Overview
- The Giants parted ways with assistant coach Bryan Cox during their bye week, as multiple outlets confirmed.
- Dan Duggan of The Athletic reported that the final straw was Cox's reaction to assistants being moved to the back of the team plane after the Patriots game.
- Assistants had typically sat near the front of the aircraft before the change, according to the report.
- Interim head coach Mike Kafka declined to share details about the decision when asked on Wednesday.
- Cox was described as close with former head coach Brian Daboll, and his departure follows earlier staff changes including the firing of defensive coordinator Shane Bowen during a 2-11 season.
