Romeo Crennel to Chiefs: It Could Happen…
So, it looks like there is an offer on the table for Romeo Crennel to come to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Former Browns coach Romeo Crennel, who recently had hip replacement surgery, has an opportunity to join the Kansas City Chiefs in an unspecified capacity.
New Chiefs coach Todd Haley has an opening on his defensive staff and has not assigned official roles yet to his defensive assistants.
“There’s some fluidity on the defensive side and that’s why I’ve been a little vague on who’s doing what right now,” Haley said at the NFL combine to a direct question about Crennel. “I’m trying to get as many good coaches on my staff as I can. That’s not an area I want to talk about right now.”
So what do you guys think about Romeo Crennel coming to the Chiefs? (We know Ryan has talked about Crennel to the Chiefs before).
You would have to think that if the Chiefs brought in Crennel it would be for the position of defensive coordinator, but you never know I guess.
What do you think Chiefs fans?

Chiefs Offer Todd Haley Head Coaching Job
So in a move that most have been expecting the Kansas City Chiefs have officially offered their head coaching job to Cardinals’ OC Todd Haley.
FOX Sports on MSN - Jay Glazer - Sources: Cards assistant tabbed to coach Chiefs.
FOXSports.com has learned that the Chiefs offered the position to Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley and he has accepted. They are now trying to work out terms of a contract agreement.
And apparently the reports of Haley interviewing for the Chiefs head coaching job this past week were also true (go figure, huh).
Haley interviewed for the position earlier this week and a Cardinals player at the Pro Bowl told FOXSports.com Haley was scheduled to arrive in Honolulu for the Pro Bowl Thursday as a guest of Cardinals wideout Larry Fitzgerald, but canceled at the last moment because of the Kansas City job.
It is nice have a guy (almost I guess) that is highly respected and that the players realize is a big loss.
“He’s going to be a big loss for us,” another Cards player told FOXSports.com.
A different Cardinals player said, “He was really liked in the locker room, because we felt like he was always trying to figure something out for us for Sundays. He never stopped.”
Haley called the plays for the high-flying Cardinals offense that shocked the world by not only getting to the Super Bowl, but nearly winning it last Sunday.
So, it’s looking like a “Welcome to the Kansas City Chiefs” is in order for you Todd Haley.

Chiefs News - Head Coaches, Grocery Stores and Rooney Rule
Just doing a little catchup here on some Chiefs news.
If you have never been to a game this won’t mean as much to you, but the Kansas City Chiefs will now have Hy-Vee as it’s go to grocery store… so for all of us season ticket holders that means no more, “Chiefs and Chopper! Chiefs and Chopper!”
Chiefs switching supermarket sponsorship contract from Price Chopper to Hy-Vee - Kansas City Star
Say so long to “Chiefs and Chopper.”
After nearly three decades, the homegrown Price Chopper chain will no longer be the Kansas City Chiefs’ “official” grocery sponsor. Price Chopper said the Chiefs indicated that when the sponsorship contract ran out in March, Iowa-based Hy-Vee Food & Drug would take over.
Chiefs Head Coaching News:
Nothing really new as far as Chiefs head coaching news besides a ‘report’ (esp as of late, we all know how reliable some of these reports can be) out of Chicago saying that Cardinals OC Todd Haley is expected to interview with the Chiefs very soon.
Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haley is expected to interview with the Kansas City Chiefs this week for their head coaching vacancy.
One part of this article that I find interesting is this:
One source said minority candidates have turned down interviews to fulfill the Rooney Rule because the prevailing feeling in league circles is that the job belongs to Haley.
If the Chiefs are unable to interview a minority candidate because they all believe the head coaching job is already spoken for, then what? Will the Chiefs be fined by the league or will they let it slide because they offered interviews and were turned down? If true, this could be very interesting to watch play out.
Well, that’s all for Chiefs news for now. Go Chiefs!

Chiefs fire Herm Edwards: Mike Shanahan near a deal to become Chiefs head coach
Chiefs fire Edwards; Shanahan next
Well, it is looking like that report that came out Wednesday could be right afterall.
Herm has been fired and it looks like the next head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs could be Mike Shanahan.
The Chiefs have been in negotiations to land Shanahan as their next coach and a deal is near, league sources told ESPN’s Chris Mortensen.
That is all they are saying at the moment about Shanahan and the Chiefs and I will let you guys know the second I hear a deal has been struck (if one is struck).
In the mean time here is a little more on the Herm Edwards firing:
“On behalf of my family, I want to thank Herm for his service to the Chiefs,” Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said in a team statement. “After careful deliberation over the last week, Scott and I decided that it was in the best interests of the Chiefs to move forward in a different direction.
“This was not an easy decision. Herm is an outstanding football coach and a man of integrity. We appreciate his leadership over the past three seasons, and we wish him all the best in the future.”
This pretty much sums up Herm’s time in KC.
Edwards came to Kansas City from the Jets and made the playoffs in his first season, when the team was 9-7. But he was under fire after the team finished 4-12 in 2007. Team management gave him its support, but expected a run at the playoffs. Instead, the team went 2-14, leaving Edwards’ fate up in the air.
In Edwards’ three seasons in Kansas City, only 3 teams had worse records: Detroit, Oakland and St. Louis.
I really like Herm as a person I just feel it was the right time for a change to be made. I wish you all of the best Herm.

Herm Edwards fired by Kansas City Chiefs
Source: Herm Edwards fired by Kansas City Chiefs - ESPN.
KANSAS CITY — Kansas City Chiefs coach Herm Edwards was fired Friday, a well-placed source told ESPN.
Edwards was 15-33 in three seasons with the Chiefs, including 2-14 this season.
He was 39-41 in five seasons as head coach of the New York Jets.
I will get more out on this as soon as I hear more.
Maybe this is the ‘coaching news’ that we were supposed to find out by Friday. And does this mean the Chiefs have someone else in mind and ready to hire?
