Giants' Assistant Coach Bryan Cox Dismissed Following Controversial Flight Incident

Giants' Assistant Coach Dismissed Over Seating Controversy

In a surprising turn of events following the New York Giants' 33-15 defeat to the New England Patriots, assistant coach Bryan Cox has been let go from his position. The decision appears to be linked to Cox's reaction to an unusual seating arrangement on the team's flight back from the game.

According to reports from The Athletic, Interim head coach Mike Kafka did not provide specific details regarding the dismissal when asked. However, Giants insider Dan Duggan provided further context regarding the situation on Wednesday.

Duggan noted, "Sources say the final straw was Cox's reaction to the seating arrangement being changed on the flight home from the Patriots game." Typically, assistant coaches sit near the front of the plane, but during this trip, they were relocated to the back, which Cox reportedly found unacceptable.

While Kafka has sidestepped questions concerning the termination, it is clear that this incident has left a mark on the team's recent struggles. The Giants continue to search for stability as they navigate a challenging season.
