo is a lot like Charlie Weis. If you give him a coordinator job he can do it just fine. Head coaching jobs and the personnel aspects of things are too big for them.

I think you are. The 2010 defense was good with no nose tackle and 1 pass rusher. The 2011 defense was single handily winning games.

As long as he doesn't have to think too much and figure out stuff like why things didn't work, he should be okay.

Maybe he can steal away Tyson Jackson to be the cornerstone of his D line.

Do the Texans play Peyton Manning? If he knows one thing its beating Peyton Manning. He did with New England and he did with Cleveland. As a Patriots fan I would have loved it if he had come back to New England.

I'll bet he's smart enough to throw a blitz in every once in a while. And some stunts...
Even on his worst day, with AIDS, down with the flu, and shitting water in a depends, he's BETTER, actually MUCH BETTER, than Sutton.

He knows how to affect Manning, but he didn't beat Manning once while he was in Kansas City.

Manning has scored less than 20 points three times since 2010... and two of those games were against Crennel. Pretty amazing really. |
