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.

Yes you are correct.

I actually think he has much more to add than the horsemen do, but that doesn't mean he doesn't throw in a "Yeah" on a pretty consistent basis.

I make smartass one-liners in pretty much every thread I've ever been in during my time on this site. Same thing I do if I'm sitting around shooting the shit with my friends in real life.

But I'd like to think that I make enough substantive posts that I stand on my own two feet around here, or otherwise. As always, folks are welcome to disagree. That's life.

JWhit is right about everything he said about Dorsey. I thought he was supposed to be the centerpiece around the DLine? "Supposively" supposed to be that difference maker?

Yeah

Not even close.

Who said that?

So, the fact that serious concerns are already being raised about the QBOTF for this franchise from the biggest of homers is not enough to even suggest that the FO may have failed in its first year?

Furthermore, you seem to be conflating strides with "wins".

Mike Brown doesn't help this team make strides by stubbornly starting him when he's costing the team games.

Mike Vrabel doesn't help this team make strides when he continues to start and get decimated every week.

Mike Goff and Rudy Niswanger don't help this team "make strides" when they are veterans with no upside.

At what point does "leadership" become less important than losing games because of poor tackles, or putting points on the other team's board because you can't execute a shotgun snap to a quarterback?

Directly mocking mic's schtick lately when he's entered some threads.

"Let me guess..."

And then proceeds to paint with a broad brush. Whatever.

Good thing my commentary suggests anything but.
What were you saying about being a hypocrite earlier?

Thank you Fax.

What? You don't like it when someone constructs a false binary and lumps you into it?

That's hilarious. Why don't you find ONE other thread I have followed Mic in before today in the last 3 months.

Go ahead. That will be funny.

I'll bet i could probably find a thread with you juggling horsemen balls everday for the last 3 months.

God forbid the idea that I read several pages to get an overall idea of what's been said.
