Panthers, Gross making progress - ESPN

What's in a title? Clancy Pendergast accepted a job on the Chiefs' coaching staff without a specific title. The Chiefs were vague with the titles of the assistant coaches they have hired is because there is a chance Romeo Crennel might become the Chiefs' defensive coordinator. Pendergast and other defensive coaches accepted jobs as "defensive assistant coaches.''

Renewed hope for a proven DC next season!

Swear to God, the title in my post was the title when I posted it.

Look at the title at the top of your browser. But I still don't think this has been announced, and Clayton wouldn't have put out that blog posting the same day if there was an announcement. Also both Pendergast and Gibbs Wikipedia articles still say they were hired with consideration for the DC job.

• A source close to Romeo Crennel said Tuesday night the former Cleveland head coach and former New England defensive coordinator is not close to joining the Kansas City staff as a defensive coordinator. It is possible, at some point, the source said, that Crennel could join former New England colleague Scott Pioli as a defensive consultant.
just another article on the same subject

I've heard the same rumor today on NFL radio about Crennel being in the mix. Pendergrast or Crennel are the likely scenarios although, I wouldn't mind Jim Haslet's name enter the conversation.
