Jack Del Rio will reportedly interview for the Chiefs' head-coaching vacancy

[tk13]

The odd thing about this is when Dimitroff took over in Atlanta, he hired Mike Smith, who was Del Rio's DC. Wonder if that connection had anything to do with this interview.

Random to see Michael Coleman break a Chiefs story citing sources in Jacksonville. No track record of breaking Chiefs news here in KC.

Crennel was a DC in New England, then a HC in Cleveland, then took a step back to DC in KC, and was promoted to interim coach with decent success and apparently is well-liked by the players. If, after four days of offseason, the team is already bringing in castoffs to interview, you can bet Crennel would tell them to go **** themselves with a rusty pipe if they hire a Del Rio or Fisher and tell Romeo, "Well, you can still be defensive coordinator..."

I'd imagine he would and rightly so. In two years Romeo built that D into something respectable. That D has been shit since Gunther took over as HC.

That man has 5 Superbowl rings and coached on some of the best defenses in the NFL.

He's brought out the talent in guys like Hali, DJ, Carr and Flowers. It wasn't Haley. They sure as **** weren't playing like that for Pendergast.

He's united a team, they're all chanting his name.

He's won that team over in the midst of chaos and had them playing for a playoff spot.

And you wanna replace him with JACK ****ING DEL RIO????????

If I were Romeo, hell yeah i'd be pissed. I'd ****ing burn that place down if you chose JACK ****ING DEL RIO over me.

Exactly. This seems like due diligence to me and nothing more. Romeo is going to be our next coach. I say give Zorn a shot at OC and let's roll.

I think this is a completely different circumstance. I get that Romeo says he wants to coach. He's also 64, literally burnt out from his first stint, and probably doesn't want to spend the last few years of his coaching career re-arranging the defense. The only team he might consider is Miami.

THIS TO THE MUTHA****IN MAX

I wouldn't mind Crennel, but I think it'd be a 1 maybe 2 year thing. A stop-gap coach until they find the REAL next head coach.

[jspchief]

On a positive note, Del Rio likes to cut his starting QB a week before the season starts.

Maybe Cassel will go the way of Leftwich and Garrard.

[Spott]

Del Rio is the white Herm.

[BigMeatballDave]

Do not want

[The Franchise]

I'd take him as a DC

[lcarus]

Can he still play middle linebacker?

Jacksonville always ran a 4-3, right?

That's what I thought. But I think ChiefsandO's dude proved me wrong.
