Giants' candidate Crennel joins Chiefs

6:28 PM, January 11, 2010 ι By PAUL SCHWARTZ
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.

I'd LOVE for the Chiefs to hire some progressive up and coming guys from college. Its just not gonna happen. Unfortunately, we're stuck with this. Wash, rinse, repeat...

Who would those up and coming guys from college be?

And do you want a complete NFL rebuild job (which the Chiefs are at this point) to be handled by some unproven kid that's no older than the players?

Besides the fact that the transition from the college ranks to the pro ranks is usually a hard road. It always seems to work out better to get a guy that has been associated with the pro game versus some college coordinator somewhere.

No, I think for this situation, I'd like to have the young and up and coming coach, which we now have, surrounded by experienced coordinators that the players can trust and look to in terms of understanding and experience in what it takes to get to the top in this league.

If your balls are in a vice over this, what exactly would you suggest?

Should we just toss Haley and Pioli since they've known eachother a while now too? I'm sure we could get Matt Millen and Jim Zorn in here, I don't think they've worked together. Then we should hire the OC of Boise State (to design Zorn's trick plays), and then get our DC from a Korean soccer outfit (we'll play zero down lineman, its a new 7-4 look). Also, no one has neon blue uni's....we should look into those too.

I guarantee no one in the NFL has tried this combination and it's sure to be better than this experienced, accredited "good ol boys" crap.

We'll take the league by storm!

Right, so ignoring the fact that you're being asshole enough to demand a Super Bowl victory as proof of success, and ignoring that Parcells record on his own is irrelevant to your question, and ignoring that the Parcells/Belichick example undercuts your idiotic complaint....

Ignoring all that, you still have no real point at all.

I'd like to see us take a look at Reggie Herring. He has experience in a 3-4 and 4-3 defense. Also Mike Pettine of the Jets or our own Greg Manusky.

The worst part is that Pendergast is pretty good at setting up blitzes. The problem is he's bad with timing them. I mean, Arizona is one of the hardest teams to read now blitz-wise, and Pendergast was a huge part of putting that defense together. And teams that blitz well screw up an offense so much. Just look what Dallas did to Philly last week.

Yeah, like when Vermeil told the fans to

about Greg Robinson b/c he knew more than anyone else b/c he had two SB rings.

So the point of playing in the NFL is to lose the Super Bowl.

Got it.

Must be why so many Chiefs fans talk about 1966 instead of 1969.

Glen Dorsey is not a 3-technique Warren Sapp type player. Just because they are built the same doesn't mean anything. you keep saying this. I watched every game he played at when he was at LSU and I never understood the Sapp comparisons. He's not as explosive and never has been. He is not a 4-3 under-tackle guy. There is a reason he had a really solid season this year.

Passing judgement on coaches with superbowl experience because of a sour experience with your own team...?

I know that you keep saying that, and I disagree because I watched him play in college, I read the scouting reports, and I know what he's capable of.

The reason why he played well this year is because he's a phenomenally talented football player, and like Derrick Thomas, can be put in a scheme that minimizes his talents (a la, the Falcon) and still get results.

(I fully expect the reeruns on this board to now claim that I've said that Thomas=Dorsey)
