Among the firestorm of coaching moves that usually accompanies the end of the NFL regular season I found a pair of moves by the Chiefs that intrigued me. In the past week former New England Patriots executive Scott Pioli brought in former head coaches Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weis who both rose to prominence as defensive and offensive coordinators during the Patriots Super Bowl era.
Having already brought in former Pats Mike Vrabel and Matt Cassel last seasons it appears to me that Pioli is attempting to recreate the success he had with New England. I have always liked the talent the Chiefs have been assembling over the past few years even though they shown much in the way of results on the field. They're a very young team and I think the front office made a smart in releasing RB Larry Johnson earlier this year. I feel good about their chances to show some real improvement next year with another good offseason and can foresee them being relevant within the next 2-3 years.
Of course a lot of that depends on well Matt Cassel can play QB in the NFL and if the team can get a few of those lucky breaks that shift momentum and make the NFL so exciting year after year.
