Giants’ Fewell learned from interviews: report

Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell is hopeful the fourth time’s a charm. If not, he’s glad he’s gotten the chance to interview for that many NFL head coaching jobs.

“I’ve learned from each and every interview I’ve been on,” Fewell told The Tennessean on Friday. “Each and every one is a little bit different. So I don’t get tired of the calls. It’s exciting to get the opportunity. There are only 32 of these jobs, so it’s a real honor and I’m humbled to be called by one of those teams.”

Fewell’s latest interview was with the Titans as the team looks to replace Jeff Fisher. Earlier this offseason, Fewell interviewed with the Broncos, Browns and Panthers, and was considered by the 49ers.

He said the Titans have potential but lack a proven quarterback, with Vince Young and Kerry Collins likely headed elsewhere.

“That would be the challenge,” he said. “They have one of the best backs in the league (Chris Johnson) and a great offensive line. They have very talented receivers. So just adding another piece to that puzzle should help the Titans win the division and then enter the playoffs.”

Fewell completed his first season with the Giants after ending 2009 as Bills interim head coach.

His interviews satisfied NFL Rooney Rule requirements for the teams he spoke with, each having to interview at least one minority candidate.

The Titans interviewed Matt Muchak and Mike Heimerdinger in-house, and Falcons assistant Mike Mularkey. The report says the Titans will use the weekend to evaluate them and decide if more interviews are needed.
