The New York Giants continued on Friday to reshape their coaching staff, firing assistant defensive line coach Bryan Cox.
@Doug_Analytics on ‘X’ was the first to notice Cox’s removal from the Giants’ website. Pat Leonard was first to confirm Cox’s firing.
Cox had been the Giants’ assistant defensive line coach since 2022. Andre Patterson remains defensive line coach. The Giants have now fired head coach Brian Daboll, defensive coordinator Shane Bowen, and Cox.
A player from 1991-2002, Cox was a three-time Pro Bowler. He worked as an assistant coach for the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons from 2006-2016. He was then out of football until the Giants hired him in 2022.
The 2-11 Giants have lost seven consecutive games and have the NFL’s worst run defense, giving up 5.8 yards per rushing attempt.
The reason for the firing and why it happened now are not clear.
