SI: Grading the NFL coaching hires
SI has really gone down hill - lookit this tripe!

Ranked from best to worst:

1. Romeo Crennel, Chiefs: Yes, I’m well aware that Crennel finished 16 games under .500 (24-40) during four years in Cleveland. I am also aware that he didn’t exactly have a stacked deck to work with there — in his tenure, Trent Dilfer, Charlie Frye, Derek Anderson, Brady Quinn and Bruce Gradkowski all started at quarterback. Crennel’s brief stint as Kansas City’s interim head coach was impressive, with wins over then-undefeated Green Bay and at Denver in Week 17. Those performances alone aren’t enough to guarantee Crennel has success going forward, but the reason this is a great hire is that it goes the exact opposite direction of Todd Haley. Between his unusual sideline personality and clashes with GM Scott Pioli, Haley walked the tightrope his entire tenure. Crennel has full support in the Chiefs’ locker room, experience as a head coach and a smart defensive-minded approach. His second go-round leading a team should be better than his first. GRADE: A-

6. Dennis Allen, Raiders: Either this will be a savvy and successful move or a colossal setback — it’s hard to see any room in between. Allen is the first coach with a defensive background hired to be Oakland’s head man since John Madden. He comes from Denver, one of the Raiders’ biggest rivals, and at 39, will be the NFL’s youngest head coach. But aside from one year as coordinator of Denver’s defense, where are the head coaching credentials on this resume? Three years as the Saints’ secondary coach? Four years as a defensive assistant in Atlanta? The ceiling might be high on this move, but the floor is pretty low. GRADE: C-

This is about as valuable as grading NFL draft picks before they even touch the field.

No, you're number 4. It went Denver, San Diego, Oakland, Kansas City. You play the last place schedule.

2-1 both wins over playoff teams is the only reason to be optimistic about Romeo.

With Kyle Orton. Once you remember that Matt Cassel is starting, you can flush that optimism down the freaking toilet.

What the Raiders fan has said is true, our customs are different. What Al Davis has said is unimportant, and we do not hear his words.

Either way, he didn't do well. The obvious thing to point out here is...ya know...Belichick has Tom Brady and Crennel has Matt Cassel. Even though Bill got kinda lucky with Tom Brady imo. Maybe Crennel will get his big lucky break. (I'm lookin at you Ricky Stanzi).

Worst thing about the hire, IMO, is his age. Chiefs aren't going to win anything meaningful in the next two years and Crennel will be retiring (or dying) right about then. Hiring Crennel is a win now move for a team that can't win now because they have no QB. There is no long-term planning in this move. We're probably looking at two more years of dicking around before we fire everybody and finally (hopefully) draft a real QB.
