Chiefs Hire Crennel as Defensive Coordinator Sportsbook. Sportsbook had the Kansas City Chiefs naming Romeo Crennel as their defensive coordinator on Wednesday.The former Cleveland head coach who ran the New England defense in their Super Bowl years had been targeted by the Chiefs for a while. The Chiefs had a poor season in terms of odds at the Internet sportsbook but they have some pieces in place to improve next season.
Sportsbook success for Kansas City has not come very often in recent years but that could change. The Chiefs are taking people from New England in an attempt to copy the Patriots’ success. They have Scott Pioli as GM, Matt Cassel at quarterback; Charlie Weis as offensive coordinator and now they have Crennel as the defensive coordinator. Crennel replaces Clancy Pendergast who was only on the job for one sportsbook season after coming from the Arizona Cardinals.
Crennel was highly sought after by NFL teams. Internet sportsbook info had him turning down the New York Giants for a chance to work in Kansas City with his former New England counterparts. Internet sportsbook has him coaching the same type of defense to what he ran with New England.
The Chiefs definitely need the help to improve their results at the sportsbook. The Chiefs have won just 10 games in the last three Internet sportsbook years. They were 4-12 this sportsbook year under rookie head coach Todd Haley. Bringing in Crennel should help Kansas City’s defense and the offense should be improved with Weis calling the plays. Sportsbook numbers indicate that Crennel struggled as head coach with Cleveland going 24-40 but his defenses were not normally the problem.
The Chiefs defense last season was terrible as sportsbook stats show. They had some terrible outings as sportsbook stats showed and need serious help to shut other teams down. Just how bad was Kansas City on defense during the 2009 NFL season? They were 29th in the league in scoring defense and 30th in total yards allowed as sportsbook statistics showed. Crennel has his work cut out for him but his past experience should help. Picking fifth in the NFL Draft should also help as Kansas City should get a top defensive player who can make a sportsbook impact next season. The Chiefs schedule next sportsbook NFL season is favorable as they have only three games against playoff teams and that also helps.
