Source: Crennel hired by Chiefs

As expected, the Kansas City Chiefs have officially hired Romeo Crennel to be their defensive coordinator, a source close to the situation tells ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Crennel reunites with general manager Scott Pioli and offensive coordinator Charlie Weis. They were all in New England together during its Super Bowl run. Weis was hired by Kansas City last week following his ouster as Notre Dame's coach.

Crennel will not start work for a couple of weeks because of a prior commitment -- he'll be the head coach of the East Team in the East-West college football all-star game on Jan. 23 in Orlando, Fla.

Crennel, who replaces Clancy Pendergast in Kansas City, coached the Browns for four seasons before being fired after the 2008 season. He was 24-40 in Cleveland.

How about that?

Any other "ex-Pats" on that coaching staff?

 

[Not Sure]

Shocking move.

I hope they get Paul Shaffer for keyboards this time instead of that "Murph" dude.

Chiefs are making moves.

This could end up a legit team pretty quickly.

While Paul Shaffer DID pen "It's Raining Men" he cannot hold a candle to the pompadour on Murph or the fact that if you get Murph you also get The Magictones. The Magictones>>>The World's Most Dangerous Band(although I will allow that Anton Fig is a cooler name than Donald "The Duck" Dunn.)"Don't you go changin'."

Ever since Bush brought one of his old cronies in I've been pessimistic about just hiring your old crew, we'll see.
