With the Lions job being filled on Thursday and the Rams job possibly being filled with someone other that Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, his options for becoming a head coach in 2009 could be dwindling. But he remains a viable candidate for the head-coaching vacancy with the other team in the stadium where his current employer plays its games. According to the Associated Press, Spagnuolo received a second interview earlier this week for the job vacated more than two weeks ago when the Jets fired Eric Mangini. After his first interview with the Jets, word began to circulate that Spagnuolo hadn’t performed as well as expected. But with no other obvious favorite for the job, the powers-that-be seem to be willing to take a closer look at a guy who became a hot candidate last year when the Giants made it to the Super Bowl. Another possibility is that, with Scott Pioli now the G.M. in Kansas City and rumors of Spagnuolo being on Pioli’s short list of potential candidates, Spagnuolo might suddenly be looking better to Jets G.M. Mike Tannenbaum. Other reportedly serious candidates for the job are Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan.
