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.

I think just like the hiring of Pioli, and Haley, and Weis everything is going to get real quite before they announce it.

The Weis hire wasn't a quiet one.

Report: Crennel poised to join Chiefs

Posted by Mike Florio on January 11, 2010 4:59 PM ET
Five years after Pats coach Bill Belichick did a sideline group hug with offensive coordinator Charlie Weis and defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel at Super Bowl XXXIX, the men who left the nest feathered with three Lombardi Trophies are getting together again.

According to Vinny DiTrani of NorthJersey.com, Crennel is expected to return from a year off and pick the Chiefs over the Giants.

After the 2004 season, Weis became the head coach at Notre Dame and Crennel was hired by the Browns.

In Kansas City, they rejoin former Pats V.P. of player personnel Scott Pioli, who became the G.M. of the Chiefs a year ago.

Though some thought Weis would return to New England, the Chiefs have a greater need for his services. Pats quarterback Tom Brady is established; he's essentially operating as a co-offensive coordinator. In Kansas City, Matt Cassel is still developing and Weis, who left roughly three months before Cassel was drafted, will get a chance to do with Cassel what Weis helped do with Brady -- with the same offense.

Under Crennel, the Chiefs will continue to use the 3-4 defense; the challenge will be to continue to get the right personnel for it, given that the team previously used a 4-3 alignment.

What do you think Florio does? He just reposts links from local beat writers and other sources.
