The New York Giants are expected to hire Tennessee Titans linebackers coach Frank Bush to fill the same role on new head coach John Harbaugh’s staff, CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reports.
Bush, 63, brings nearly four decades of NFL experience to the Giants. A former linebacker, he was drafted by the Houston Oilers in 1985 and played two seasons before transitioning to scouting in 1987 and serving as linebackers coach starting in 1993.

His resume includes stints with the Denver Broncos (where he contributed to Super Bowl 32 and 33 victories), Arizona Cardinals, Houston Texans (as defensive coordinator from 2009-2010), Miami Dolphins, New York Jets (including interim defensive coordinator in 2020), Atlanta Falcons and two separate terms with the Titans.
The move reunites Bush with Giants defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson, who most recently worked with Bush on the Titans and earlier with the Jets in 2019-2020. During Bush’s most recent tenure with the Titans, he helped rookie linebacker Cedric Gray rank fourth in the NFL with 164 tackles.
This addition bolsters the Giants’ defensive lineup as they rebuild under Harbaugh. Bush’s depth of experience and previous work with Wilson is expected to provide continuity and expertise to the unit’s linebacker development.
