No, it's a pretty clear statement.

You can't treat football like it's alchemy. It's been proven over and over again.

crennel was not the DC on the gmen teams. he was a position coach.

This. There are no longer any original ideas in this league. Its all copycat. It worked before, lets try it again. It may fail. It may work to perfection. Who knows? I'm glad Haley's head isn't to big to the point he wouldn't hire an OC. These guys have been successful as coordinators in the past. I really hope with the CW hire, Haley can concentrate on his job and cut back on his stupid in-game decisions.

it sure won't hurt

it will also help the Haley ranting crap that won't be appealing to FA's

now there is a well known buffer between haley and the players

Wow. What a day if this is true. Which it probably is because it's coming from Shefter. I'm excited!

Spoken like a true Chiefs fan.

"Let's try the WCO"
"Let's try Air Coryell"
"Let's try the Tampa 2"
"Let try the 3-4".

Jeezus. We need a ****in' blue balls smilie.

There is none. Doesn't mean you can't try. Their recipe for success worked. A lot of luck involved in NE though. As I've said before, I really wish the Chiefs could find their own way instead of copying everyone else.

Those are two huge upgrades, and the subtraction of Krumrie makes this a pretty exciting time. Add that to the fact that in the last year this team got rid of Herm and Gunther, things are really looking up.

You hire the best guys for the job. Period.

What you're suggesting is that they shouldn't hire a guy, regardless of how successful he's been at his job, because they've worked with him before, because they have a track record. Which is your perogative. But, again, I say you hire the best guy for the job. They've apparently decided that's Crennel. Decided that a year ago, probably.

If your only criteria for hiring a guy is "he can't have worked with NE, or Arizona, or Parcells, or whoever", then I fail to see how that's realistically any different than hiring a guy because he has. You're not looking at his merit as an individual candidate.

What's the definition of insanity again?

LMAO The entire league does this. The NFL IS a copycat league.

Because the guys that you've worked with in the past are axiomatically the best guy for the job in every case, and NFL history clearly points this out, based on how well the good ole boy network works when relocated without the exact same talent in place.

See Schottenheimer, Marty.

Exactly, if it works, do it.
