Now that the New York Giants’ ownership has decided to retain general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll, what changes will be made following the Giants’ 3-14 season?
Some expect the Giants to make a move to replace defensive coordinator Shane Bowen after just one year. After all, his defensive unit certainly disappointed in 2024.
Coincidentally, following his firing by the Las Vegas Raiders, former Giant and Super Bowl champion Antonio Pierce is now available.
One of Pierce’s former Giant teammates believes New York should look to bring him in to join Daboll’s staff as their defensive coordinator.

Pierce, of course, took over as the Raiders interim head coach mid-season in 2023 and Vegas decided to hire him last offseason as their full-time head coach.
The former Giants captain was reportedly one of the “top targets” for the team last offseason to fill the void at defensive coordinator after the Giants and Wink Martindale parted ways.
Tynes and Pierce were teammates for three years and won Super Bowl XLII with the Giants. Tynes is active on X and often weighs in on the status of his former team.
While there is no current vacancy for the Giants at defensive coordinator, should it become available, they would likely explore the possibility of bringing in their former captain as their defensive coordinator.
