The 59-year-old Withers spent the 2019 season with the Giants under then-head coach Pat Shurmur. He worked alongside defensive coordinator James Bettcher, while Henry Baker served as his assistant defensive backs coach.

The Giants, who finished 4-12 that season, sported the fifth-worst passing defense in 2019. They allowed a total of 4,225 yards passing and 30 touchdowns.

Shurmur was fired following the season and the majority of his staff, including Withers, were also let go.

After his time with the Giants, Withers joined Texas as an analyst. He then went on to serve as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator for FIU (2021) and assistant head coach for Temple (2022).
