Giants Defense: Report: Crennel to interview with Giants
Giants Defense - TM - NYG - Jan. 7 - 5:37 pm et
Former Browns head coach Romeo Crennel is expected to be the next candidate interviewed for the Giants' vacant defensive coordinator position.
The Giants have already interviewed Perry Fewell, and they're believed to be interested in Jets LBers coach Bob Sutton and Patriots DL coach Pepper Johnson. Crennel coached the Giants' defensive line in the 1990s before taking over Bill Belichick's defense in New England for the Super Bowl runs. Jan. 7 - 5:37 pm et

[The Bad Guy]

I'll be amazed if he ends up there. Half their defense would be worthless in the 3-4

[Mr. Laz]

apparently the chiefs haven't offered him anything or at least offered him enough ... he's still looking.


i wonder if we don't get crennel whether we will look for another DC at all?

[CaliforniaChief]

Lions GM called 2-14 unacceptable. We're probably just messing around until Gunther's available.

Who knows what's happening at Fort Arrowhead?

I think BRC said on another thread that, according to his sources, it's either Crennel or back to Clancy.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

I thought Crennel was "on vacation this week."

Unless he is conducting this interview on the phone or next week...or the report he is on vacation is false.

Posted this in another thread:

Looks like we're waiting on Crennel. He's coaching the Shrine East-West game. Good chance to scout some college talent?

Kind of like ours?

[The Bad Guy]

Kind of like ours?

All the Giants have is edge rushers. We had nothing even close to that. Tuck and Osi become really worthless because Kiwi would be one OLB and Clint Sitim (SP) would be the other.

So, one day IronMan and SpiderMan were battling some evil guys and getting their asses kicked. Suddenly, out of the sky, a great big guy with long, blond hair and a huge hammer appears out of nowhere. IronMan says, "Who ith he?" While ducking another evil guy punch, SpiderMan answers, "He's Thor." To which IronMan replies, "Well, thath thad. He oughta uthe thome lubricant."

I'm sure Crennel will say he can coach the 4-3 just as well, just like Gunther said he had no problems coaching Tampa 2...

[DumbHillbillies]

Noooooo, Romeo. We'll pay you with gates bbq.

[KCrockaholic]

This would make no sense for NY... I would be very surprised if he ends up with the Giants.

[LaChapelle]

Giants are new and hip

Giants have been in contact with Crennel


We wrote earlier Thursday that there will be competition for Romeo Crennel's services as defensive coordinator.

The Giants have now made it clear they are in on the bidding. Crennel and the Giants have already spoken on the phone.

"I know they've talked," Crennel's agent Joe Linta said to the Newark Star-Ledger. "And I'm sure they weren't just calling him to say hi."

Linta could be trying to drive up Crennel's price by playing the Chiefs and Giants against each other. But Crennel, currently on vacation, is interested in setting up a meeting next week. For now, the talks have been informal.

"Let's put it this way: Romeo and the Giants are only Facebook friends right now," Linta said.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

*Side note: Would you guys take Perry Fewell. I know nothing about him...

[Micjones]

That would be a Clancy Pendergast to KC acquisition.
Crennel's a 3-4 guy all day.

Quit playing around and sign the contract already.

Apparently Crennel wants to be paid as much as Haley.

go to wpi free fourms and look under another announement it is priceless

[Reaper16]

Why in the world would the Giants want to run a Parcells tree 3-4? That's like the last defense that I would want with that defensive personnel.

The Patriots play a lot of 4 man fronts -- Just saying

[Red Dawg]

I bet we are keeping Clancy. We got Weis really quick. Romey does not have to interview with Scott. He may have already offered him the job for all we know. Apparently he will not be coming to KC and that really sucks.

[HotRoute]

Coughlin or Haley? Hmmmm let's see which one he choses

[HotRoute]

If I had to pick between weis and crennel, which might be what happened , I take weis

[Mr. Flopnuts]

apparently the chiefs haven't offered him anything or at least offered him enough ... he's still looking.

I'm really not high on Crennel. At all. But I fear the same thing, because Wade probably isn't going anywhere and he's not part of the tree anyways.

Choosing between Crennel or Pendergrast, I'd have to take Crennel. Fuck.

[Dylan]

I agree with you on Romo Crennel.

