Considering Pendergast was fired after Arizona went to the Super Bowl (how often does that happen?), how much Arizona's defense improved after Pendergast left, and how poorly KC's defense was this year, I can see why we would be looking for a new DC.
The question is how good is Romeo Crennel? The track record of all the former NE coordinators is too good right now. How many of these guys received credit for the success of HC Bill Bilicheck and Tom Brady?
No matter, I would rather have Romeo over Clancy. At least Romeo successfully coached a 3-4 defense. I wonder if this might help in Free Agency to sign a Vince Wilfork (assuming he doesn't re-sign with NE)?
