The New York Giants have decided to terminate head coach Brian Daboll following a disappointing 2-8 start this season. The announcement came shortly after a narrow 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears, which marked another instance of the Giants blowing a late lead.
In light of Daboll”s dismissal, a close friend expressed concern about the future of general manager Joe Schoen, questioning how he would navigate the challenging situation following the firings of both coordinators and now the head coach. Despite the turmoil, the Giants have confirmed that Schoen will lead the search for Daboll”s successor, indicating that he will remain with the team at least through 2026.
The Giants” struggles this season have drawn considerable scrutiny, particularly regarding Schoen”s decisions over the past four years, which have contributed to the team”s current roster issues. Chris Carlin, a play-by-play announcer, commented on the state of the team, noting that outside of standout players like Malik Nabers, the overall performance has been subpar.
With this latest coaching change, the Giants are clearly placing more blame on Daboll for the team”s failures rather than holding Schoen accountable for the roster”s dire condition. The franchise is now tasked with finding a new leader to turn their fortunes around.
This firing comes on the heels of a season where the Giants have struggled significantly, with a record reflecting a decline from previous years. Last season, they finished with a 6-11 record, and the year prior saw them at 3-14.
The Giants” decision to part ways with Daboll signals a potential shift in strategy as they attempt to rebuild and restore competitiveness in the league.
