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.

You completely missed the point.

Yeah Deez. I'm reeling from the idea that you're making some cyber point about me making an assumption. AFTER I acknowledged that I did so and apologized.

You're handing me my ass now.

Forget their overall behavior here. That doesn't inform my opinion.

Now go rinse your mouth out. Your breath smells like Dane.

these guys are just dicks and they enjoy being dicks for various reasons.

okay, sorry. Maybe I should have been more specific. Bitching is in our nature as humans. But, the "level of bitching", uh huh thats the right thing to add, okay you can claim to be a bitch but you're nowhere near the level of the 4 horsemen....LOL

Some cyber point?

You walk into yourself, sometimes. Too funny, but continue to deflect. And we WERE NOT talking about post #621. Get your pants on the way out.

I've asked this question before, and it's never been answered.

What gives you confidence that Scott Pioli, the GM of the Kansas City Chiefs, can pick the players that this team needs in order to succeed and win in the playoffs?

What about his track record as a general manager leads you to believe that he will do this?

Honestly, I don't recall you ever taking it to the level that Dane does, but I do bartend in a sportsbar, on Sundays, and know that people don't "discuss" football the way some around here do.

Are you talking about this?

The idea that ANY Free Agency era player that earned in excess of $10 million dollars per year in the course of their career would want to put in 100 hours a week as a position coach is LUDICROUS.

USE YOUR BRAIN, PEOPLE.

Funny, considering a caller to Pat Kirwan's show on Sirius the other day asked a very similar question, and was given the same answer.

The casual fan has no idea how hard the job is, and how many hours are put in.

Guys sitting on 8 figure bank accounts from their playing days aren't going to be willing to put in the time/effort needed to earn a few hundred thousand dollars a year.

So all track records are suppose to be off a small sample size of "one year"? Wow, talk about a dead end job!

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?

Dude. For crying out loud ... go get some panties that fit. You're scaring the neighbors.

I'm not really merging or combining or confusing the concepts of wins or strides or anything else. Actually, I'm not sure what that has to do with anything ... anyhow ...

Every person you mention is part of the problem. Not part of the solution. Are you Google converting my nice, English posts into Swahili or something? Let me try once again ... try to remain calm ...

1) Leadership is very important in any enterprise. As a person interested in history, you should know this ... the Army figured it out a long time ago.

2) The team was and is bad ... very bad. Again, you cannot turn a team like this around in a brief time. There are problems everywhere and, because football is a team game, those problems affect every other individual player's performance.

3) Pioli and Haley are rookies in their roles. It will take time for them to acclimate, organize, and implement their plans. Rightly or wrongly, it is too early to tell whether or not they are taking us in the best direction.

4) This team was undisciplined. As a fan of the Chiefs, I'm pleased to see Haley bring that needed discipline to the franchise. And, it was sorely needed. It is this kind of foundation that, if Haley is successful, will serve us well in future.

There's much more I could say, but in short (and I don't want to repeat this again), it's far too early to tell whether or not Pioli and Haley are going to win at Kansas City. Their goals are well-stated; they want to build a team that competes year in and year out for the playoffs and the Super Bowl. That means it won't be difficult to tell if they've failed or not. In the meantime, it's just silly to second guess someone who is stirring a giant pile of turds with a stick.

Since he has only been a general manager for 12 months its hard to point out his history, when its not very long...

Again, congratulations for riding one of the very few assumptions about posters I ever make here. Maybe if I apologize again, throw in "Hail Mary" a half-dozen times and start kissing your ass I'll have done penance. Or I could just get on with my day.


Maybe this is your initiation?
