Chiefs Pendergast? New DC?

PHOENIX -- Clancy Pendergast won't return as defensive coordinator of the Arizona Cardinals, the team announced Saturday.

Who will replace Pendergast?

As far as a possible replacement for Clancy Pendergast, Steve Wyche says Ken Whisenhunt may go after someone he wanted upon taking the job with Arizona in 2007. More ... The decision comes less than a week after a last-minute loss to the Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII.

"Like every decision, it comes down to what's best for the team and what gives us the best chance to win," coach Ken Whisenhunt said in a statement released by the team.

Pendergast's departure leaves the team without both coordinators. Offensive coordinator Todd Haley was named head coach of the Chiefs on Friday.

Pendergast was hired by Dennis Green in 2004 and stayed on when Whisenhunt took over in 2007.

"He was one of the guys retained from the previous staff and has done a good job," Whisenhunt said. "But as part of the evaluation process that's done after every season, I took a look at the last two years as a whole and felt this move was necessary to help us continue the progress we've made."

The 41-year-old Pendergast has been a coach in the NFL since 1995, with the then-Houston Oilers, Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns.

"From a timing standpoint, we wanted to be fair to Clancy and give him a chance to seek the best possible opportunity in which to continue his career," Whisenhunt said. "In terms of filling the position, we have some people in mind both internally and externally and will begin that process immediately."

The Cardinals ranked 19th in the NFL in overall defense during the regular season, giving up 331.5 yards per game. They were 22nd in pass defense and 16th against the run.

The defense struggled in blowout losses to Philadelphia, Minnesota and New England late in the regular season, but stepped up in the playoffs, shutting down the powerful running games of Atlanta, Carolina and Philadelphia in the run to the Super Bowl.

Against the Steelers, the defense played well until the last-minute drive that ended with the touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger to Santonio Holmes with 35 seconds to play that gave Pittsburgh a 27-23 victory.

Pendergast graduated from the University of Arizona in 1990, then was a graduate assistant for Mississippi State before working on the staffs at USC, Oklahoma and Alabama-Birmingham.

Link to the story.

He's free and clear now. Think Haley may want to bring him in?

What is it with you Repost police?
Are you trying to meet your Internet citation quota for the month?

That thread is probably somewhere on Page 4 by now.
It was originally posted three days ago.

I didn't see the topic posted on Page 1 or Page 2 of this forum so I thought I'd throw something up to strike up a conversation. Sue me.

Good gracious... Run along officer.

Yeah honestly I don't get that.

Threads go to different pages so people don't see them or they have might have 50 pages on there where a football related subject has been hijacked to who cleaned up at the Grammys last night.

If we can't really "repost" on topics that have been covered before, I guess we should just have only one thread on what the Chiefs should do with that # 3 overall pick come April.

Well, honestly, I posted mainly because I've been wanting to use that image.

But in this case, I'll respond by asking how difficult is it simply to a site search for "Pendergast"? It's a one-word search term that would have pulled up pretty much a thread you were looking for.

What's with the repost police? What's with the laziness in taking 5 seconds to look and see if you were cluttering up the place with shit that's already been talked about, three days ago?

For what purpose?
To appease you anal retentive pricks who need a reason to bang on another poster? I'll pass...

Pendergast's name would probably have come up more than a dozen times.

It ain't that serious Chief.

I looked on both the first and second pages of the forum to see if the topic had previously been posted. That's much more than I would normally do.

Get over yourself.

Your career in thread law enforcement is going smashingly well.
Maybe you'll make thread detective with a few more repost busts.
Then you can start using state-of-the-art forensic tools like "Advanced Search".

CSI: ChiefsPlanet has a nice ring to it.

It'd be both easier and more comprehensive to try looking for a search term. In this case, it shows up as the third thread.

And I wasn't making a big deal out of it. As I said, I posted the pic because I saw it a while ago and wanted a reason to use it. This fit the bill since it a) was a repost; and b) hadn't been called a repost by anyone else.

Get over myself? It's a freakin' repost. I called it. Get over the butthurt. Like us "repost police" make a difference in the success/failure of a thread.
