Giants Quietly Dismiss Assistant D-Line Coach Bryan Cox as Defensive Shakeup Grows

The quiet move follows earlier staff cuts during a season defined by a league-worst run defense.

Overview

  • Cox was removed from staff this week with no public explanation, and his bio vanished from the team website.
  • He becomes the third Giants coach let go this season and the second departure since Mike Kafka took over as interim head coach.
  • Defensive line coach Andre Patterson remains in place, now the lone assistant overseeing a front that has struggled to stop the run.
  • Interim coordinator Charlie Bullen, promoted after Shane Bowen’s firing on Nov. 24, has reintroduced tackling-circuit drills focused on fundamentals.
  • Reports describe mixed internal reactions to Bullen’s elevation, while some fans on social media have redirected blame toward general manager Joe Schoen.
