EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -Former Cleveland Browns coach Romeo Crennel has spoken to the New York Giants by telephone about their vacant defensive coordinator’s job but is giving the Kansas City Chiefs the first shot at hiring him.
Crennel’s agent, Joe Linta, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Tuesday that Crennel talked to the Giants on Monday.
Linta said Crennel is focused on becoming the Chiefs’ defensive coordinator. Chiefs coach Todd Haley fired Clancy Pendergast after the regular season ended.
Last week, the Chiefs hired former Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis as offensive coordinator. Weis previously was the offensive coordinator in New England under Bill Belichick at the same time Crennel coordinated the defense.
