[KC Chiefs.com] The Chiefs have confirmed that defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel will coach the team for the remainder of the 2011 season following the dismissal of Todd Haley.
Crennel is in his second season as the Chiefs defensive coordinator. Prior to that, he was the head coach of the Cleveland Browns for four seasons.
The Chiefs have three games remaining this year on December 18th vs. Green Bay, on December 24th vs. Oakland and on January 1st at Denver.
Tough spot to start being a Interm coach…. Good luck Romeo….give Greenbay their first loss….PLEASE

I hope his first move is to let Zorn call the offensive plays and let Stanzi or Orton or both play. We need to see if either can play.

I agree with Jeff. This season is a bust!!Let Stanzi get some reps and get the mistakes out of the way. Orton will be just good enough to get us a middle first round pick again.

Western, I think Orton is a free agent at the end of the year, we won’t get anything for him. He will be free to go, that’s why I think we need to play him to see if we should pay him to stay around.

If Orton can go, he should start the next two than see if Stanzi can take down the Power of Tebow in the finale. I never want to see Palko on the field again. Finally, I hope we bring in a big name coach and retain Romeo as the DC. He has been awesome most of the year.

I would like to see Orton take down Tebow!

Tebow goes down this week as in a loss – will be a shame….. not really

I hope for Landry Jones – He has potential…. besides he is from Oklahoma

I think a great fit would be Schottenheimer in KC. NO NO not the one your thinking of I’m talking the OC of the Jets. He has got his fathers mental toughness coupled with an offensive mind. He will make a great head coach soon.

To Jeff from VA, I would love to see anybody take down Tebow! I have nothing against the guy but I’m getting sick of hearing about a QB that can only move the ball on a prevent defense. To WesternKsChief, Schottenheimer would be solid if we can’t land any of the big names. Please, no Josh McDaniels!!! Finally to Dave, Jones (OK), Barkley (USC) or Weeden (OK St) would be good but I think RG3 would be impossible to pass on if he is available. That kid is beyond special!

Actually, I like all of the top 5 QBs in the draft. Some people here won’t be happy with a QB that isn’t as good as Brady, but I don’t know where we can get one of those. Unless we trade for Manning.
