The New York Giants announced on Monday that they fired defensive coordinator Shane Bowen after the team failed to protect yet another lead in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Detroit Lions. Bowen has been replaced by OLB coach Charlie Bullen.

New York Giants' Mike Kafka must fire Shane Bowen to preserve his coaching audition, as the defense's collapses echo those that sank Brian Daboll.

If Brian Daboll, who was fired as the Giants head coach two weeks ago, wasn’t so fiercely protective of his coaching staff and had let Bowen go, he might still be the head coach of the Giants. Bowen should be fired by the Giants on Monday morning as soon as the coaches reconvene at the team facility.

Giants defensive coordinator Shane Bowen addressed the ongoing situation around Carter after the third overall pick in the NFL Draft was kept on the sidelines for the team's opening defensive series against the Green Bay Packers.
