Crennel wants Chiefs' head-coaching job but won't push for it

"Romeo Crennel isn't the politicking type. He doesn't grandstand or make lofty promises. But there was a hint Sunday evening that a message was being sent to the men who will decide Crennel's future — as well as that of the Chiefs."What, I'm 2-1 in the three games we've played?" Crennel said after Sunday's 7-3 win over the Denver Broncos. "From a percentage standpoint, that's not terrible."That's as brash as it gets for Crennel, the 64-year-old interim head coach. He reiterated Sunday that he still wants the job permanently, though he didn't make a grand verbal push for it. Instead, the best evidence came in wins against Green Bay and Denver, and a locker room full of players who want Crennel to remain as coach."I hate speaking on upstairs stuff," Pro Bowl linebacker Derrick Johnson said. "But as a player, I love him. I would love for him to be my coach. For sure.""
