Good thinking, Mr. Ralphy Boy. When Pioli was hired, I inquired as to who would be the best available DC this off-season. The overwhelming response was Romeo. I don't know if he'll still be the most favored choice, but he would probably do a good job.
But, the main point is this; How "loyal" will the Pioli regime be to its coaches? We know Pioli harbors very little loyalty to players. That much is clear ... proven both here and during his tenure with NE. However, coaches are a different matter. For example, although they did relieve Gailey of his OC duties, they retained him at the same time.
One of the big, big, big problems the Chiefs have had for decades is unqualified super-loyalty. Lamar demonstrated super-loyalty with Carl and Carl did the same (in most cases) with his coaches. Both DV and Herm were also super-loyal to their staffs - almost always to our detriment, by the way.
If they give Clancy the boot after this year and bring in a top-rated DC and/or OC, I'll be ecstatic and those kinds of moves should provide all of us with reason to hope.
