Romeo Crennel to meet for Texans' DC gig
 

After scattering Gary Kubiak's assistants to the wind, new Texans coach Bill O'Brien has begun the process of building out his coaching staff in Houston.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that O'Brien will huddle with Romeo Crennel on Wednesday to discuss the defensive coordinator role left vacant by Wade Phillips. A source who's spoken with Crennel said it won't be his only coaching opportunity.

They never coached together in New England, but it was widely assumed the pair at least crossed paths as well-known understudies of Bill Belichick. Crennel still looms as an obvious fit in Houston after earning his keep with a 3-4 philosophy that would allow J.J. Watt and Brian Cushing to continue in the scheme they've excelled in since entering the league.

Even if Crennel takes the Texans gig, he's still on schedule to coach the East-West Shrine Game later this month against former Houston Oilers and Atlanta Falcons coach Jerry Glanville.

Sure sounds like that won't be Romeo's last gig.

Link?

Maybe they should get Cassel too and keep that Patriots vibe going.


:rolleyes:

I don't understand why teams keep hiring the same old Cheatriots frauds. Unless you plan on hiring away their cameramen too, it's never going to work.

Isn't RAC still being paid by the Cheufs?

How fun would it be to watch J.J. Watt play a "read and react" defense?

Watch RAC mostly drop him into coverage. :D

yea if he doesn't coach next year Clark still has to pay him like 3 million

I think ole Fat Scooter is still getting paid as well

It's already been posted Romeo as a DC here was pretty good.

There was plenty of frustration with Romeo...

Because he didn't run a scheme that blew a 38-10 lead.

i guess the texans are ready to

The Chiefs were usually on the wrong end on 38-10 games. I've never seen a team that got blown out more often the Chiefs under Pioli. :shake:
