Well, Crennel has been heavily linked to KC in the past few weeks.
Looks like Crennel to the Chiefs may happen soon.

If it were up to you, would you do any of the following:
1) Fire Pees, hire a replacement DC (I realize this is a bit difficult since "replacement" could run the gamut between much improved and much worse, but in theory...)
2) Hire an OC, relegate O'Brien to QB coach.
3) Fire any of the assistant coaches, and replace them.
Knowing only what I know, and extrapolating from that:
1.) Keep Pees (I can't think of anyone out there worth dumping him for). If **** LeBeau decides he wants a new challenge, I could be convinced to change my mind.
2.) Test O'Brien on where he sees the offense going. I want more slants, more passes to the RBs not named Faulk on 1st and 2nd down, and fewer plays where all 3 receivers run into isolate areas rather than feeding off of one another. I'd also give the O.C. a true fullback to use and a WR3 that can threaten on middle routes. If O'Brien could convince me that he'd be with me on that, I might be up for giving him another season. After all, if not him, who? I'm not exactly keen on calling up Mike Martz, Norm Chow doesn't do it for me, and Chan Gailey couldn't even handle the Cardinals version of the Patriots offense, so he's out. Now, if someone could come up with an O.C. who ran a similar system and could make the adjustment, I'd be open for the conversation.
The problem with saying this is that I don't know how much Belichick has had to cover for the coordinators, and I don't know how much he's meddled in a negative way, either. Neither the coaches nor the players have been very forthcoming on this issue.
We have an OC who is in training, with no one to train him. We someohow believe that of all the position coaches in the nfl, there is no one better. We someohow believe tha among the uinemployed OC's and HC's, there is no one more qualified.
Pass the koolaid.

Good post I tend to agree, I don't see Pees going anywhere unless he decides to retire. O'Brien more slants yes please! As for an offensive coordinator Martz has his own system and Chow will most likely end up in Seattle. I think some people need to be reminded that McDaniels was here since 2001 and O'Brien has only been here since 2007. What I'm saying is that O'Brien has had more to learn and understand in a shorter amount of time compared too McDaniels who benefited from having Weis for four seasons.Knowing only what I know, and extrapolating from that:

The problem is that O'Brien really did a poor job with the offense this year. Scot Zollack called for him to be fired after the game and at least on this point I feel I'm in good company. I don't know who's available, but I do know that O'Brien stunck
If Scott Zolak is calling on someone to be fired, that person should probably be given a contract extension and a raise.
Which means teams know what we're doing. The epitome of predictable.
You could hear Lewis saying "run", or "screen".
A team has problems when it's that obvious.
Brady's not calling an audible on every play. And if he is then he has issues.
Our offensive play-calling has been very poor. There is no two ways of getting away from it.
I don't disagree, but then the point is why's he calling an audible in the first place? Because he doesn't like the play?
Our choice of plays, the way we're game-planning, it's not been good enough. We had only 18 runs yesterday. Granted we were 21 down within about 90 seconds of the kick off, but you can't go away from the run, especially not that early. You have to mix it in, keep teams from teeing off on one aspect. That's how you build drives. It's Football 101.
I was just speculating if Bill got Mike Martz as our OC.
What do you people think?
See Page 2 of this thread. At least 2 of us are against it because of all the changes it would bring.
