After a disastrous 2-8 start to the season, the New York Giants have fired head coach Brian Daboll. NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport shared the news on Monday, confirming the departure of the fourth-year coach from New York.
Daboll’s tenure with the Giants has been marked by controversy and disappointment. Last month, he was involved in a concussion protocol controversy after entering the medical tent while quarterback Jaxson Dart was being evaluated for a concussion. As a result, Daboll was fined $100,000 for violating NFL concussion protocols. Additionally, Daboll has been accused of playing Dart despite the quarterback suffering from a concussion.
The Giants’ poor performance this season has drawn heavy criticism from fans. Social media reactions highlighted frustration not only with Daboll but also with the team’s roster construction and management. Some fans pointed fingers at General Manager Joe Schoen for the team’s offensive struggles, calling him “equally complicit” in the current state of the franchise.
Here is a selection of fan reactions:
– “Malik Nabers got what he wanted.” – PrizePicks @PrizePicks
– “Had Dart playing for weeks with a concussion trying to save his job too 😭” – BINK🎯 @therealbink1
– “Joe Schoen is responsible for this miserable offensive roster. He’s equally as complicit.” – Joe D. Juice @JoeDaJuice
– “Ownership said ‘We have a worse record than the JETS!? Ok, enough is enough.’” – LoserMetsFan @losermetsfan
– “Daboll’s gone. Be honest: is this actually gonna fix anything, or are the Giants just hitting the reset button for the 47th time?” – FHILY👑 @Oluwaphilemon1
– “Jaxson Dart just ran head first into a wall in excitement.” – MayerIsKing @MayerIsKing
Brian Daboll finished his Giants coaching career with a 20-40-1 record. During his tenure, the team made the playoffs only once, which was during his 2022 Coach of the Year campaign.
As the Giants move forward without Daboll, many fans and analysts are left wondering what lies ahead for the franchise. Will a new coach be able to turn things around, or is this yet another rebuild phase for the struggling team?
