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.

Fantastic news. Thanks BRC!!!

Hopefully we'll have a good draft with no picks. With the schedule we have anything is possible...

I know thats BS. I know they had talked to Crennel and offered him the job before that. How can you offer a guy a job and not attach a # to the offer?

Reminder...The press conference and "the deal is done" was from two different sources and neither one was "the source". So lets grain of salt this info.

For me, I want to see consistency, starting with how the FO performs this off-season and then extending to Sundays in the regular season.

I wouldn't like seeing them start poorly, but I would like to see a strong end to the season. Kind of like the Broncos game, but 6 weeks or 2 months of that, rather than a single inexplicable week. Because I think teams that turn-around tend to have a spring-board like that into their first real contending season. If I don't see that in 2010, then it will be a sign to me that they're still another year away. And I didn't see that in 2009, obviously, so I'm trying to temper my enthusiasm for 2010 (.500 range has been my 2010 expectation since the Pioli hire was made...)

All I hope for early in the year is that one side of the ball is "fixed" and the other is showing signs of life. I don't think this team is going to be a world-beater in 2010 regardless of who they pickup in the offseason, but they should be more competitive and they should (in a perfect world) be a team nobody wants to play late in the year.

Then again, on paper at least it's an advantageous schedule, so who knows what will happen.

I'm sorry, but if we go D in rounds one and two (with one of the picks in the latter) and we're not VASTLY improved on that side of the ball, I'm going to start clowning our newest head fat man.

That's the side of the ball I expect to be fixed.

The offense, however, is still going to have to score points for the team to win games, and I'm (once again) not sure what it's going to look like early in the year.

We need to be a team who appears "in the playoff picture" but falls short.

This is my minimum. Anything else is a failure.

Oh, and I expect a superb ****ing draft.

I see you and I are on the exact same page.

Gibbs is staying. They might hire a DL coach, but what I heard was that Romeo will coach the DL. Clancy and Bradford are the secondary coaches.

If second-half Charles wasn't a fluke, if that's the level of play he can sustain, there's absolutely no excuse for the offense NOT to be competent, at least.

This assumes that we acquire one more weapon, probably a WR.

I'm skeptical as to whether or not Charles can actually perform as an "every down" back. I worry about his shoulder. He's not a very big guy and he's going to take some big hits now that the league is aware of his abilities.

We need somebody else to take some snaps.
