Giants Fire Brian Daboll After 2–8 Start as Mike Kafka Is Reported to Take Interim Role

The move follows a 2–8 start marked by repeated late-game collapses.

Overview

  • The team announced Daboll’s dismissal one day after a 20–24 loss at the Bears in which a 10-point lead disappeared inside the final four minutes.
  • BILD reports owner John Mara said a change was best for the franchise after back-to-back seasons of disappointment.
  • Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka is reported by The Athletic to take over on an interim basis, which would make him the sixth Giants head coach since 2016 if confirmed.
  • The Giants are 2–8 this season, and Daboll leaves with a 20–40–1 record after an initial 2022 playoff run.
  • Reports note major injuries with Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo out for the season and rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart sustaining a concussion.
