This cat is pathetic. He’s a defensive coordinator. Not a head coach. Why hire someone that’s a proven loser?!?!?!?

Too bad he didn’t fire himself as head coach and just become the defensive coordinator again. He was actually good at that job.

So a past defensive coordinator can run the defense anymore? Interesting.

The sad thing is there’s really not any notable QB’s coming out the draft next year. This team will be doomed for at least another 5-7 years.

My lowly Chiefs just don’t make any sense anymore. Pioli and Crennel are lost. We have no depth at cornerback and they cut our #2 and now Arenas fills that spot? He’s horrible! The attention needs to be on the quarterback position…..

can’t wait to splack them with a 40 berger. cassell is gonna get rocked and polio can fire him after the mnf massacre @ the mustard bowl. this will only be the 2nd time in the last 11 meetings not @ arrowhead + plus the haley factor which I’m not putting to much into because the chiefs just are not good, pun intended.

As a Denver Broncos fan, should I be shaking in my boots?

Good thing they drafted Dontari Poe in the first round. Dude isn’t even dressing. They need to fire the Director of operations.

Did anybody really think that he would do any better after his stellar performance in Cleveland?

“Crennel made the announcement on Monday that linebackers coach Gary Gibbs will be the defensive coordinator for the rest of the season.”

Gibbs was the defensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints from 2006 through 2008 and we all remember those great Saints defenses don’t we? Anyone?? Anyone at all?? (crickets)

Crennel the problem? Can you name 2 players on the Chiefs defense?

why give up something that he is good at? romeo seems like a nice guy, no head coaching material tho, the kansas city Griefs shouldve knowned this from his Browns days

Feel bad for Crennel since he seems to be a good guy but they got this move backwards. Should have been give up head coaching to concentrate on Defense.

Maybe relieving Romeo of DC duties will help a defense ranked almost dead last in the league.

I’m sure that O will start clicking now that a defensive minded guy will be giving his input. Couldn’t they have just put recently deposed Eagles D coord Juan Castillo in charge of the offense?

Ever since that horrific hairdo of Dontari Poe’s was seen during the draft it’s been all downhill for the Chiefs…

Well, he was head coach and defensive coordinator, and wanted to give up half his jobs. I mean, he wants to ease into being fired, not have it happen all of a sudden.

Tampa Hali, Brandon flowers, Eric Berry, Derrick Johnson, Justin Houston, Glenn Dorsey, Tyson Jackson, Kendrick Lewis. All are very good player some being pro bowlers. The problem is Crennel being head coach. He is an awesome d cord. But can’t do both.

tedmurph — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 22:00:38 +0000

@nite2al:

Hali and Berry have been Pro-Bowlers and if Flowers has’nt, he’s right there. Don’t know what the prob is , besides QB play, but not sure it’s the talent. Never heard of a team being -20 in turnovers half way thru the season.

I wasn’t thrilled when they decided to take the intern off and give him the head coaching job. I was even less thrilled when Romeo said he was also keeping the D Coordinator role. This is a step in the right direction, but Romeo, you blew your opportunity to be a head coach for the 2nd time with your decision to have to control the D and try to be a head coach.

K.C. Time to interview Mike Zimmer and Chip Kelly!

Crennel’s still living off his reputation from coaching under Belichick; and to an extent, Parcells. I think it’s pretty evident now the guy just isn’t a very good coach in any capacity. Other than one lucky season in Cleveland, where they had a cakewalk schedule and most of their wins were by a few points; those Browns teams were among the worst since they came back in 99.

They should have kept Kyle Orton.

Tamba Hali, Derrick Johnson, Brandon Flowers, Eric Berry, Glen Dorsey…I’m pretty sure there are at least 2 out of there that most people have heard of…

The Chiefs offense and defense has talent.

On Offense QB cripples us. Matt Cassel cant make even the simplest of throws consistently.

On defense losing Carr was killer. Hali, Houston, and Derrick Johnson are quietly a really nice group of LB’s.

Eric Berry has NOT come back from the ACL very well. As we all knew, a lot of players take 2 yrs to get right from that injury.

With all that said, Crennel is lost. He just doesnt motivate a team and has no discipline at all. Thats a bad combo with a really young team.

Funny thing is is the fans in kc really beleived this defense was top notch because of the final couple games last year, forgetting all about the fact that they gave up 30+ pts in at least 5 games last year. They also finished in last place, yet everyone beleived they were going to have double digit wins this year, what a joke.

Maybe Clarke Hunt shouldn’t have fired Todd Haley?

At least the team showed heart when Haley was coach. They’ve shown none this year. You reap what you sow Hunt!
