While the current New England Patriots grapple over offensive play-calling, the architect of their past Super Bowl defenses announced his retirement Monday.
Romeo Crennel, who won three Super Bowls in four years running New England's defense in the early 200s, is finally leaving football after 52 consecutive coaching seasons including the last 41 in the NFL. Crennel had been a senior advisor for football performance for the Houston Texans.
Says Crennel's statement:
“Football has been my entire life and it’s been a dream come true to coach for 50 years,” Crennel said. “There are so many friends to thank who have helped me and supported me throughout my career.
