This time, former defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast was left without a job.

Haley and Pendergast came to what one source called a mutual agreement that Pendergast would no longer coach for the Chiefs. Earlier in the month, after hiring Romeo Crennel as defensive coordinator, Haley said Pendergast might remain on the staff as the defensive backs coach.

Dedric Ward, who was demoted during the middle of the season as receivers coach, was fired. He will be replaced by Richie Anderson, who replaced Ward last year.

Among other staff changes, Pat Perles will go from defensive aide to assistant offensive line coach while Anthony Pleasant was hired as a defensive assistant.

The departures of Pendergast and Ward bring to five the number of last season’s coaches no longer with the Chiefs. The others are Bob Bicknell (tight ends), Tim Krumrie (assistant defensive line) and Joe D’Alessandris (assistant offensive line).

The Chiefs currently have no position coaches for the defensive linemen, defensive backs and tight ends. Gary Gibbs will return to coach the linebackers, Bill Muir the offensive line and Maurice Carthon the running backs.

In addition to the hiring of Crennel, the Chiefs signed Charlie Weis as their new offensive coordinator.
