Here is the latest on Crennel:

Weis also acknowledged that he offered the defensive line position, the remaining open position on the Irish staff, to former Cleveland Browns head coach Romeo Crennel, but the two mutually agreed that it was not the right time for Crennell to take the position.

"Most of you guys know that Romeo and I are close friends. When he got let go from the Browns, we started talking about the possibility of coming over here and working with me," Weis said. "Romeo and I set a timetable for this week, because next week he's going to have his hip replaced. . . . Before he went on a little vacation this week, we decided that he wasn't in a position at this time to make a commitment to do this, so we're going to move in another direction."
