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

You really think that motivation is a problem for Romeo though? I think he'll have his issues, but I don't think Motivation will be one of them.

I never really watched the browns (who the **** watches the browns?) so i can't say what kind of HC he'd be. But i have seen his D's play, and they play hard for him.

He didn't have a ****ing plan because he didn't have a ****ing clue.

He's young but talented. He was only given 2.5 seasons to figure shit out about being a head coach. He just needed more time. The questionable gameday decisions would have gone away eventually.

It would have been pretty hard to follow someone that was a golfer.

True, but the difference is that under Herm, the 2:00 drill didn't matter most of the time, because we were already getting whipped at the end of the half or game.

Haley's mismanagement of the game and clock in those situations cost us momentum, and some close games ultimately.

We need dane back today.

I wouldn't hire him if I were a gm. But that doesn't mean he's nearly as bad a coach as everyone wants him to be. Again, I'm not saying he was a great coach for kc. I'm saying he was a great coach to usher in the rebuild.

Because he had the balls to get rid of all the aging brokedick Vermeil players and start with a fresh foundation?

I guess. And I thank him for that. But if he was any kind of head coach, he would have had more success with the rebuild than he did.

I was skeptical about Solari.

I never saw him as some great O-Line guru.

The fact is, he was a guy that schemed the blocking for a team with one of teh best O-Lines the NFL has ever seen, and the only guy that developed into a great O-Lineman while he was the O-Line coach was Brian Waters, and the responsibility for teaching technique was the asst. O-Line coach.

Skeptical really isn't the correct word.

I thought it was stupidity.

Ok. Sure, that's a possibility.

OR

Maybe this team is ready for a HC like Romeo. Maybe Haley came in and was exactly what they needed. He got them into shape and taught them how to take care of their bodies. Taught them to be tough. But he ran his coarse.

Ever thought this team's core talent is old enough now, mature enough, with enough NFL experience to not need someone to scream at them? Maybe their ready for someone who will treat them like men?

Maybe not.

So why argue with such certainty that this team will be worse off? We have no idea. These aren't the ****ing cleveland Browns. Compadre, if he proves he's a failure, i'm sure there will be plenty of time to bitch about it.

Truth is it doesn't matter. HC and OC don't matter when your QB is Matt Cassel.

Great coaches demand perfection.

Look at the SB winners.

Not many Dick Vermeil's in there.

The Lombardi's, The Landry's, the Bellichick's, the Parcells' types are the ones that win.

I watch a lot of Atlanta, and I can tell you Mike Smith didn't make anything resembling the mistakes Haley made for three years for even his first season.

And 90+% of the folks here laughed when the Falcons hire Smith.

We all need more time, dude.

I think Haley has a place in the league, but I simply do not believe he has the mental makeup to be a successful HC. He's far, far too volatile.

Herm had a guy just to help with that and still was horrible too.

This always happens. Especially for players. Even at our offices. You have an asshole boss and you LOVE it when the finally hire the good guy. If the new guy doesn't run a tight ship, you start taking a day off or two. The. You realize he doesn't care or notice so you take another.

I think next year, the players play real hard for Romeo. Harder than they ever played for Haley. But I think after that, you'll really see if Romeo can keep that motivation going. I think what you saw with norv in sd is exactly what we'll see in kc, except that Romeo will have less talent to work with.

[Messier]

Crennel at least acknowledged the possibility that Orton could be the full time starter.
