Dragon Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Let's hope that he can get our defense to play above their talent level like he did with the Eagles LBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubeck Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Makes sense when you think about it. He worked with the secondary first and did a good job with that. Then he moved up to LB and their LBs have been doing well. With him as DC with a focus on LB and DB and having Waufle working with the DL that could be a winning combination I hope.

lemmiwinks Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Giants.com EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Giants head coach Tom Coughlin today named Steve Spagnuolo the team's new defensive coordinator. Spagnuolo replaces Tim Lewis, who was dismissed on Jan. 11 after as the Giants' defensive coordinator for the past three years. Spagnuolo comes to the Giants after eight seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, the last three as the club's linebackers coach. While he was in that role, middle linebacker Jeremiah Trotter was selected to two Pro Bowl berths. In 2005, Trotter was voted to the game after leading the Eagles with 169 tackles, including 13 for a loss. That season, Philadelphia led the NFL with 60 tackles for a loss, including 25 by the linebackers. Former Eagles linebackers coach Steve Spagnuolo has been named the Giants defensive coordinator. Spagnuolo was the only coach to work under highly-respected defensive coordinator Jim Johnson during his entire tenure in Philadelphia. During six of his eight seasons with the Eagles, Spagnuolo coached a player who earned Pro Bowl honors. After two seasons of improvement, the Giants’ defense took a step back in 2006. The unit was ranked 25th in overall defense in 2006, allowing an average of 342.4 yards a game. That was a 15 yards-per-game increase over the 2005 figure. The Giants ranked 14th against the run (114.4 yards a game, an 11-yard increase over the previous season) and 28th vs. the pass (228.1 yards a game, a modest four-yard increase). The Giants allowed 362 points, a 48-point increase over their 2005 total. The team’s point total had declined significantly in each of the previous two seasons. Spagnuolo (pronounced SPAG-no-low) helped coach an Eagles defense that is traditionally one of the NFL’s best. This season, Philadelphia ranked 15th in the NFL, allowing 328.1 yards a game. The Eagles were 26th against the run (136.4) but ninth versus the pass (191.7). Philadelphia allowed 328 points, tying the Eagles with Atlanta for 15th in the league. Spagnuolo originally joined the Eagles coaching staff in 1999 as a defensive assistant/quality control coach working specifically with the team's safeties. Two years later, he was promoted to defensive backs coach, where he spent three seasons tutoring Pro Bowlers Brian Dawkins, Bobby Taylor, Troy Vincent and Michael Lewis. In those three seasons, the Eagles pass defense ranked in the NFL's top 10 in three key statistical categories: third-down defense, touchdown passes allowed and net yards per pass attempt. Prior to joining the Eagles, Spagnuolo, 47, spent 15 seasons in the collegiate coaching ranks and two years in NFL Europe. He spent the 1998 season as the defensive coordinator of NFL Europe's Frankfurt Galaxy, who finished second in the league in total defense en route to a World Bowl appearance. Four of the six linebackers and nine of the 11 defensive starters he tutored went on to play in the NFL. Spagnuolo also served as the defensive line and special teams coach of the Barcelona Dragons in 1992. A native of Grafton, Mass. Spagnuolo has served as a defensive coordinator on the college level with Connecticut and Maine. In addition, he served as assistant coach at Massachusetts, Lafayette, Rutgers and Bowling Green. Prior to his stint at Maine, Spagnuolo spent four months as a scout for the San Diego Chargers under then-general manager Bobby Beathard. His first NFL experience came in 1983 as an intern with the Washington Redskins under then-assistant general manager Charlie Casserly. Spagnuolo was born on Dec. 21, 1959 in Whitinsville, Mass. He attended Grafton High School and earned a bachelor's degree in physical education from Springfield (Mass.) College and a master's degree in sports management from the University of Massachusetts. He is married (Maria). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubeck Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 He was a linebackers coach for the Philadelphia Eagles. As linebackers coach, he was known for aggressive blitzing schemes and making quarterbacks uncomfortable. I hope he continues that trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njsmalls Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 No offense, but I honestly think Waufle sucks....We need a better DL coach. He did help develop Osi, Tuck and Kiwanuka...but we still couldn't get much consistent (a word that has no place in the history of the Giants) pressure with four guys. I wouldn't mind seeing the entire defensive staff thrown out. Too bad we can't totally trash the offense too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gateb Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I like it. He's been under JJ for a while now, and JJ is an oustanding DC IMO. Good pick up, I think it will pay off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GorillaNJ Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I am glad that they went outside of the team for a DC. The LBs for the Egirls was a quality squad that was a blitz happy team. I am a little concerned about an ex-Eagle as a coach but it might help in game planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
