The Giants<\/a> have had enough of Brian Daboll, as the team is firing their head coach<\/a>\u00a0following a 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears<\/a>. Daboll becomes the second NFL coach fired this season, following the Titans’ move on from head coach Brian Callahan. Daboll, who is in his fourth year with the Giants, has a 2-8 record this season, and the team just set a staggering franchise record with an 11th straight road loss. That comes a year after the Giants set a franchise record with a 10-game losing streak in 2024.<\/p>\n

Daboll finished his tenure with the Giants 20-40-1 in three-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

Former NFL quarterback Mike Kafka has been named the Giants’ interim head coach. An All-Big Ten selection from Northwestern, Kafka was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL draft and spent six seasons in the NFL as a journeyman quarterback. Kafka became the quarterbacks coach for the Chiefs in 2018 and helped Patrick Mahomes earn the NFL Most Valuable Player award that season.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s loss was the fourth time this season that the Giants lost a game in which they led by double figures.<\/p>\n

According to ESPN analytics, the Giants had a 96.9% win probability with 5:35 left in Sunday\u2019s fourth quarter. This comes after blowing leads with a 92.3% win probability against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2 and after having a 99.3% win probability against the Denver Broncos<\/a> in Week 7.<\/p>\n

The Giants have a franchise quarterback, and one reason for the firing could be to get Jaxson Dart away from Daboll before he’s seriously hurt. The rookie quarterback suffered a concussion in the second half. Sunday\u2019s game marked the fourth time Dart was evaluated for a concussion this season. During an evaluation in the Week 6 win over Philadelphia, Daboll went into the blue medical tent to check on Dart\u2019s status \u2014 a violation that earned him a $100,000<\/a> fine.<\/p>\n

The NFL fined the Giants $200K, head coach Brian Daboll $100, and running back Cam Skattebo $15K for violating the league’s concussion protocol in Week 6 during the 34-17 win over the\u00a0Eagles<\/a>. The NFL and NFLPA conducted a joint investigation over the\u00a0New York Giants<\/a>‘ handling of concussion protocol when Jaxson Dart was forced to exit the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Giants have had enough of Brian Daboll, as the team is firing their head coach\u00a0following a 24-20…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35121,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[679,9,11,10,56,9721,9722,948,3717,10215,940,7944,950,20446,690,930,932,947,20753,1047,20752,938,19213,949,682],"class_list":["post-35120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-accessfree","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-ny","tag-sstssportsnfleagles","tag-sstsneagles","tag-tagamerican-football","tag-tagbig-ten-conference-football","tag-tagchicago-bears","tag-tagespn-inc","tag-tagmike-kafka","tag-tagnational-sports","tag-tagncaa-big-ten-conference","tag-tagnew-york","tag-tagnew-york-giants","tag-tagnfl","tag-tagnfl-hub","tag-tagnorthwestern-wildcats-football","tag-tagoverall-negative","tag-tagpatrick-mahomes","tag-tagphiladelphia-eagles","tag-tagsports-coaching-training","tag-tagsports-news","tag-typestory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35120"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35120\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
