Overview
- Bill Belichick stated he has not and will not pursue any NFL head-coaching vacancies and closed with, “We’re on to Wake Forest.”
- Belichick’s decision ends external speculation linking him to the Giants, where he once won two Super Bowls as a defensive coordinator.
- The Giants fired Brian Daboll on Nov. 11 and named assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Mike Kafka as interim while the search proceeds.
- Context around the dismissal includes reports that Daboll exploded at Kafka after a dropped pass and prior fines of $100,000 for Daboll and $200,000 for the team over a medical-tent incident.
- Longtime Giants reporter Gary Myers has said the team would not consider Belichick, claiming he burned organizational bridges years ago.
