Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel has announced the rest of his staff, which includes quarterbacks coach Jim Zorn, who was passed over for the offensive coordinator position.

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:05:59 PST

It took over a month for Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel to get the man he wanted as his offensive coordinator for the 2012 season. Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli waited until the Dolphins finally cut Brian Daboll loose and then brought him to Kansas City.

It's the third team in four years for Daboll to serve as offensive coordinator, after two years with the Browns (2009-10) and last year in Miami. He's also the fifth offensive coordinator in four years in Kansas City. He replaces fired/retired Bill Muir who served in that role during the Chiefs' ill-fated 2010 season.

Crennel and Pioli have picked another piece of coaching fruit from the Bill Belichick coaching tree; Daboll spent seven seasons in New England (2000-06) working as an assistant his first two years...

There's still a game in there somewhere (The Canadian Press)

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:50:54 PST

The strangest coaching decision during Super Bowl week wasn't when Bill Belichick ordered his defence to act like matadors and wave Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw by for a touchdown from six yards out with less than a minute left in the game. That's just the one people will remember. The really odd one came four days earlier when the uber-prepared Patriots coach, anticipating a halftime show that would dictate a 30-minute intermission rather than the usual 12, ordered his players to take a break from practising football and practice sitting in the locker-room for a half-hour instead.
