NEW YORK -- Steve Spagnuolo, most recently the linebackers coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, is the next defensive coordinator of the New York Giants.

He replaces Tim Lewis, who was fired by Giants head coach Tom Coughlin at the end of the regular season.

Spagnuolo has been with the Eagles since 1999, first as a defensive quality control assistant. In 2001, he started coaching the team's safeties and eventually took over the entire defensive backfield.

He became the linebackers coach three seasons ago, working for Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson.

Spagnuolo's coaching career includes 15 seasons as a college assistant as well.

What does everybody think about this?

I like the hire. He comes from a good system under Jim Johnson and the players Spanuolo coached had success (the Eagles DBs and then the LBs).

I like even more the fact they didn't bring in some retread.

Doesn't matter if they have Bill Walsh as the offensive coordinator and Buddy Ryan running the D. As long as this team has Eli Manning as their starting QB and not have Tiki Barber they will have a double digit loss column for years to come.
