Steve Spagnuolo has decided to remain defensive coordinator of the New York Giants. Spagnuolo was interviewed by the Redskins earlier this week, but was never officially offered the job.

Steve Spagnuolo will remain with the New York Giants and is not a candidate for the Redskins job according to a source with knowledge of the situation. A formal announcement is likely to come later today, with a new three-year deal from the Giants on its way, too.

Spagnuolo returned to the New York area this morning. Jim Fassel was seen by many as the frontrunner to get this job, with Spagnuolo emerging late. It would appear to be headed that way now.

I think it’s novel that Spags is sticking with the Giants. If the Giants’ defense plays as well as they did this year, he’ll have plenty of offers again in the future.
