IMO after thinking about it for some time, I believe Romeo needs to stay as HC in 2012.
The players obviously like him, A LOT. They believe in him. He knows how to motivate them, and he has them believing in themselves.
If Romeo doesn't keep the HC job, the players will be distraught. Romeo will be frustrated (as he has stated, he wants to be a HC again).
The new HC might not want to keep Romeo around. And the LAST thing we need to happen, is to have Romeo leave the Chiefs. We finally have a pretty damn good defense (without a pro bowl safety btw).
If Romeo leaves, the key players of our foundation will not be happy. The defensive players are in love with him.
But at the end, my main point is that we can't afford to lose Crennel.
We can get away with keeping Crennel as HC, as long as we hire a real OC, and let him pick his own staff. He would likely either promote a guy currently on staff to be the new DC, or he could find his own guy who believes in the same philosophy. But I would actually be ok with Crennel continuing to run the defense on gameday as long as we fix the OC...And of course we need a QB.
