Despite Giants’ struggles, young assistant coaches remain highly-regarded

The New York Giants are 2-8, and the seats of GM Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll are turned up to varying degrees of warmth depending on who you ask. Young assistant coaches for the Giants, though, appear to remain held in high esteem around the NFL.

DC Shane Bowen

(Age 37)

A former Georgia Tech linebacker whose playing career ended early because of injury, Bowen is now in his ninth season as an NFL coach and fourth as a defensive play-caller, having served as the Titans’ DC for three years before taking the same job with the Giants this past offseason.
