Overview
- The New York Post reported Friday that Bryan Cox was fired as assistant defensive line coach, and his name has been removed from the team website.
- Cox is the third Giants coach dismissed this season and the second since Mike Kafka replaced Brian Daboll as head coach.
- Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen was fired last week, with Charlie Bullen now calling the defense after being elevated to interim defensive coordinator.
- Bullen recently reinstated a tackling circuit with stricter accountability, and Cox and Andre Patterson had been working across position groups on fundamentals.
- New York ranks last in the NFL in rushing defense, and the team has not provided an explanation for Cox’s dismissal.
