Anybody>>>>>>>>Clancy Pendergast.
Anyone.
He has to be replaced. He's been awful all season. Haley has to be relieved of his OC duties. He's been awful at times. Do I think Clark Hunt and Pioli are trying to pull the ol' bait and switch on us by bringing in a new OC and DC? No. I think they have to because the coordinating on both sides of the ball was so ****ing sickening all season long that it's a necessity. And I think Weis and Crennel are close to our GM so they're the easy, logical hires. Not because they're big names and they'll get our fan-base all riled up and ready for a 9-7 season. Todd Haley has to distance himself from Clancy and the OC position if he has any hope of keeping his job after next season; and he knows that.
And yes billay, we're not a very good team when it comes to the draft but I don't think it's stupid to bring in obvious needs at OC and DC. This isn't some sort of conspiracy theory to distract the simple-minded fan base. Good coordinators are essential parts of quality teams. Maybe they'll be good for us. So yeah, I don't mind mixing up the coordinators even though our personnel is lacking. Hopefully we'll become a better team concerning the draft.
Are Weis and Crennel sure-fire answers? I don't know. But what else should Hunt and Pioli do? Not hire anyone and just hope our personnel meshes better and Haley becomes a great signal-caller and Pendergast magically becomes a defensive genius? Is that the answer?
I'd love to see the Chiefs draft better personnel, but I'm not gonna get pissed over coaching additions to a terrible coaching staff. If we had fired Haley; or demoted him to OC and brought in Bill Cowher, that's a total 'win now, put asses in seats' move. We didn't do that. We're bringing in guys that are familiar to the GM and the HC. And yeah, I expect them to be better than the guys they're replacing. I think Weis will be a more imaginative OC if the personnel doesn't change one bit and Crennel would put together a better 3-4 with the exact same personnel. And that's better than remaining stagnant in those areas.
