Spags.

[True Blue]

Our Folk Hero has once again been fired, any thoughts? Obviously with Fewell's endorsement to be around for this season he won't be our DC, but any thoughts on him possibly being our secondary coach, LBs or Line coach? Certainly would leave the door open for him some day being the DC.

[GGGGG-Men]

Can't imagine he'd take a step back to a position coach and definitely would clash with Fewell's style. I think he's gonna get a DC position fast.

Would love him as a DC, but the commitment to Fewell won't allow it

Pleeeeeeeaassssseeeee bring this guy back as our DC, **** Fewell!!!!

After the year the Saint's defense just had, he's not getting any offers to be an NFL DC this year.

In truth I would expect him to take a college HC job. Much more stability and after getting fired twice in as many years, I would think that would be appealing.

They had a lot more issues then their defense.

Everything that happened with that team, before the season even started.. suspension's..etc..he was asked to run a team with missing players..and the scandal.

His scheme and system worked great with the giants. I would love to have him back as the DC.

I think people understand the reality of the Saints situation. He's got a proven track record on D with us, Philly and even the Rams D was far better under him.

Really Philly should be all over him.

Giants gotta be on this, **** Fewell. Spags is perfect for this defense and team. **** commitment, sorry Perry someone better came along.

The reality is that the NFL is a what have you done for me lately league. Lately Spags was the coordinator of the worst defense of all time (at least number wise).

The offense did just fine other than Brees having more turnovers than usual but the D was atrocious and the players had no confidence in the system or in him.

I like Spags very much and the Giants players love him but he would be best served taking a step back down the ladder and run a successful College program then jumping back up when a good situation presents itself.

He is still young and bright and I'm not criticizing his ability but what most people see is the awful numbers from the Saint's D and the appearance that the Rams were not getting better under him as HC but did improve under Jeff Fisher.

The reality is that his reputation has taken a big hit and he needs a good stable opportunity to rehabilitate it.

Guys if Spags can coach our Dline back to the monster that we know it is (which I know he can just bc of the relationship), then Fewells defensive schemes work and they work well. His schemes rely heavily on the Line getting penetration, but he just doesn't know how to get that to happen... Spags does.

Jerry Reese claims he is "always looking to upgrade the roster". Wonder if that includes the staff. I doubt it.

Hope I'm wrong but I just don't see Fewell attacking the QB consistently next season. This slide the DL B/S

I'll never forgive Fewell for the worst scheme I've ever seen against the Colts and Peyton when he dressed only one DT, had a row of DE's and played the DB's at linebacker. The Colts just ran the football with DB's taking on guards. The most pathetic defensive scheme ever. Never trusted him afterwards despite the Superbowl.

The Saints debacle is a bit of an exception to the "what have you done for me lately". Bountygate, suspended coaches and players.....kinda hard to step into that and be a first year success at coordinator. People know his style and ability and he'll find work fast. Hell even Rob Ryan didn't wait long.

I would love for this to happen, primarily to bring back the aggressiveness and intensity back to the defense. However, the Giants are not going to let go of a minority coach, when the league is about to investigate the lack of minorities as head coaches and DC/OC.

Two things need to happen for Fewell/our defense to succeed next year.
1) Be aggressive. Don't be afraid to get burned every now and then. It happens. Knock the guy out cold on the next play.
2) Our front office needs to draft or bring in FA that can be counted as leaders. The defense needs to bring an unmatched level of intensity. I don't remember who it was, it might have been Antonio Pierce, who was asked to describe Spags, and the word that was used was intense. This defense needs that.

I will never forget it, in one of the debacle games at the end of the year (Falcons, Ravens or Redskins), they showed a clip of Tuck or Osi coming out for a play after allowing a big play to happen and Fewell and the player just kind of shrugged and you can almost tell Fewell asking with what happened with a smirk on his face. Almost as if to say: I don't know what is going on. I was furious. There is this complete lack of intensity in the coach and his players. I want to see yelling, arguments, pushing/shoving, 'roid rage, whatever. This level of intensity has not been there ever since Strahan and Pierce retired.

It pains me to see guys like Stabbin' Ray Lewis, Patrick Willis, London Fletcher...damn, even Terry Tate, Office Linebacker, bringing the level of intensity needed to their teams/tv commercials.

Bring back Spag, never liked Fewell.
