Giants fire coach Brian Daboll; Joe Schoen remains as GM - ESPN

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants fired coach Brian Daboll on Monday after the team blew another double-digit lead Sunday in Chicago.

«The past few seasons have been nothing short of disappointing, and we have not met our expectations for this franchise,» Giants co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch said Monday in a joint statement. «We understand the frustrations of our fans, and we will work to deliver a significantly improved product.»

Assistant head coach and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will serve as the Giants' interim coach. Kafka was a finalist for multiple head coaching jobs over the past two years.

Joe Schoen will remain the team's general manager and lead the search for the next head coach.

The Giants were 9-7-1 in Brian Daboll's first season in 2022 and made the playoffs. Over the past three seasons they're 11-33, the second-worst record in the NFL during that span.

«We feel like Joe has assembled a good young nucleus of talent, and we look forward to its development,» Mara said. «Unfortunately, the results over the past three years have not been what any of us want. We take full responsibility for those results and look forward to the kind of success our fans expect.»

Tisch added: «These are difficult decisions, and John and I do not take them lightly, but we feel like this is the right thing to do at this time and will allow us to move forward.»

No other changes to the coaching staff are being made at the moment, sources told ESPN.
