Giants News (Sort Of): Romeo Crennel joins Chiefs

Cross one candidate off the list. Former Browns head coach and Giants assistant Romeo Crennel has agreed to join the Kansas City Chiefs as their Defensive Coordinator.
The NY Post reports: (click link for full story)
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.
To me this is not the worst news in the world, the thought of Crennel as DC wasn't all that exciting to me.
Paul Schwartz also talks about 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.
This will be a long process, just one less person to interview is all.

NY Post has been wrong before
in fact they’ve been wrong very often lately. I’d wait for others to report that before I truly believe it.
Saying that, I don’t think Crennel would have been with us anyways
Never assume skill at bouncing a ball makes you smarter than the guy who built the court.
When there's a WILL there's a WAY
Vinny DiTrani, The Palm Beach Post, and Warpaint Illustrated (Chiefs blog) are also reporting the Crennel signing.

Alright then
I heard it from other sources too, but as people below have said Paul Shwartz is a schmuck and wrong very often.

I didnt see Crennel with the Giants but expected it to be longer before he landed somewhere
Also Paul Shwartz is probably one of my least favroite beat writers and is wrong a lot
I don't need birthdays. I buy myself everything I need and because of my drinking its often a surprise
I'm not 100% sure
But i thought i seen Zimmer linked to Shannahan from their Denver days. Meaning the ’Skins would have an inside chance at him. Not that i care, but just saying!
ive been saying zimmer for a while
thats my first choice
I didn't want Crennel
there’d generally be a lot of hoopla involved with that signing lol
Jerry Reese = Omar Minaya?

Theres no way I could look at him on the sidelines
without thinking about that, so, gotta say, good luck, Romeo.

If I knew, I'd tell you

Congratulations!

Votes for Romeo
So who was your second choice??
time for some SPICE on the defense!!
You can see a lot just by observing-Yogi Berra
Miami DC
fired…
From Schefter’s twitter…
Dolphins fired defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni.
Scout.com’s Adam Caplan reports that Miami has interest in Romeo Crennel as a possible successor. The Fins were a top-ten team against the run in 2008 — Pasqualoni’s first year on the job — but fell to 18th this past season and his unit was never effective against the pass. The former Syracuse head coach may resurface on the Giants’ staff. New York is in need of a defensive coordinator, and head coach Tom Coughlin is a Syracuse alumnus. Jan. 11 – 5:59 pm et
I hope not
this defense won’t improve with a dolphins failures

It can't be worse
that BS
Ideally, Pepper comes in for an interview, throws some buckets of gatorade, kicks a few chairs, restores what a Giants D should look like around and gets Coughlin fired up
I’m all for Pepper
3-4 guy I believe
and not a very successful one at that.
I don’t mind a 3-4, as long as we get someone awesome.

A little more insight
can be found here (Syracuse Post Standard). He ran a 3-4 in Miami, but ran a 4-3 at Syracuse where he was the HC during the 90’s. He and TC have that Syracuse connection. Hes a Bill Parcells guy and was on his staff in Dallas. I doubt we hire him as our DC, but wouldnt be shocked to see him end up as a position coach.
Damn there's a lot of football knowledge in KC now...

There are a lot of ex-Pats, anyways.

Right
I forgot how successful the combo of Vrabel, Cassel, Romeo and Charlie will be
What’s the combined weight between Weis and Romeo? 700 lbs?
Hmmm..They look like they could block the Sun..and obviously their balls must not hurt.
If they even know they have any..
another reason for staying with the 4-3:
the two DTs pictured above…

Siragusa and Sam Adams?
How come China can't vote David Lee for All-Star?

Do you think Roger Goodall would let them keep their scooters?
That would be key to help them pull out and block..Maybe even clear the way for Canty to zip out there on pass coverage…He could use a bike..
I can picture it now
Eli from the shotgun, rolls to the left behind his guard (see above)
Guard runs over and flattens Albert Haynsworth – who thought that would be possible
Eli throws to a wide open Nicks for the TD
Pass protection....
By the time the line backers get around these guys they will be too tired to touch the QB.
it's too late
the rangers signed Jimbo (pictured on the left) and the sabres signed Tim (on right). The NHL will never be the same
Gabby would figure something out.

Damn...
maybe this is why the Pats took a dump this year, all the coaches and players are in KC?
Should be interesting…still think KC’s gonna stink for the next couple years.
How come China can't vote David Lee for All-Star?
They haven't dumped Pepper..and who really cares about what KC got?..We need Pepper..
And for all you Pepper doubters out there..He switched to a 4-3 from a 3-4 due to injuries midway thru the season..and they made the playoffs..Granted he wasn’t the DC but I bet he had a major role in it..

GIANTS LMAO
44-7 and that coming after the Carolina blow out and PLZ don’t forget what the SAINTS did to ya folks . The SAINTS are the team that took that 5-0 start ya had and showed the world how to put it on the undefeated giants…..you’re fans are so confused and in space , the giants really got what they had coming , Making statements about the Raiders like QUOTE : We felt like it was a scrimage game . Pro’s never make those kind of remarks ! Now , you got all destroyed and all beat up this year and early exit from everything , now , go back to telling us that NO ONE CAN BEAT THE GIANTS BECAUSE THEY WAS IN THE SUOERBOWL 2 YEARS BACK ??> Theres another remark from giants fans , how can a SB 2 years ago make you a SB team now or in the future ?> You giants fans are as bad as they come , maybe even worse then Dallas fans. Again , you was over rated after your 5-0 start , the country sees that now and your quarterback is way over rated as we all seen as well , good luck , that complete team needs to rebuild…coach and staff and players as well
wow....
there’s still Saints fans?
At least the Giants beat the Cowboys and the Bus.
Got a seat saved for ya as soon as your season comes to an end this weekend.
Giants fans are so bad…yet you’re representing Saints fans like an utter incoherent fool on a Giants blog.

I have a question
In what world would a fan base NOT, feel confident about their own team? Considering, yes, the Giants are two years removed from a SB and the #1 seed last year, plus a 5-0 start to this season? Perhaps we should’ve stopped caring and think the season was over. Makes sense, doesn’t it?
What doesn’t make sense, is how a fan of a team in the midst of the playoffs would have the time or negativity to go to another blog to moreless verbally trash them? For what reason? If you don’t like the Giants or us, fine. The door is always opened here, but if you don’t like the interior or company, remain silent and use the same door that you came in with and exit!
Its OK he's a Saints fan...

Believe it or not…this is the way they think most seasons. It actually makes sense for him.

Good point
It must be a biological clock thing? At this point of the season, they’re so used to thinking about who they can draft with their top-10 draft position! Maybe he’ll realize the Saints are still playing andhe’ll come back to let us know and rub our face in it! lol
