The New York Giants hired James Bettcher to run their defense for the 2018 season. Bettcher is a great defensive mind and continues the trend that we’ve seen of young coaches, as he will only be 40 years old at the start of next season.
Bettcher is so talented that Bruce Arians told Rich Eisen on his show that he felt Bettcher should take over for him as the Arizona Cardinals’ head coach. He is a great defensive mind, but he runs a 3-4 scheme, while former defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo had his success with a 4-3 scheme.
