Perry fewell.... Jim caldwell... There is no rational reason to seriously interview either of them.... Unless they're just interviewing bad candidates so the fanbase will be relieved when they hire someone we otherwise wouldn't like

Caldwell has an excellent reputation for the passing game and QB. They could be asking his assessment of what he'd do with RG3 and get ideas of his perceived strengths & weaknesses.

Fewell has faced the Redskins multiple times each of the past 3 seasons, why not pick his brain to get a divisional opponents perspective on us?

Point is, the interview process isn't only to fill the empty spot. Sometimes it's also to do some information gathering and it's possible you may hear/see/learn something or about someone that benefits you.

Exactly, never hurts to pick as many brains as possible. They're both worthy candidates as well.

Caldwell was 2-14 in his only year as head coach without Peyton manning. The giants defense was almost worse than ours this year. Nether is a worthy candidate for a nfl head coaching position. Id question if Fewell is even an upgrade at defensive coordinator over haslett.

This makes me sad. Bother to check any websites on that fact? :facepalm:

Points per game: Giants 18th overall, Skins 30th

Yup, almost

And you think those stats merit head coaching consideration? The day we fire mike Shanahan and hires fewell is the day this organization crossed the point of no return in being the worst in the NFL.

Yes he's worthy of being interviewed based on his resume.

It doesn't mean he's being strongly considered for the job.

So are coaches suppose to be hired strictly based on stats? No coach can have success without good players on the field. Fewell is well deserving of a interview.

I think you may be expecting too much from a HC candidate. Not many coaches have perfect credentials before becoming successful as HC. Just for a point of reference:

Bill Bellichick - 36-44 as Cleveland's HC

Tom Coughlin - 60-68 (19-29 in last three years) as JAX HC

Sean Payton - had play calling responsibilities taken away from him by Jim Fassel in 2002 after several poor offensive showings; then he was assistant HC to Parcells in Dallas with a record of (25-23) and Offensive Rank in points of (21, 25, 15)

John Harbaugh - Eagles ST coach for 9 years , then DB coach for 1 . . . That's it?

Mike Tomlin- very successful as DB coach of TB from 2001-2005, then was Vikings DC where his defense ranked 8th overall, 1st against the Run, and last against the Pass,

So, yeah, most of these guys did some awesome stuff that I didn't mention, but the point is, not everyone has stellar credentials and everyone has some blemishes on their record.
