The past week has been eventful for what has happened off the field with the Chiefs. First, defrocked Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis was named offensive coordinator, then on Thursday coach Todd Haley made it official that former Browns head coach Romeo Crennel would take over as defensive coordinator a year later than Haley had a originally hoped.
Haley says he’s not through reshaping his staff and he says he plans for former defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast to still be a part of the coaching staff. He’s now surrounded by two former coordinators from the Patriots Super Bowl years, but how will that transfer in Kansas City with less talent t work with?
Crennel told reporters he would continue with the plan to use a 3-4 base defense but would be flexible in mixing and matching game plans and talent. That’s a positive first step. Now it’s time to get into the film room. Decide who to keep and who goes and start planning for the draft.
Priorities from my point of view are offensive line and linebacker and I think there’s a good likelihood the Chiefs will trade down in the first round if given the opportunity.
