Romeo Crennel As Defensive Coordinator - SP Fired Spagnuolo

[houstonwhodat]

Sean Payton ain't playing around.

He just got reinstated this week and today he fired DC Steve Spagnuolo and said they are moving to a 3-4.

Lots of Saints fans think they should hire Romeo.

What's your honest opinion of that?

Seemed like Romeo was lost as a HC but don't really know his history as a DC.

Please elaborate.

Take him in a heartbeat. Not a good HC, but great DC. I could see him fitting well with the Saints. Really well.

Make sure you don't have any "loose cannons" at LB

Yeah that's what fans there seem to think.

They also talk about Lovie Smith but I think Lovie runs a 4-3, not a 3-4.

[wazu]

He'd be a very solid hire if he actually wants the job.

[Deberg_1990]

He was a great DC in 2001

In 2013....not so much.

[Strongside]

He's a good Defensive mind. Just don't ever think about promoting him to HC. Ever.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Nice guy.

That's all.

[SAUTO]

No.

Rob Ryan went to St. Louis.

Fuck me you are right.

I got two texts in a row one about the saints and one about the rams lol

Yeah, Saints fans should be happy if they get the guy as a DC. He did a nice job in that role while he was here in KC, and I almost wish that he were never promoted in the first place so that he'd have stayed here in that role. It would be a hell of a lot better than what we ended up hiring.

[Hammock Parties]

A 2-gap with an attacking offense? Should work well!

[mdchiefsfan]

I think his system is outdated, but you could still do worse.

[-King-]

No.

Rob Ryan went to St. Louis.

Funny thing is...I'd take Romeo over him at DC any day.

[houstonwhodat]

Sean Payton's back so don't worry about that.

But the Saints need a DC now.

I can't imagine SP firing Spags without someone else in mind.

SP has been sitting back and watching the Saints D flounder all year and it probably made him furious.

If the Saints had an even mediocre defense this year they would have been in the playoffs.

How old is someone not to know RAC's history of a DC? Holy crap!
ProFootball Reference.com is good.

[RunKC]

He would be a great hire for the Saints.

He's been able to get under the skin of a lot of elite QB's and frustrate them, namely Peyton Manning.

He didn't have an offense worth a shit to help him here. Having Brees and the Saints offense backing him up would be perfect for RAC.

You could do A LOT worse than Romeo at DC.

[Titty Meat]

What? His defense was 11th without his best player 2 years ago.

Well, the Saints are going to see a lot of Roman Harper up in the box and being victimized by TEs.

[RealSNR]

That defensive line of the Saints is going to be completely unfamiliar to 2-gapping.

houstonwhodat, you guys should trade for Tyson Jackson. We'll take Jimmy Graham off your hands. With Jackson, the transition to Romeo's scheme will be eased quite a bit. Sound good?

[chiefzilla1501]

I wanted to hear you guys first hand experience.

Romeo's a real sound defensive mind. But what you're going to get is an overly conservative defense with very well coached players. He's not going to attack a whole ton. And by the way, it means you have to restructure your offensive line to bring in slow defensive ends and big OLBs.

No team should be transitioning into 2-gap right now. There's a reason why no team runs it. The only 2-gap guys left coordinating are Sutton and Bowles. And I'm 99% sure Sutton isn't running 2-gap.

Something has to be done about these "running quarterbacks" and the read option.

It's only going to get worse until someone cleans Englebert Humperdink's clock.

Someone from the Ravens should take care of that.

[Gravedigger]

When he focuses on his craft, he's a motivating coach that gets the best out of his players. If he's asked to do too much, like most coordinators, he gets overwhelmed. I'd take him as DC over Sutton imho.

[RealSNR]

True, but you'll need a guy who knows what he's doing in order to make Romeo work.

Okay okay okay. We'll throw in Matt Cassel to sweeten the pot. Brees needs a capable backup.

By the way, on Spagnuolo. Pretty shitty situation to be fired after what the Saints went through.

