Bowen, 37, began his professional coaching career as a defensive assistant with the Houston Texans back in 2016. He joined the Titans in 2018 as their outside linebackers coach and was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2021. He was not retained by the Titans after they fired head coach Mike Vrabel last month.
Here are some quick things to know about Bowen from CBSSports’ Dan Schneier.
The things I like the most about the #Giants hiring Shane Bowen as DC:
1. He has DC experience; has called the plays
2. He disguises his coverages well, @nickfalato has done some great work on this – 2021 film a good EX
3. He’ll bring an odd front to base
4. Younger coach— Dan Schneier (@DanSchneierNFL) February 6, 2024
