Romeo Crennel came to Kansas City as defensive coordinator in 2010 after a four-year stint as the head coach of the Cleveland Browns (2005-08). He was named the Chiefs' head coach following the 2011 season.

Crennel spent four seasons as defensive coordinator in New England (2001-04), where he helped the Patriots win three Super Bowl titles. In total, Crennel owns five Super Bowl rings, has made six Super Bowl appearances and has been a member of teams that have reached the conference championship game on seven occasions.

Prior to a one-year stint as Cleveland’s defensive coordinator/defensive line coach in 2000, Crennel spent three seasons as the defensive line coach with the N.Y. Jets (’97-99). It was there that Crennel began his association with Chiefs General Manager Scott Pioli and Head Coach Todd Haley.

Prior to joining the Jets, the Lynchburg, Virginia native served as the defensive line coach for four campaigns in New England (’93-96).

Crennel began his NFL coaching career with a 12-year stint with the N.Y. Giants (’81-92), serving as the defensive line coach (’90-92), special teams coach (’83-89) and special teams/defensive assistant coach (’81-82).

Crennel began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at his alma mater of Western Kentucky in ’70 before enjoying a four-season stint as the school’s defensive line coach. A four-year starter on the defensive line at Western Kentucky, Crennel was elected captain as a senior. A rash of injuries during his senior season forced him to switch to offensive tackle where he earned team MVP honors.

Crennel was a prep star at Fort Knox High School in Fort Knox, Kentucky and Central High School in Amherst, Virginia. His brother, Carl, entered the NFL as a ninth-round draft choice (209th overall) of Pittsburgh in ’70, playing one season with the Steelers before enjoying an 11-year career in the Canadian Football League.
