Crennel to KC; Time to re-Fewell? »
By Ralph Vacchiano
Romeo Crennel put the Giants on hold today as he attempts to work out details on a deal with the Kansas City Chiefs. And that could leave the Giants with only one remaining option: Convincing Perry Fewell to say “No” to the Chicago Bears.
Crennel is “giving K.C. the first shot,” his agent, Joe Linta, said this afternoon. The Chiefs were always the 62-year-old defensive whiz’s first choice, and he told the Giants that when they contacted him on vacation last week. He told them again last night before he officially started negotiating a contract to become the Chiefs’ next defensive coordinator.
There were two reasons for that, according to a source familiar with his thinking. One was because of his long-time relationship with Chiefs GM (and former Patriots GM) Scott Pioli. And the other was because of the demanding nature of Tom Coughlin and the long hours he requires of all his assistant coaches.
That is now something that Fewell has to decide if he’s interested in, because it’s starting to look like he’s the top choice - - and, maybe, the only remaining legitimate candidate - - for the job. Jim Haslett, whom the Giants reached out to over the weekend, appears to be headed to Washington to become Mike Shanahan’s defensive coordinator. And Mike Zimmer, another long-shot possibility, signed a new deal to stay on as the defensive coordinator in Cincinnati.
That leaves Fewell, the only man known to have interviewed for the Giants’ job. He also interviewed with the Bears on Monday and then returned home to consider his options. According to his agent, he did not receive an offer from either team. However, according to one source familiar with the situation, he believes he will get an offer from one or both teams as soon as he lets them know if he’s interested.
When will that be? Maybe not until tomorrow. But stay tuned.
