yea but Players Coaches dont get you to the Super Bowl, let alone consistent playoff contender

who was the last one? Tony Dungy?

Tomlin, the Harbaugh bros, Coughlin, Sean Payton, Belichick, far from players coaches. Guys who command respect by being very hard.

Is Romeo a players coach because he goes easy in practice and training camp though? I could have answered my own question if I paid more attention to camp instead of messing around in beerme's threads and making granola bar threads.

well i can't answer that because I don't follow other team's camp threads as hard as I do my favorite team in the Chiefs.

I don't think Romeo is running it any softer than say, Todd Haley. I'm sure Romeo is much more organized, and the team will be prepared. But it's some of these teams that play that smash mouth type of football, will they be prepared for the hard hits of the Steelers and the Ravens and the consistent punch you in the face teams. It's seems more they will be able to hang with all the finesse squads.

Crennel is pretty old school. I wouldn't necessarily call him a player's coach if you mean having soft practices and inmates running the asylum. But players respect the hell out of the guy, which is a lot more than what you can say about Haley.

Belichick? Genius. Maybe the best ever.

Crennel? Total fraud that is Exhibit A in the case against the Rooney rule.

Why do you ask?

How many times were we on Chiefsplanet inundated with cries of "But Fitz LOVES him and helped him become the receiver he is today"?

LMAO

Morons.

the ole "Keyshawn got Haley's back so he has respect!" defense.

The Rooney Rule blows but without it, Herm wouldn't have a job at ESPN.

Maybe Haley is just a good WRs coach and not a good HC. Maybe Crennel is just a good DC and not a good HC. I guess we'll find out. I believe Crennel will be a lot better than Todd. At least he won't embarrass our organization by acting like a tool.

There is NO doubt that Romeo is an excellent defensive coordinator. The jury is till out on his HC abilities but he certainly showed his mettle late last season.

Haley, OTOH, has shown nothing, other than birthrights are pretty handy (and lucrative).

Some people in pro sports have nothing notable about their career, other than whose crotch the doctor yanked them out of.

I never really understood that. Haley rode the Warner/Fitz wave to a HC position in the NFL.
