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.

No, it's a pretty clear statement.

This. There are no longer any original ideas in this league. Its all copycat. It worked before, lets try it again. It may fail. It may work to perfection. Who knows? I'm glad Haley's head isn't to big to the point he wouldn't hire an OC. These guys have been successful as coordinators in the past. I really hope with the CW hire, Haley can concentrate on his job and cut back on his stupid in-game decisions.

it sure won't hurt

it will also help the Haley ranting crap that won't be appealing to FA's

now there is a well known buffer between haley and the players

Wow. What a day if this is true. Which it probably is because it's coming from Shefter. I'm excited!

Spoken like a true Chiefs fan.

"Let's try the WCO"
"Let's try Air Coryell"
"Let's try the Tampa 2"
"Let try the 3-4".

There is none. Doesn't mean you can't try. Their recipe for success worked. A lot of luck involved in NE though. As I've said before, I really wish the Chiefs could find their own way instead of copying everyone else.

Those are two huge upgrades, and the subtraction of Krumrie makes this a pretty exciting time. Add that to the fact that in the last year this team got rid of Herm and Gunther, things are really looking up.

You hire the best guys for the job. Period.

What you're suggesting is that they shouldn't hire a guy, regardless of how successful he's been at his job, because they've worked with him before, because they have a track record. Which is your perogative. But, again, I say you hire the best guy for the job. They've apparently decided that's Crennel. Decided that a year ago, probably.

If your only criteria for hiring a guy is "he can't have worked with NE, or Arizona, or Parcells, or whoever", then I fail to see how that's realistically any different than hiring a guy because he has. You're not looking at his merit as an individual candidate.

The entire league does this. The NFL IS a copycat league.

Because the guys that you've worked with in the past are axiomatically the best guy for the job in every case, and NFL history clearly points this out, based on how well the good ole boy network works when relocated without the exact same talent in place.
