Brian Daboll’s run with the New York Giants came to an end on Monday as the team allowed another fourth-quarter comeback to doom them, resulting in their eighth loss of the season.

Multiple reports indicated that the team and Daboll parted ways, which is an abnormal move for an organization that usually likes to wait until the end of the season to decide on coaching changes. He’s the second head coach to be fired by the Giants in the middle of the year since Tom Coughlin left the franchise. The team fired Bob McAdoo before the 2017 season was over.

Daboll was the Buffalo Bills’ offensive coordinator from 2018 to 2021 and was credited with helping turn Josh Allen into an MVP candidate during his tenure. There was hope he could do the same with Daniel Jones as the two quarterbacks shared similar characteristics.

In Daboll’s first season, the Giants went from 4-13 under head coach Joe Judge to 9-7-1 and made the playoffs. Jones led New York to a road playoff win over the Minnesota Vikings before losing to the Philadelphia Eagles. But the hope was there that the Giants could get back to the proud organization it once was on the football field.

Ultimately, injuries and inconsistent play doomed the Daboll era beginning in Year 2. He would never have a winning record again as Giants head coach even though the team was ranked first in takeaway/giveaway ratio in 2022. Daboll never had more than six wins in New York after the playoff
