The Kansas City Chiefs announced today that they have fired head coach Todd Haley.
“This was a difficult decision but one that we feel is best for the future of the Chiefs,” Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said. “Although there have been bright spots at different points this season, we have not made meaningful progress and we felt that it was necessary to make a change. We appreciate Todd’s contributions during his time with the club, and we wish him well in the future.”
Adam Schefter of ESPN says that the Chiefs have told members of their organization that defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel will be interim head coach. Crennel was former head coach of the Cleveland Browns from 2005 through 2008.
