After a season filled to the brim with miscues on both sides of the ball, Kansas City is seemingly set to completely overhaul their coaching staff underneath head coach Todd Haley with the additions of two former New England coordinators in Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weis.

Multiple sources are reporting that Crennel will be the Chiefs new defensive coordinator, with an announcement potentially coming from the team this week. The current coordinator in Kansas City, Clancy Pendergast, has been under fire for most of the season and is not expected to be retained.  Crennel was most recently the head coach in Cleveland, before being fired at the end of the 2008 season. He has been out of football for the entirety of this year after undergoing hip surgery during the off-season.

Weis has been linked to the position with the Chiefs since his dismissal from the Notre Dame head coaching position in November of last year, along with several other potential job openings around the league. The connection between the two is expected to intensify though, especially after NFL.com analyst Jason LaCanfora reported this morning (via Twitter) that he believes Kansas City will be the eventual landing spot for Weis.

As always, we’ll keep you posted when more information becomes available.
