One-time Giants assistant and former Browns head coach Romeo Crennel will not be the new Giants defensive coordinator. Crennel has been hired to run the Chiefs defense.

Crenell never interviewed with Tom Coughlin but the Giants did express some interest.

One candidate Coughlin has already interviewed, former Bills head coach Perry Fewell, was in Chicago to speak with head coach Lovie Smith about the Bears defensive coordinator job. Fewell is considered the front-runner.

Fewell, once Coughlin's defensive backs coach with the Jaguars, met last Thursday with Coughlin with the understanding he was in the running for the Bears defensive coordinator job. Fewell worked in St. Louis and Chicago for Smith and it appears the two will work together again.

Another interesting possibility: Mike Zimmer. His contract will soon expire with the Bengals. Zimmer successfully ran the defenses for the Cowboys and Falcons and did a solid job this season in Cincinnati. Zimmer may attract some interest around the league as a potential head-coaching candidate.

Tom Cable is expected to be fired as head coach of the Raiders and if he is, Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride is again likely to get an interview. Gilbride last year interviewed for the job.

Not a god damned thing. You just want something to bitch about.

Actually it does. All the aforementioned people imported all of their good old boys else where and failed.

It's not my fault you're too ****ing dumb to learn anything from history.

You are seriously trying to say Romeo and Charlie aren't goood coordinators?

That's laughable.

[InChiefsHeaven]

People bitch about the Chiefs not going out and getting top tier talent...then we get 2 Coordinators with 3 fuggin' rings each and THAT'S not good enough.

...some Chiefs fans are pissing me off as much as the Chiefs do...

All you have to do now is fork out bonus money.

It's not a myth. The 49ers had a shitload of money invested on offense in guys like Steve Young, Harris Barton, Jerry Rice, and Ricky Watters. They had a poor defense and Policy decided to spend all their money on Tim McDonald, Ken Norton, Deion Sanders, Gary Plummer. The NFL was ruled by the two biggest spenders for years: the Cowboys and the 49ers. The Patriots and Colts made their living in the post-cap era in keeping expensive foundational players, but being very liberal about keeping a lot of players on the cheap. The Cowboys and 49ers were built purely by stacking their roster with talent all across the board.

Those teams built a heavy roster and maintained it. It's not like the post-cap era, where most teams peaked and then underwent a brief crash as their cap started to bust.

It's an entirely, entirely different game. Few teams in recent days have won through stocking the cupboard with free agents, and most teams can only afford to keep so many second-contract players.

The cap has always been a red herring.

Teams didn't spend exorbitant amounts before the cap, and the teams that spend a lot now do so because they fork over bonus money, which only counts 1/6th against the cap.

Dirk, that proves my point, it doesn't refute it.

Nevermind I misunderstood your point.

That's your argument? Didn't work for them then so it can't work now. Awsome.

The thing you haven't faced one time here, is that in all of those scenarios shit just wasn't the same. No matter how much you want to jump around and have a mini melt down, it wasn't.

Hey wanna tell me about who was Tom Coughlins offensive coordinator in Jax from 95 to 96 and where that guy might be at now?

We can do this all day from the winning side too if you want to.

Yup. This place has gone full reerun. People are starting to bitch simply for the point of bitching.

[Micjones]

The Crennel hiring looks to be imminent and let me guess...
Members of 4H are bitching about it? Did I get that about right?

Okay, as you were boys.

[ForeverChiefs58]

The Chiefs just got better! So far 2010 the team has shown improvment on the field and with the coaching staff! Hip hip horray!

[Bill Lundberg]

Without reading through all of the bickering back and forth, I think the thing we fans need to keep in perspective is that Coaches can only do so much. It comes down to the players on the field. Until we upgrade our talent it's foolish to expect a coach to make a big difference.

And what about the long history of coordinators like Gregg Williams, Mike Nolan, Dick Lebeau, Norv Turner, Wade Phillips that have been outstanding across systems. Or the long-tenured coordinators like (formerly) Monte Kiffin and Jim Johnson who have built outstanding defenses across time.

I don't understand the examples you bring up. It's not like Carmen Policy tried to reinvent the 49ers with the Browns. Far from it. And Jimmy Johnson is a coach who maybe, just maybe, benefitted off of having the best offensive line in the history of football to pave the way for three HOFers (Irvin, Emmitt, and Aikman). Those are two select examples. And they're not even real good ones. They're examples of non-coordinators trying to build an outstanding team in the post-cap era.

The argument doesn't apply to coordinators.

Coaching alone will win us an additional 3-4 games next year. /last spring/

Better playcalling would've helped this team this year, but I tend to agree.
The Chiefs won't stop with the addition of these two gents.
There will be player upgrades as well.
