Bullen, whose 18 years of coaching experience includes 12 in the NFL, enters his third season with the Giants.
Bullen served as interim defensive coordinator for the final five games of last season, when the Giants gave up an average of 21 points per game while recording 13 sacks and forcing eight turnovers in that stretch. Under Bullen, Brian Burns had one of the best seasons in recent Giants history, recording 16.5 sacks (tied with Jason Pierre-Paul for fourth-most in franchise history) and 31 quarterback hits (most by any Giant since the statistic started being tracked in 2006). Burns picked up his third career Pro Bowl nod, first with the Giants, while also earning his first All-Pro (second team) honors.
Meanwhile, Abdul Carter was a finalist for AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year after the No. 3 overall pick led his class with 23 quarterback hits.
