Bill Belichick Romeo Crennel to make NFL history in Week 11 as oldest coaching head-to-head ever

Just because Bill O'Brien is no longer manning the Houston sideline, Michael Fulmer Jersey doesn't mean that the connections between the and have subsided. Taking O'Brien's place as the interim head coach after he was fired earlier this season has been longtime coordinator Romeo Crennel, who served on Bill Belichick's staff in New England as the defensive coordinator for the franchise's first three Super Bowl titles. Not only does Sunday's head Kirk Gibson Jersey -to-head between the Patriots and Texans set up that reunion between the two coaches, but they'll also make a little NFL history in the proce s.When Crennel was officially named the interim head coach for the Texans, he not only a sumed the title as the oldest head coach in the league today, but he's also the oldest head coach in NFL history at 73 years old.When he and Belichick, 68, Daniel Norris Jersey square up on Sunday down in Houston, it will be the oldest head coaching matchup in league history, with the two of them having a combined age of 141. This matchup will break the record that Belichick was a part of earlier this season when he and Pete Carrol, 69, duked it out in Week 2 in Seattle. At that time, their combined age of 137 was the league record, breaking the mark set by Marv Al Kaline Jersey Levy, 70, and Don Shula, 65, back in 1995.While Belichick may not exactly be thrilled by his name being next to this piece of NFL history, there's a chance that he won't have it there for very long. There's of Crennel and making him the head coach heading into 2021. If that's the case, the Texans are slated to face the at some point next season, thus setting up a matchup between Willie Horton Jersey Crennel and Carroll that would break this record that is set to hit this Sunday.
