New Report Says Giants Have Major Daboll Decision Coming

The New York Giants’ runaway train of a season has found itself barreling toward consequences. New York won its third game of the season in Week 17, a win that’s biggest impact could come in April. The win snapped a 10-game losing streak that defined the season and potentially sealed head coach Brian Daboll’s fate. He’ll have one last audition on Sunday, when the Giants travel to take on the Philadelphia Eagles’ JV squad. As things stand, New York remains undecided, perhaps putting an outsized (and poorly weighted) impact on Week 18’s proceedings. The Athletic’s recent reporting suggests that the Giants are leaning towards breaking up the marriage between Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen

As for the Giants and Patriots, it’s all been very weird, to say the least,” Dianna Russini reported. “Inside those buildings, it seems like most people believe they’ll get more time – specifically the head coaches. But from the outside looking in, there’s a sense from those around the league that moves are coming for both franchises. The chatter continues to be that Joe Schoen will remain the Giants’ general manager while Brian Daboll will be let go. Owner John Mara is expected to make the final call very soon.” Frankly, that’s a decision that makes little sense – and none at all after Mara’s public comments about continuity. Too many times, the Giants have taken half-measures when hoping to redirect the franchise. Firing Daboll while keeping the general manager responsible for a bottom-five roster is asking to limit the pool of potential Schoen replacements, presumably asking them to hitch their wagon to a coach they didn’t hire
