Giants' candidate Crennel joins Chiefs

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.

Funny, considering a caller to Pat Kirwan's show on Sirius the other day asked a very similar question, and was given the same answer.

The casual fan has no idea how hard the job is, and how many hours are put in.

Guys sitting on 8 figure bank accounts from their playing days aren't going to be willing to put in the time/effort needed to earn a few hundred thousand dollars a year.

Guys like Singletary who accomplish what they do are driven way beyond what the casual fan can understand. They thrive on the game and that is why they put in the time and effort.

Yep. That's what I was talking about.
And Maybe Dane is right.
But this is all in reference to my statement saying that the tone would be different in person. Like I said. I'm a bartender on Sundays, and not even drunk people "discuss" football topics with each other in such a disrespectful manner, because if they did, they would probably be picking brown glass out of their scalp. Only pussies use a non personal platform to insult other people's opinions.

You need to re-read the posts in question.

Good thing we knew what Carl peterson was after his first 12 months as a GM... we should give him a 20 year extension ... er wait...

What gives you confidence that Scott Pioli, the GM of the Kansas City Chiefs, can pick the players that this team needs in order to succeed and win in the playoffs?

What about his track record as a general manager leads you to believe that he will do this?

There is as much proof that he can as there is that he can't.

If your opinions are thought out and researched, why the hell are you so wrong all of the time?

Dane, and Kirwan are 100% correct.

Now regarding the tone used, I tend to agree with you.

Personally, unless the person in question has shown time and again to be an idiot, I TRY (and am trying to get better) to show some restraint.

Dear, Hamas,

No amount of bitching, crying, getting angry about the Chiefs FO will change anything. So some people (as it is in human nature to do when one has no control whatsoever on the outcome) chose to simply hope that things will get better under the new regime. It's probably much healthier than getting pissed at poster for saying silly things or believing in rainbows and unicorns.

Pretty much, what I'm saying is don't belittle people for being optimistic about something neither you or they can control, no matter how stupid it is in your opinion.

Well I can't say that because it's his first year on the job.

But as a previous memebr of the Pats organization and playing an integral role in building those championship teams, I believe he knows what it takes or has some sort of idea on how to put together a winning team.

Feel free to elaborate on that.

Please list the positives and negatives of Pioli's first year as the GM of the Chiefs.

Maybe this is your initiation?

You're about a page behind in this conversation.

I constructed a false binary, placed you into it, and you immediately got defensive. Why you're going back to your initial comments about OTW and Dane is a bit of mystery.

The way you've been acting with this 4H shit has been indicative of some insecure bullshit lately.

If you think someone's wrong, debate the point. Make a stronger argument. Instead, you've gone 4H, which is little more than an extension of Hootie's "drafterbators."

****, man, don't go full Pioli. Bring some original trash to the table if you're going to sling it.

(I'd like to thank the Four Horsemen for writing this post and allowing me to use it.)

Uh, yeah, you can.

You'd be smart to choose not to, because his "accomplishments" don't paint him in a positive light.

FAX, the following questions

1) Who said anything about leadership? Furthermore, how has Todd Haley demonstrated leadership? Is mother****ing players and flipping off fans leadership just because it's tough? At what point does that mutate to a loss of control?

2) That's a complete dodge. I said nothing about the team doing a 180. What I'm looking for are signs that the barge is being slowly turned around. I see it from a few players, but from none of the sacred cows of the new regime. How does that inspire confidence?

3) Where was this "rookie" excuse when people thought we would challenge for .500 based on coaching and Pioli alone last year? Why are the goalposts now being moved?

4)FAX, other than fat camp, what makes you think that this team is any more disciplined than past teams? On the field they displayed a lot less discipline than past years, and so did the coach, who couldn't even restrain himself from telling a paying customer to **** off.

That's discipline?

Ok.
