New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll has been fired, according to sources (via ESPN’s Adam Schefter).
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and CBS Sports insider Jonathan Jones also reported Daboll’s firing, in his 4th season with the Giants.
The move comes after the Giants blew another double-digit lead on Sunday in Chicago – the second time this season they lost after leading by at least 10 points with under four minutes remaining. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart also suffered a concussion in the Giants’ 24-20 loss.
The Giants (2-8) have won just two of their first 10 games for the third straight year. They are 11-33 since the start of the 2023 season. The Giants finished 3-14 in 2024, one of the worst years in franchise history.
Assistant head coach and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will serve as the Giants’ interim coach – marking the sixth head coach for the Giants since 2016 (joining Ben McAdoo, Steve Spagnuolo, Pat Shurmur, Joe Judge, and Daboll.)
Daboll was hired in 2022 after spending four years as coordinator for the Buffalo Bills. Daboll won Coach of the Year in his first season with the Giants where they went 9-7-1 and won a playoff game in Minnesota. As Giants’ head coach the past four years, Daboll holds a 20-40-1 record.
