The Giants would be a better team this year if Wink was the defensive coordinator over Bowen. Many New York fans are upset that Daboll got rid of him in the first place and now they’re happy that Daboll was fired. The handling of the defensive coordinator role is got what him fired and Giants fans can speculate why the Wolverines defensive coordinator posted something on his Twitter account also.
