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.

Big Red Chief thinks it's going to happen, so I'm going to assume that it's going to happen.

All this "lead the trend don't follow it" stuff makes me laugh.

Who gives a shit if NE is going to back to a 40 front? The Steelers won the SB last year with a 3-4. The scheme isn't as important as the players in it.

The team they played AZ also played a hybrid 3-4. And the defense played well in the playoffs and SB for the most part.

you're pissing in the wind


this is one of a couple confused arguments popular around here for inexplicable reasons.....

you can't pick at the assumptions behind it for more than a second without it crumbling to dust....but it is considered "intellectual" and frequently wielded by "intellectuals"....

[Micjones]

Doesn't know what to do with all of this good news...
Weis AND Crennel in Kansas City?
Somebody slap me!

[Hootie]

Jesus.

I wish Hamas and OTWP would take a break again...

We hire two of the most qualified assistants on the market and all they can do is rant about how stupid Pioli is...

Haley isn't qualified enough, Pioli doesn't know squat, Weis weighs too much, Crennel never coached anything he just road Belichick's coattails...

on and on and on and on

We get it...you guys hate Pioli...we know, we get it...

Go soil some other NFL board...or go be Falcons fans...you seem to sure like that GM an awful lot.

Last I checked, less than half the league ran the 3-4. Your shot at landing the type of player you're looking for is about the same as it is in the 4-3.

I like the acquisition of Weis more than potentially adding Crennel as well.

I was never impressed with his defenses in Cleveland, and his work in New England is marred by the fact that Belichick was the true architect there. And I don't know that the traditional two-gap 3-4 system that he runs is really the way to go in todays NFL.

Belichick didn't hire any coaches he'd known?

[MMXcalibur]

Having Weis and (possibly) Crennel on our staff is a positive sign and a recent poll shows the majority of ChiefsPlanet welcomes it....but leave it to a small handful on ChiefsPlanet to find some reason to bitch about it. Not surprisingly, it's the same users time after time that are the culprits.....
