Great bump.

opinions are like belly buttons...

Who wrote that POS?

yikes.

Just because the guy is wrong with respect to Schiano (so far), doesn't mean the guy is wrong all over.  I think his grades for the other 6 are so far panning out to be accurate.  You can't really call him right or wrong on KC (Crennel), yet.  In this league you need 1 of 2 things to win... a great defense or a good QB.  Kansas City is (and was in January), 2-3 years away from both of those.  As for the other 5, I think his initial assessment is holding to form.  Just as with his stance on KC, you can't really say he's wrong on Schiano even though the early returns suggest that he is.  It's only been 10 games.

KC won 7 games last season. This year they have the worst point differential in the NFL. They're on pace top finish with a worse point differential than the 2011 Bucs.

Again, it's 10 games.

And through 10 games they're worse than the 2011 Bucs.

So that means that automatically, Crennel is a total failure and writer of the article is an idiot?

[OneTruth]

with the information obtained so far.... yes.

[3rd String Kicker]

For a second I thought these were current and was ready to never read SI ever again. At least now I know these are from January and will never read SI ever again.

I don't see how you can say hiring Crennel to be the full time coach wasn't a total failure.

[Hate]

But Crennel and Mularkey are really bad. I know Jax took Houston to OT yesterday, but its one of only very few bright spots on a horrible season.

Jax's problem is Gabbert. If Henne was playing all along, they'd have a few more wins....IMO.

[GameTime]

switch crennel and schiano grades and the list aint half bad!

and as hate pointed out, if gabbert doesnt play again mularkey might look a lot better as a coach.

[Bucpride5]

1. Romeo Crennel, Chiefs: 1-9

2. Joe Philbin, Dolphins: 4-6

3. Jeff Fisher, Rams: 3-6-1

4. Chuck Pagano, Colts: 6-4 (Currently not coaching, but inspiring team)

5. Mike Mularkey, Jaguars: 1-9

6. Dennis Allen, Raiders: 3-7

7. Greg Schiano, Buccaneers: 6-4

After 10 games, I like the Bucs hire, and am def excited the direction the team is heading.
