Kansas City Chiefs hire Charlie Weis as offensive coordinator
Fomer Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis is going to be the Kansas City Chiefs’ new offensive coordinator. The terms of the deal have not been set, but according to team sources Weis has accepted the job. Weis had a disappointing tenure at Notre Dame going 35-27 in five seasons, but he has had a lot more success as a coordinator in the NFL. He won three Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots and his offensive system works much better in the pro game. Head coach Todd Haley took over the play-calling duties on offense early this year after firing Chan Gailey, but he did not want to make that move permanent. Haley and Weis have coached together before and have both stated they are friends who have a lot of respect for each other as coaches. The Chiefs were 4-12 this year and they struggled to score enough points, so this was a good move by the Chiefs since Weis is known for having a great offensive mind. Their defense was pretty bad too, and rumors are now coming out that defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast may be replaced by former Cleveland Browns coach Romeo Crennel. Hopefully these new additions will help the Chiefs take a step forward next season.
