The New York Giants may have held onto head coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen but that doesn't mean that all of last year's 3-14 staff will survive the offseason.
Giants owner John Mara has expressed impatience with New York's turnaround, warning that the G-Men's improvement "better not take too long." And now according to the NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, two assistant coaches are being shown the door.
Per NFL Media insider: "The #Giants have fired defensive passing game coordinator/DB coach Jerome Henderson, sources say. Henderson had been with the team since Joe Judge's first season in 2020. Safeties coach Michael Treier was also let go."

After a fairly consistent run under Tom Coughlin from the mid-2000s to early-2010s, New York has posted just two winning seasons since 2013 — including nine years where the team finished its campaign with double-digit losses.
The Giants' defensive unit ranked in the bottom-third of the league in points, yards and turnover ratio this season and there weren't a lot of positives to point to on that side of the ball.
With that said NY's issues run deeper than defensive back coaches and there's a real question about whether or not anybody should've been retained outside of maybe Daboll.
Now that the team is no longer tied to Daniel Jones' $140 million contract — that's a start. But the Giants are going to have to hit on their third overall pick in April's draft.