Did Belichick call the plays -- or did Crennel call the plays? The media frequently referred to them as Bill Belichick's and Romeo Crennel's defense...

How the Cowboys finish will determine if Wade stays on.

He has an excellent defensive mind. Wade is the only head coach that is also the teams defensive coordinator.

Wade would be my first choice as defensive coordinator. I'd venture a guess that he would be hired as head coach effective immediately. Sigh

[Bugeater]

My patience is wearing thin with this fat fucking prick. He ain't all that.

[Dylan]

Why in the world would the Giants want to run a Parcells tree 3-4? That's like the last defense that I would want with that defensive personnel.

The Giants legacy was the 3-4 defense. They actually started using the 3-4 before Bill Parcells was hired as head coach.

Under Steve Spagnuolo, the Giants used to incorporate a hybred 3-4 in some of their defensive schemes -- That is, until Bill Sheridan was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2009.

I agree with many of those who said the Giants do not have the personnel to run a successful 3-4. One of the biggest challenges would be at the lone nose tackle position. However, it is easier to fix up a defense than it is to fix up an offense. It is harder to find a quarterback, offensive line and receivers than it is to find players that can play defense.

According to John Mara the entire organization will be evaluated from top to bottom. It makes you wonder how safe is Coughlin once the playoffs end.

Just my opinion.

Romeo Crennel a Giant hopeful
Friday, January 8, 2010
BY VINNY DITRANI

Former Giants assistant and Cleveland head coach Romeo Crennel has emerged as perhaps the leading candidate to replace Bill Sheridan as Giants defensive coordinator.

Crennel and Tom Coughlin were on Bill Parcells’ Giants staff from 1988 through 1990, and Coughlin always has expressed great respect for his former cohort.

Meanwhile, former Bills coach Perry Fewell interviewed with Coughlin on Thursday and will talk to the Chicago Bears about their defensive coordinator position next week.

Crennel, 62, returns from a vacation in Aruba on Monday, but the Giants already have contacted him several times. They could receive competition for Crennel’s services from Kansas City, where another former Bill Belichick lieutenant, Charlie Weis, is signing on as offensive coordinator; and from an unidentified team that is contemplating a change in defensive direction.

Crennel always has been a 3-4 coach. If he cannot adjust to the 4-3 scheme, that would bring up a huge question: How can a Giants team with barely one linebacker suddenly discover four?

It would take some major maneuvering, such as Mathias Kiwanuka to weak-side outside linebacker and Clint Sintim to weak-side inside ’backer, just to field a team. Chris Canty would be the only one to prosper immediately by moving back to his 3-4 defensive end spot. There really would be no spot for Osi Umenyiora, except possibly in pass-rush situations.

In other news, Sheridan will interview in Miami for the linebackers job. And director of college scouting Marc Ross will interview in Seattle for the general manager position.

no 3-4 dline?

Rocky Bernard 6-3 308
Chris Canty 6-7 304
Barry Cofield 6-4 306
Fred Robbins 6-4 317
Jay Alford 6-3 304
Anthony Bryant 6-3 337


want rushing outside linebackers?

Mathias Kiwanuka 6-5 265
Justin Tuck 6-5 274
Osi Umenyiora 6-3 261


looks much better than kansas citys 3-4 front 7

[TigerPig]

The deal is done. Crennel was spotted purchasing a Crane so he could get in and out of his third story loft on the upper east side.

I don't know the Giants hardly at all. Who would play the NT position?

Canty is a 3-4 DE. Bernard is getting cut this off-season. Fred Robbins is not a run plugging NT.

Osi would get eaten alive at OLB. He doesn't look the same since his knee injury. I think Kiwi can do it based on his shift to linebacker a few years ago.

It does look better than our front, but let's be honest here, the defensive front from the movie Little Giants looks better than ours.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

...I am betting he lands in NY.

Hope I am wrong.

Just don't want to watch Clancy's D another year.

[HemiEd]

Can you just jump off a ****ing cliff already? No one gives a **** here about that koolaid man, you or WIPE.

I changed his colors.

[Ralphy Boy]

I don't know the Giants hardly at all. Who would play the NT position?

uh I'm guessing the fat fugger that weighs in at 337 lbs.

[Cannibal]

He probably doesn't want to live the mid west, KC specifically.

I wouldn't be shocked. He and Coughlin are apparently good buddies and both obviously Parcells guys...
