If you mean inaccurate and overtly biased, yes everything turned out to be true.

I can see where you're coming from regarding bias, as it does appear that ESPN is circling the wagons around Craig James. I saw the report last night where they showed several Leach statements and immediately followed them with rebuttals by the trainer and the team physician.

However, I'm not aware of anything they reported that was inaccurate. According to the trainer, Leach did instruct him to LOCK Adam James in a dark room and to make him as uncomfortable as possible.

I think Leach is a helluva football coach who didn't have enough sense to know when to pick his battles.

That and conveniently ignoring the fact that the trainers said that putting him in the shed was not detrimental to his condition. You know, the reason TTU used to fire him.

Leach was dealing with a spoiled bitch of a kid.

I would have him coach my team any day.

Krumrie is getting jobbed

Right after that ESPN reported that water is wet. I know shocking. Seriously, that is the only rational explanation for the pendergast hiring. Just an one year stopgap so crennel could get healthy.

[Royal Fanatic]

Especially since last year they hired Pendergast but waited a couple of weeks before announcing that he was the defensive coordinator. It stands to reason that they were negotiating with Crennel during those two weeks.

[RedThat]

Okay this would be a good start for the Chiefs.

Hire a competent defensive co-ordinator, thats a baby step. But thats okay its what this team needs, baby steps.

[bevischief]

A start.

[DumbHillbillies]

No doubt, I wonder if pioli consulted crennel on the t jackson pick ?

[HotRoute]

wouldnt be going nuts with excitement, but i dont think he could do much worse than clancy has done this year. If anyone needs fired its him

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)?

Their track record as head coaches isn't good. That doesn't mean they still can't be good assistant coaches.

I wonder if we could get our hands on Wimbley. Surely he wants out...
