Pioli put himself in a very, very bad situation. His interim coach just beat the undefeated SB champs.

If he wins 1 - or God forbid, BOTH - of the last 2, it doesn't matter who Pioli wants as HC. If he doesn't keep Crennel, there's going to be acrimony amongst both the players AND the fans.

This all falls on Pioli, from the day he hired Haley in the first place.

Very solid points!!

The Haley hire was a mistake, done very late in the game, so to speak. If he really turned out to hate him, but then couldn't fire him cause of our mirage of an AFC West Title season, then yet again he's put himself in a no-win situation, dicatated FOR him. I think at this point, he's gotta be prayin Romeo get this team to perform as well these last 2 weeks to justify hiring him, or an epic fail to justify not. Anything in between, and he may be writing his own farewell legacy.

I think there's at least some validity to the idea that Crennel was brought here in case this type of scenario were to occur. In other words, he was going to be the HC at some point, regardless.

It's a horrible situation to be in. All the more reason to not make hasty changes in the middle of a lost season. Now you might be stuck with a guy that's not your first choice.

I would probably agree with Herm here. The reason I say this is because if you look how Romeo was talking about the QB change to Orton and how if Orton continues to play good it could be permanent. He is talking like he will be the one making the call next year. If it isn't the case it seems like he is acting very much like it will be.

Lets see if Romeo can keep them focused after a big win. One of Haley's biggest problems was lack of consistency.

I can't say how much I would love it if the West came down to the final game against Denver.

This. Getting the players fired up for the defending SB champs, a new coach and QB is one thing. Keeping them playing at a high level through a couple weeks of Division opponents is another. If Crennel can keep them playing at the same level for the next two weeks, paint his name on the HC parking spot.

This. This exactly.

That's what I'm saying. This is a three week audition. Once the season is over, you take a look at how the team performed with Romeo, and you go from there. I'm not saying crown him now, but two more weeks like this and I'd say hell yeah.

If he gets hired....then he better bring in a capable OC and a young DC to learn from him. And I don't ****ing mean Josh McDaniels either.

This. Very much this.

Although you forgot to mention QB, but i think that's a given.

Sweet Chocolate Jesus, this! One hundred times this.

**The Franchise** · 12-19-2011, 10:35 AM

And I'm not lobbying for Crennel to get the job either. I'd rather have someone from outside the tree. But after this week....it's almost a foregone conclusion that RAC gets the job. There are a few things (which I've stated above) that will need to happen.

1. Hire a capable OC (not McDaniels)
2. Hire a young up and coming DC.
3. Draft a QB in the 1st round next year.
4. Cut Matt Cassel.
5. Re-sign Orton. (optional)

In Romeo's first conference, he says that a new HC has to be able to hire his own coaches.

If RAC gets the job and Pioli forces McDainles on him, we have a problem.

KEEP ROMEO

I don't understand connecting McDaniels as the OC
to me he is Todd Haley
