Giants Fire Brian Daboll as Mike Kafka Becomes Interim, Joe Schoen to Lead Search

Ownership assigned GM Joe Schoen to lead the coaching search despite ongoing scrutiny.

Overview

  • New York dismissed Daboll after a 2-8 start and multiple blown double-digit leads, including late collapses against the Bears and Broncos.
  • Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka was elevated to interim head coach, and he will coach his first game this week against the Packers.
  • Team owners John Mara and Steve Tisch praised a young core in a statement but are not making themselves or Schoen available to the media this week.
  • NFL insiders described Schoen’s retention as a mild surprise and questioned his long-term security given the franchise’s 20-40-1 mark since 2022.
  • Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has flashed promise (1,417 passing yards, 10 TDs) but exited the Chicago loss with a concussion after weeks of heavy hits and frequent sacks.
