Overview
- Owners John Mara and Steve Tisch announced the coaching change in a joint statement, and The Athletic reports neither ownership nor GM Joe Schoen will address the media this week.
- New York said Schoen remains general manager and will run the head-coach search, though multiple reports indicate his long-term status is expected to be reviewed in January.
- Kafka steps in as interim head coach while defensive coordinator Shane Bowen stays in his role, and Kafka’s first game comes against the Packers.
- The Giants fell to 2-8 after a fourth straight loss and have repeatedly squandered double-digit leads, contributing to the decision to move on from Daboll.
- Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart is in the concussion protocol, and reporting notes Jameis Winston could start if Dart is not cleared.
