Don't tease me, you know what I do for a living.
I've read/heard the name of Pepper Johnson as a possible candidate for defensive coordinator. That would definitely be in the Steve Spanguolo mold, and we know Johnson has the pedigree, both with "Giants Pride" and from his apprenticeship with Belicheck.
I don't know enough about what his coaching style is, or if he's prepared to take such a jump.

All indications were that Pepper would be very interested.
As for coaching style, your guess is as good as mine.
Hadn't heard his name in the mix before.Adam_Schefter Giants have approached Jim Haslett about their defensive coordinator job. Sounds like a longshot for now.
^^I t was in todays paper.
http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/fo...nts_radar.htmlRomeo Crennel and Jim Haslett could get their shots at the Giants' vacant defensive coordinator job this week, though the favorite might turn out to be Perry Fewell.
Fewell, the only one known to have interviewed for the job, interviewed for the same job with the Bears Monday. But the former Bills interim coach left Chicago without an offer, keeping the door open for the Giants. Crennel returned from vacation Monday and was planning to return a call to the Giants Monday night. He's also being pursued by the Chiefs, and a source familiar with his thinking said that's his top choice. Haslett, the former Saints and Rams coach, was reportedly contacted by the Giants Monday night.
Dumb & Dumber
Why Fewell? What did he accomplish with the Bills that was so amazing?

Haslett is off the list now and Crennel is probably going to KC. Fewell is the leader in the clubhouse right now by virtue of the fact that there are no other candidates.
Maybe give Sheriden a second chance??
If I had 3 wishes... One of my wishes would be to make a select few of you Pirates Fans.
Maybe Belichick would like to return to his roots.
Don't tease me, you know what I do for a living.
but but..Romeo Crennel heads to Chiefs, Jim Haslett to Redskins as Perry Fewell likely Giants' last option
He should be getting a call Sunday night around 8ish.Regardless of what happens with Fewell, the Giants may also wait for Bob Sutton, the Jets linebackers coach, who reportedly was their "target" from the beginning. They cannot request permission to interview him until the Jets are eliminated from the playoffs.

Pretty disappointing that they couldn't land Crennel or Haslett over the freakin' Chiefs and 'Skins, although I supposed they both had their reasons.
I guess getting some new, younger blood on this coaching staff is for the best anyway. Whoever they hire, I hope he has a sound plan for fixing this mess on D.
Romeo went to work for Pioli again. Shanahan on offense and Haslett on defense is a pretty good pairing for the 'Skins. That makes me nervous for next year - especially if they get a QB.
Please do not hire Sutton as the DC. NO WAY. He was a disaster as DC for the Jets---I hated him.

It's probably going to be Fewell or this guy Sutton, which is disappointing because there were some decent names on the list and the Giants have to settle for a second-tier replacement.
I dont know a thing about Fewell.....but he has to be better then Sutton. Sutton will be another Sheridan or Tim Lewis.

Don't know anything about Fewell either, but I was hoping for an experienced DC like Jauron or Crennel. Apparently the Giants aren't interested in Jauron so it's not happening.
I just received a txt alert from ESPN saying Giants will name Perry Fewell as the DC.
Stuff on Fewell:
That's just one year, though. We need some Bills fans to check in here and tell us what we're in for.
Well he's gotta be better than Sheridan. I don't think I've watched a Bills game since that snowy Giants game up there in 2007 so I have no idea what kind of style Fewell has...
But again, it's gotta be better than Sheridan...
http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nf...ory?id=4825410Former Buffalo Bills interim coach Perry Fewell is planning to accept the New York Giants defensive coordinator position on Thursday, according to a league source.
As of late Thursday morning, Fewell hadn't notified Giants of his decision, but the Giants have been informed they can expect to land their man.
Fewell's agreement would be significant on a number of levels. It would give the Giants the man they had been seeking to succeed former defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan. It would also take Fewell away from the Chicago Bears, who at one point were the clear-cut favorite to land him.
It would also remove another candidate from the Bills, who interviewed Fewell for their vacant coaching position.
The Giants fired Sheridan shortly after the regular season ended with back-to-back blowout losses, in which the defense was torched for 41 points by Carolina and 44 points by Minnesota.
Dumb & Dumber
Good. If it's true.
We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.
It is never too late to be what you might have been.
Can anyone provide what type of coordinator/coach Fewell is?

Well, I think Buffalo were 4-3...I think. But even still, they were pretty awful defensively so, I am not quite sure what to think of this right now.
I am not excited or disappointed. Its not the slam dunk coach that walks into a room and everyone just immediately shuts the hell up.

Perry Fewell has not committed to any job, a source with knowledge of the situation told the Sun-Times.
But Fewell is evaluating initial offers from both the Bears and the New York Giants, and is doing his due diligence on both clubs. Since he's never worked for the Giants, Fewell may be doing more legwork on that particular club.
Fewell was the Bears defensive backs coach in 2005.
ESPN reported this morning that Fewell had made a decision and planned to inform both clubs of his decision. ESPN, however, also made clear that the matter was not finalized.