It's a shame the Chiefs have Gibbs. I'd take Spagnuolo as a LBs coach in a heartbeat.

[Coogs]

Drew Brees vs Gus Cassel.

Which city would Romeo rather be the DC for their local NFL team?

:hmmm:

[Rasputin]

The guy is a rock when it comes to emotion altho he did have a hell of a * terrible season * he stayed strong for himself and the team. I don't know how much his heart is in to return to coaching after a season like that.

Andy Reid not taking a year off so I wouldn't be surprised the same for Romeo. He is up in age and could just retire. The defense would play hard for him as players really take to him as a father figure.

[RealSNR]

No way they should have been that bad.

Regardless, he, like Fewell have made their names off of having excellent pass rushers.

I am not saying the Saints are wrong to fire him. But he's been a DC for only one year in a year where they were missing a head coach, where their team was under scandal all year, and they lost several defensive players to meaningful time due to suspension.

And he's still one hell of an experienced positions coach.

I'm not sure what's retarded about any of what I said.

You put Crennel's defense with a high-powered offense and he could do well.

His bend-don't break defense won't force the other team to make mistakes unless you have a lead.

Make no mistake. Saying you're sad we have Gibbs because you'd rather have Spagnulo when Gibbs has done a wonderful job here is fucking stupid.

Romeo's going to have a hell of a time in NO. That's not a talented defense and not one that's going to make a smooth transition to a 3-4.

Don't forget the miracle he pulled on our defense when he got here.

[chiefzilla1501]

I think it is both.

Could be. But he was also teaching zone to a defense used to attacking, and was missing his defensive captain, head coach, and LBs coach to help teach it. I'm not a huge fan of his scheme, but still fair to wonder if it was scheme, or if players were just lost or not fit for the scheme.

I think he'll still be a terrific positions coach.

How about the next year when his defense gave up basically 40+ to the Lions and Bills to open the season?

The guy's schemes are suspect in today's NFL. In an aggressive NFL, it's not a shock that bend don't break rarely works anymore.

[RealSNR]

What's interesting is that Payton is a Parcells disciple. So back to the OP... wouldn't surprise me if Romeo was very high on Payton's list.

From a personal standpoint, Spags philosophies and mine differ too much; I wouldn't want him in any capacity.

He could probably have some success and help players in a 4-3 zone based scheme at both the LB and DB position.

[DaWolf]

Romeo is bend but don't break. When everyone is doing their job properly, the defense can definitely slow opponents down and confuse them. But too often the D broke down because of missed assignments or whatnot. Also it didn't cause many turnovers or sacks, so it is what it is...

[bevischief]

But the Chiefs went to the playoffs in 2010...

[BossChief]

The only time Romeos defenses looked good in KC were when he called aggressive games.

If we had a DC with an attacking mentality the last couple years, Houston could have had 30 sacks by now...or more.

The fact that a guy with elite pass rush skills was dropped into coverage as much as he was is inexcusable.

Romeo is a good coach but this is a bad move for the Saints - not because Spags is any good, but arbitrarily moving to a 3-4 is a bad coaching decision by SP.

The Saints finally almost have the front 7 personnel they need for a 4-3, minus a DE & DT, and they are in range of getting a premier DE in the draft. DT isn't as bad as it has been and there are players coming up in free agency.

No matter what front the Saints run, they need 1, if not 2, safeties and unless Patrick Robinson makes huge strides, a starting corner ( even if he does, still need a nickle as JP hasn't done well ).

For a 3-4, Vilma and Loston just don't fit - they are sideline to sideline runners and not good at taking on blockers, so you need two new ILBers. Tez could play LOLB, but the fans that think Junior is any good simply don't know football; they guy just rushes up the field... over & over & over & over... easily flushed out of the play every time. In other words, he's a liability, despite what the dumbest fan base in the NFL think of him, so you need a ROLB, which luckily, you can get in this draft. Ellis or Bunkley could probably play RDE, but you may need a new guy there as well.

