Bring Back Tim Krumrie

Recommended Posts

According to the Kansas City Star, Chiefs Defensive Line coach Tim Krumrie's future is in question. I went back and read his bio and was amazed at how productive he has been with mediocre teams. There's no comparison between his record and Bill Kollar's. Check it out:

Professional Bio

14th Year NFL Coach • 3rd with Chiefs

 

Entering his 26th year in the NFL as either a player or a coach, Tim Krumrie embarks on his third season coaching the Chiefs defensive line. The 14-year NFL coach joined the Kansas City staff after a three-year stint in the same capacity with Buffalo (2003-05) and eight seasons on the Cincinnati coaching staff (’95-02). His fiery coaching style mixes a hands-on approach with high-intensity drills. He often participates in one of his trademark practice routines, which is a functional football drill to test the character of his players.

 

DE Jared Allen continued to flourish under Krumrie’s tutelage in 2007, leading the NFL with 15.5 sacks a year ago. Allen earned his initial Pro Bowl invitation and received first-team All-Pro honors in the process. The club’s first Pro Bowl defensive end since DE Neil Smith (’95), Allen posted six multi-sack games in 2007. The Chiefs defense tied for fifth in the NFL with 37.0 QB takedowns last season, registering 4.0 more sacks in three different contests.

 

Under Krumrie’s guidance, DE Tamba Hali registered a team-high 8.0 sacks and won the team’s Mack Lee Hill Rookie of the Year Award as the club’s top rookie in 2006. Hali was third in the NFL with six forced fumbles and became the first rookie defensive end to start all 16 games for the Chiefs since ‘78.

 

During his tenure with Buffalo, DE Aaron Schobel racked up 12.0 sacks in 2005. During his tour of duty in Buffalo, the Bills twice finished second in the NFL in total defense, allowing 269.6 yards per game in 2003 and 264.3 yards per game in 2004. Buffalo also registered a league-high 39 takeaways in 2004.

Its amazing what great players can do for a coach. I love how he can use great players such as Allen, Smith and Schobel, (who get sacks every year regardless of who their d-line coach is) and coast off their success and ability. We had him here once, he did nothing.
