KANSAS CITY CHIEFS NAME CLANCY PENDERGAST DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR

MAR 13, 2009, 2:14:52 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Friday that the club has named Clancy Pendergast defensive coordinator on head coach Todd Haley’s coaching staff.
“Clancy was instrumental in the Arizona Cardinals run at the end of last season that led to our appearance in the Super Bowl,” head coach Todd Haley noted. “The fact that we have experience working together along with Clancy’s previous experience working with Gary Gibbs will be a big factor in our continuity as we move forward.”
Pendergast owns 14 seasons of experience in the NFL coaching ranks and he spent the past five campaigns as defensive coordinator with Arizona (2004-08). The Cardinals defense was opportunistic under Pendergast’s direction in 2008, leading the league by recovering 17 opponents’ fumbles. The club also tied for fifth in the league a year ago with 30 total takeaways. In 2007, Arizona ranked ninth in the NFL in run defense by allowing 97.9 yards per game.
Prior to guiding the Cardinals defensive unit, Pendergast spent one season as the linebackers coach with Cleveland (2003) and he enjoyed a seven-year tenure with Dallas (’96-02). He began his NFL coaching career as a defensive assistant/quality control coach with Houston (’95).
The Phoenix, Arizona native started his coaching career in the collegiate ranks as a graduate assistant with Mississippi State (’91). Pendergast enjoyed stops at Southern California (’92) as a defensive assistant and at Oklahoma (’93-94) as a graduate assistant and tight ends coach. Pendergast graduated from the University of Arizona in ‘90.