So to take a tally, you need 1+ safety, 1+ CB and either 2 DL or 3 LBers & maybe a DL. So 4 players in your 4-3 or 5-6 in a 3-4... not a hard choice. My guessis SP is over-reacting to failures to get a DT in free agency ( ie. it looks like they use PFF to sign people, bc they took Rodgers, Franklin, and Bunkley, and each one sucked - should teach them ), topped off with the failure that is Spags, plus envy in seeing other teams succeed, all adding up to a stupid, knee-jerk reaction.

Cool, maybe they'll take a stud pass rushing LB in the 3rd and drop him into coverage 75 percent of the time.

His defense will hover at around the 15-22 mark which, with their offense, is all they really need.

[B_Ambuehl]

The Saints would be better off rolling with Joe Vitt as DC. He knows the players and they respect him. Romeos scheme has been outdated for years now, it can't stop the run or the pass, he's terrible at making both in-game and weekly adjustments, and he doesn't adjust his scheme to fit his talent.

They could play 1 gap 3-4 with that team but the existing talent isn't in any way suited to play 2-gap.

Cool, maybe they'll take a stud pass rushing LB in the 3rd and drop him into coverage 75 percent of the time.

No.

Rob Ryan went to St. Louis.

This was rumored, but the Rams told him to please go. He's jobless.

May be going to the Saints.

He's being interviewed tomorrow.

[houstonwhodat]

It's on Magazine right? I think i've been there a few times. Don't go there too often though.

It's on the corner.

Kind of a dump but it's where Drew revealed his chant after the Super Bowl they won in 2010.

Pretty cool.

That is pretty cool. New Orleans definitely loves Drew.
They opened a Lucy's surfer bar where I live on the Northshore in Mandeville. It seemed like it was doing well but then it caught fire and they never came back. The place is called the beach house now.

He was a great DC in 2001

In 2013....not so much.

Beat me to it. He still has the same spiral notebook he did back then.

Those inbred Patriots are creepy as fuck

Funny seeing chiefs fans spitting the dick of Romeo out. Not to long ago he was the savior for beating green bay.

Per PFT...

Bill O’Brien clears out Texans staff, to hire Romeo Crennel

Well, Wade Phillips won’t get the chance to be the Texans defensive coordinator next year. And none of the guys he worked with are hanging around either.

According to Alex Marvez of FOX Sports, new Texans coach Bill O’Brien met with the existing Texans staff and fired them all, and will name Romeo Crennel as his defensive coordinator.

The 66-year-old Crennel was out of football this season after being fired by the Chiefs with two years left on his contract. That will allow the Texans to stay with the 3-4 defense they’re already running.

The clean house sets the stage for the Texans staff to have a very Bostonian vibe, as O’Brien will tap into his base of former Patriots co-workers for help.

Complete joke.

Never go full Herm

[Deberg_1990]

He's adequate at DC I guess. The Texans have some scent pieces to work with. Not sure if his 3-4 is as aggressive as Wade Phillips was?

Human nature says...boom

Never go full Herm

This place loves them some Herm that's for sure.

RIP JJ Watt.

Slap me once shame on you. Anally rape me repeatedly shame on me.

[Titty Meat]

The hate for him is illogical. Its already been posted his defenses were 11th and 12th ranked.

[MahiMike]

Sorry for your losses Tampa

It's not him, it's the 2 gap read and react system.

Richard Seymore didn't do too bad in that spot.

[Dunerdr]

Well maybe they can trade those pass rushing studs for picks.

[JakeLV]

Wade has had them playing at a Superbowl level. They just never got the support on the other side.

I doubt he stays unemployed long

[RealSNR]

We should round up all the Patriot tards, send them to an island, and then nuke it until it glows.

[Eleazar]

Romeo is probably fine as a defensive coordinator.

Spagnuolo looked like one of those guys who was on the way up, what a train wreck.

[Bewbies]

Richard Seymore didn't do too bad in that spot.

He was no JJ Watt.

[houstonwhodat]

They need to fire that piece of shit GM too.

[Simply Red]

glad he'll probably find work again - love that black man.
