Reports Point to Giants Firing DC Shane Bowen After Another Late Collapse

The defensive review coincides with GM Joe Schoen preparing a targeted head-coach search for the offseason.

Overview

  • After a 27-20 loss to the Packers dropped New York to 2-9 with a fourth blown fourth-quarter lead, interim coach Mike Kafka said, "We’ll evaluate everything."
  • SNY’s Connor Hughes reported the odds are Shane Bowen will be relieved of his duties as defensive coordinator, with multiple outlets echoing that expectation.
  • The defense ranks near the bottom of the league, allowing about 27.3 points and 383 yards per game with one of the NFL’s worst rush defenses.
  • Kafka benched Abdul Carter for the first six snaps over a midweek issue, which he called a coach’s decision; Carter acknowledged making a mistake.
  • Pro Football Rumors notes Jay Glazer’s reporting that Joe Schoen will lead a focused head-coach search that is not expected to prioritize college candidates.
