Chiefs offensive coordinator Muir retires

Football Betting Lines

02/01/2012 - Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Bill Muir has retired, the team announced Wednesday.

Muir was named the Chiefs offensive coordinator prior to last season after spending the previous two years as the team's offensive line coach.

He coached a unit that ranked 31st in points (13.2) and 27th in yards (310.8) after losing starting running back Jamaal Charles to an ACL injury early in the season and using three separate quarterbacks.

"It has been an honor to be a part of this great league for so long," said Muir. "Over the years I've made a lot of great friends and worked with many talented players and coaches. This was a personal decision for me, the timing was right."

Muir had coached in the NFL for 34 years. Before joining Kansas City in 2009, he spent seven seasons as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach with the Buccaneers, helping Tampa Bay to the Super Bowl title after the 2002 season.

In addition, Muir was the offensive line coach with the New York Jets from 1995-2001 and has also been an NFL assistant with Philadelphia (1992-94), Indianapolis (1989-91), Detroit (1985-88) and New England (1982-84), while also working as a scout with Tampa Bay from 1978-81.

"I am excited for Bill as he moves into retirement," Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel said. "I have known him for a long time and he is one of the finest coaches I've ever been around and an even better person. Bill is a very good friend and I have a great deal of respect for the way he worked. It was a privilege to work alongside him."

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
