The New York Giants shook things up on Wednesday, firing defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson and safeties coach Mike Treier.
Now the hunt is on to replace both assistants and USA TODAY’s Art Stapleton reports that the Giants could be honing in on Marquand Manuel for one of those roles.
A name I’m hearing to potentially fill one of two Giants position coaching openings in defensive secondary, per sources: Marquand Manuel.

The 45-year-old Manuel was a sixth-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2002 NFL draft. In total, he spent eight years in the league and made stops with six different teams.
Manuel appeared in 116 games (58 starts), recording 368 tackles, two QB hits, one sack, 16 passes defensed, two interceptions, and one defensive touchdown.
After retirement following the 2009 season, Manuel took a year off and then entered the coaching ranks as an intern at Florida. He joined the Seattle Seahawks in 2012 and held multiple assistant roles before moving on to the Atlanta Falcons in 2015.
Manuel initially served as the secondary coach in Atlanta before being promoted to defensive coordinator under Dan Quinn in 2017.
Manuel also spent the 2020 season as the defensive backs coach for the Philadelphia Eagles and served as safeties coach for the New York Jets over the past four seasons.
