ROMEO CRENNEL RUMORS

Chiefs defense wins day during offseason workouts

The Kansas City Chiefs defense has lived by the bend-but-don't-break mantra the past few years under Romeo Crennel. Well, that's out the window now. New defensive coordinator Bob Sutton would prefer to attack from the word, ''Hike,'' and during the first week of organized team activities, his players have taken quite the shine to it. The Chiefs only intercepted...

  The Kansas City Chiefs fired Romeo Crennel after just 1 season under the mic and this is Crennel’s second head coaching job where he was relieved of his duty.

Crennel defends his conservative philosophy

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Four times on Sunday the Chiefs were in Denver territory facing short yardage on fourth down. Four times the Chiefs and coach Romeo Crennel opted to either kick a field goal or punt. Not exactly the hey-we-got-nothing-to-lose approach you might expect from a team that was 1-9 and riding a seven-game losing streak coming into the game. But Crennel defended his...

First-year coaches on the hot seat

Usually first-year head coaches are exempt from the proverbial hot seat, but this season has been anything but predictable, and it has a pair of first-year head coaches beginning to look like dead men walking.

Crennel to Chiefs fans: 'hang with us'

KANSAS CITY, Mo. With his team 1-6 and facing two seemingly unwinnable games in the next two weeks at San Diego and at Pittsburgh, Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel was asked Monday what he would say to Chiefs fans at this point.
