Giants' candidate Crennel joins Chiefs

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.

KC never has real press conferences. When Cassel was signed didn't they just hold up a picture of him with cut out lips and have Gailey stand behind it and lip synch the telephone call?

Crennel, Fewell not off Giants' radar

By PAUL SCHWARTZ

Last Updated: 9:49 AM, January 12, 2010
It may indeed come down to Perry Fewell and Romeo Crennel spurning the Giants for other openings, leaving Tom Coughlin to continue his search for a new defensive coordinator. But those two candidates aren't out of the picture just yet.

Despite reports that Crennel had agreed to run the defense in Kansas City and Fewell agreed to do the same in Chicago, neither as of last night had signed contracts.

Crennel, the former Browns head coach and once a Giants assistant under Bill Parcells on the same staff as Coughlin, has not yet interviewed with Coughlin, but they may speak today or tomorrow. It remains likely Crennel will end up with the Chiefs, where he'd be reunited with part of the old New England crew, just-hired offensive coordinator Charlie Weis and general manager Scott Pioli. Crennel is also talking with other teams.

There are signs that one candidate Coughlin has already interviewed for the vacant defensive coordinator position will accept that role elsewhere. Fewell yesterday was in Chicago to speak with head coach Lovie Smith about the Bears defensive coordinator job. Fewell is considered the frontrunner, but he left Chicago without a deal.

Fewell ran the Bills defense the past four years and in November took over for fired Dick Jauron as Buffalo's interim head coach. Fewell was Coughlin's defensive backs coach with the Jaguars and worked in St. Louis and Chicago on the same staff as Smith.

Another name to arise is Jim Haslett. The Giants recently reached out to him. Haslett, former head coach of the Saints (where in 2000 he won Coach of the Year honors) and Rams and most recently the coach of the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League, would be a big-name hire and would certainly command top dollars.

Another interesting possibility: Mike Zimmer. His coordinator contract will soon expire with the Bengals and he may attract some interest around the league as a potential head-coaching candidate, but it's more likely he'll re-up in Cincinnati.

Paul Pasqualoni yesterday was fired as the Dolphins defensive coordinator. He and Coughlin share a common thread -- both coached at Syracuse -- but it's unlikely that's enough to consider Pasqualoni a contender for the Giants' job. Pasqualoni could be a possibility for linebackers coach if Coughlin decides to dismiss Jim Herrmann, who was brought in last season by former coordinator Bill Sheridan. Al Groh, the former Virginia head coach, worked with Coughlin on Parcells' Giants staff and is available, but Groh is likely to go to Georgia Tech to run the Yellow Jackets defense.

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

Romeo has agreed. It's a done deal. He's not going back on his word to a friend to join the Giants.

So what? Is this guy still holding out hope? The deal is done.(tm)

Chiefnj2 · 01-12-2010, 09:57 AM

Bad news. Crennel and his agent showed up to sign the paperwork, Pioli accidentally cursed and Crennel walked out. Pioli shouted for him to

and STFD. Oh wait, wrong GM, sorry.

How many coaches have won Super Bowls at more than one place?

How many GMS have won Super Bowls at more than one place?

Successful coaches and GM's don't move much, but it you look at this from bloodlines the number is high.

I like the Parcells bloodline.

FYP

Pioli cursed because he soon realized he doesn't have enough food to feed the crew

Pioli: "Sh*t! Forgot to buy the hotdogs and hamburgers, and and and the french fries, damn!!! Sh*t I gotta buy the buns and pop too!"

Romeo: "Don't worry about it Scott."

Pioli: "You know Romeo, I figured now that I hired you and Charlie, I needed to add some refreshments to this occasion, its great to have you guys back and to be working together again."

Romeo: "lol...Pleasure Scott..But you know that both Charlie and I love the BBQ here in Kansas City right?"

Pioli: "Oh yes, Im aware of that. What am I going to do to help serve you guys? ah wait I got a solution?...the vending machine! whew thank goodness! WTF?!?! It's empty! It's empty! YOU MEAN TO BE TELLING ME YOU GUYS ATE ALL THAT ****N FOOD?!?!"

Romeo: "Scott I was a little bit hungry."

Pioli: "Are you still hungry?"

Romeo: "Nope."

Pioli: "You're lying. Why do I hear your stomach growling?"

Romeo: "Oh Scott, you know the food in the vending machine were just light snacks. I'll be eating again in another couple of hours."

Pioli: "Sh*t Romeo. Now you're really making me feel guilty after all? I knew I should have brought more food!"

Romeo: "LOL..Thats ok Scott don't feel so guilty. You know there are a few buffets down the road here, you know Charlie and I will there for lunch right? Lets just focus and concentrate on signing the dotted line for now. I need money for lunch."

Pioli: "Money for lunch?"

Romeo: "Well, you know, not just for lunch, but, you know, there has to be enough BBQ for Charlie, myself and the fans on Sunday, and the restaurants here can't go out of business either? My agent wouldn't be asking for millions for nothing?"

Pioli: "Aha...I see! It's done deal Romeo! Welcome back!"

So you would consider Marty's time in KC a failure? Or Marv Levey's time in Buffalo a failure? Andy Reid in Philly?

what you keep doing is changing the criteria so somehow your argument works. It doesn't.

The fact is this team just needs to learn how to win again, then think about GETTING into the postseason. Bringing in guys that served in the SAME CAPACITY for a SB dynasty in this same decade really isn't a bad idea in any way, shape, or form.

**DeezNutz** · 01-12-2010, 10:27 AM

Marty: Failure.
Levy: Ultimately, failure. But I'd gladly take 4 straight SB appearances. So NOT a failure in my book
Reid: Shouldn't be on this list. HC for only one franchise.

Mr. Laz · 01-12-2010, 10:29 AM

i don't know how much success that weis/crennel are going to have in KC ... nobody does. Players and coaches often have success one place and not another.

but to bitch about the Chiefs hiring 2 coaches whom are viable quality coaches, who both sport super bowl rings btw, is just stupid.

a certain group is just bitching to be bitching

i think they like the attention tbh.
