Giants Fire Defensive Coaches Jerome Henderson and Michael Treier After Disappointing Season

The staff changes come after a 3-14 season marked by defensive struggles and a lack of takeaways.

The New York Giants have dismissed defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson and safeties coach Michael Treier following a challenging 2024 season.
Despite ranking eighth in passing yards allowed per game, the defense struggled with takeaways, setting a franchise record for fewest interceptions in a season with five.
Henderson, who had been with the team for five seasons and was promoted to defensive passing game coordinator last year, faced criticism for the unit's underperformance.
Treier, in his second year as safeties coach and fifth with the organization, also saw his role in a defense that allowed a 69.4% pass completion rate, tied for 30th in the league, come under scrutiny.
Giants ownership and leadership, while retaining head coach Brian Daboll, signaled the need for defensive improvements as a priority for the upcoming season.
