Chiefs are planning to retain Romeo Crennel and remove interim tag from his title. Move would be popular in the locker room.

i honestly think i,m more worried who the new OC is going to be than the HC. Probably because i always thought romeo wouldbe it.
As bad as our offense was this year we need a strong,new ideas OC.One that attacks all the time. Maybe now i will start worring about who the new DC willbe and if he can have the killer instint that our defense is starting to get.

Good point. Hopefully we can get someone on Defense who is like crennel and hopefully an upgrade over bill muir.

remember "The Gun" experiment and frank gansz

Good news. Crennel will still have a hand in the defense and I'm sure he will bring in a defensive coordinator who shares his scheme/philosophy. Now we need an OC

Mike Martz is available.

Anyone? ....

...Maybe not.

I actually like Martz's system, but you have to have the right players for it and I don't think we do. It also takes a long time to learn and some guys never pick it up.

On the other hand, I actually think our receivers are a better fit for him than Chicago's. And with Matt Forte, he did show the flexibility to go to a more balanced running/passing attack. If he would be willing to do that with the Chiefs, I think we would have a very potent offense (assuming we upgrade the O-line). But it seemed like he wanted to pass as much as he could get away with and only run as much as he had to.

The biggest problem with Martz's system is that it is high risk/high reward. There are more big plays but at the cost of more turnovers. And because his plays take longer to develop, the QB takes a tremendous beating.

I don't think he is a good fit for the Chiefs, but I don't hate the idea either. It would be interesting to see what he could do with a "gunslinger" like Orton.
