After surrendering another fourthu2011quarter lead on Sunday, the New York Giants parted ways with much-maligned defensive coordinator Shane Bowen.
The excuses had all but run out, and the consistent inconsistencies, poor game management, and lack of situational awareness were finally too much for interim head coach Mike Kafka to take. It only took two weeks. But after all, this is his audition for a more long-term coaching gig.
Bowen’s release, while inevitable, wasn’t only because he wasn’t the right man for the job. He wasn’t. But there’s a lot more to the blame game than Giants fans would like to admit.
