HOUSTON -- Longtime NFL coach Romeo Crennel announced his retirement on Monday after 50 years of coaching.
Crennel, 74, coached 39 seasons in the NFL, including as the head coach of the Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs. He also served as the Houston Texans' interim head coach in 2020.
That season, the 73-year-old Crennel became the oldest person in NFL history to serve as a head coach in a game, a record previously held by former Chicago Bears head coach/owner and NFL co-founder George Halas. Crennel finished his career with a 32-63 record as a head coach.