Bettis says Cowher waiting on Giants »
By Ralph Vacchiano
Bill Cowher wants to be the next head coach of the Giants.
At least, he does according to Jerome Bettis, Cowher’s former running back with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bettis said the reason Cowher hasn’t returned to coach is because he’s “holding out” for the Giants job to open up. In fact, he told Chris “Mad Dog” Russo today on Sirius XM’s Mad Dog Radio that Cowher would have gotten the Giants’ job in 2008 if Tom Coughlin hadn’t taken the Giants on that magical, Super Bowl XLII run.
“That’s the team that he really coveted,” Bettis said. “This is where he always wanted to be. The Mara family, he’s been very close to them. … He’s known them very well and was on the inside track — before the Giants won the Super Bowl — for that job. And I think he’s holding out for that opportunity if it presents itself.”

Nothing would make me happier than for that to happen. Just a shame that we'd have to loss like crazy again next year and it wont be fun.

Giants Hire Perry Fewell As Defensive Coordinatorhttp://www.eog.com/news/full-article.aspx?id=47538Buffalo Bills interim coach Perry Fewell has been hired as the New York Giants defensive coordinator.
Coach Tom Coughlin announced the move late Thursday evening after Fewell spent the past few days weighing offers from the Giants and the Chicago Bears.
Dumb & Dumber
What has Cowher exactly done in his career that is so outstanding? I never understood the love affair with the guy. He won one Super Bowl, in how many years?
How many big games did the guy lose?
149-90 career record with 12 playoff wins. And his teams play good D always.
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
The Pittsburgh defense starts and ends with Dick LeBeau. You are kidding yourself if you think Cowher is the man behind that machine.
Cowher is a good coach, but he is overrated. He is on the same level as a Dungy, Reid, and Coughlin.
I actually really like Andy Reid as a coach...
They were a good defensive club even when Dick wasnt there. Dick made them great but they still produced when he wasnt around.
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
Andy Reid is terribly overrated....much like McNabb.

July 1 (182 at-bats):

What did Cowher produce though? Years of playoff appearances, with nothing to show. Much like Coughlin with the Giants and Jags.
And Cowher has lost some absolutely horrible games.
2 Superbowl appearances and 6 Championship game appearances is nothing to spit at.
Every coach loses horrible games..even the great one in New England. The key is consistently getting your teams to those big games.
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
Which is why he is no different than the above mentioned guys I named. All of whom get their teams to the playoffs year in and year out.
The way the team gave up on him this year would lead me to believe that Tom isnt on Cowhers level. Cowher might not always win but his teams dont give up like Tom's teams have done over the years.
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
Next season is going to decide whether Coughlin gets an extension or is axed.
I still get the sense that there are many Giant players who aren't Coughlin biggest fans. but this is the case with all coaches with some players.
Coughlin's tenure here is very mixed. He won a Superbowl but I believe Spagnolo played a huge role in that. More so then Coughlin.
His record of coordinator hiring has been spotty. Spags was a good one. and I have mixed views on Gilbride.
He's taken the team to 4 straight playoff appearances but at the same time his only playoff wins was in that Superbowl year. Every other time they was one and done.
Also the staple of the Giants in his tenure here is get off to a hot start. and have late season collapse. Again the only exception is the Superbowl year.
If not for that SB, he would have been fired a long time ago.
Not saying he's a bad coach, but despite the SB, the results have been eh.
I like the idea of Cowher on this team although it is really uncertain if he would come out of retirement to coach us.
I'm all for giving Coughlin the entire season next year to see where we end up. If we're disappointed again, it's time to move on. Coughlin is up there in age. He's not the long-term solution. I do appreciate everything he gave to us though.
The Man

Coughlin's getting next year no matter what, and he should.
Retirement will probably be in the cards for him in the not-too-distant future anyway. He'll be 64 at the start of next season, so I can't imagine he's going to be doing this for too much longer.
He won a Super Bowl and the team has been a consistent playoff team. While I certainly agree with some of your criticisms, his tenure here has been nothing but a success.
Alex Rodriguez
Career OPS: .965
Postseason OPS: .977
Enough of the TC debate, barring another collapse he isnt going anywhere.
There was nothing better this weekend than watching the Cowgirls lose and Aikman wasnt saying a word in the booth & the look on Jerry Jones' face was awsome.
Dumb & Dumber
Should the Giants interview Mike Nolan now that he's done with Denver?
looks like he is heading to the Dolphins.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4837350
not that it means much but Mel Kiper has the Giants taking DE Carlos Dunlap from Florida.
As long as it's on the defensive side of the ball I don't care who they take. But with a pick this high they'd better deliver an immediate impact player regardless of where he fits on the field.
How about a LB?!
