Giants Fire Brian Daboll, Name Mike Kafka Interim Head Coach

GM Joe Schoen stays to lead the coaching search.

Overview

  • New York moved on at 2-8 one day after a 24-20 loss in Chicago that extended the Giants’ road skid to 11 straight and marked their fourth blown double‑digit lead of the season.
  • Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart entered concussion protocol during the Bears game in what reporters noted was his fourth evaluation since the preseason.
  • Owners John Mara and Steve Tisch called the results unacceptable in a team statement and kept the remaining coaching staff in place, including defensive coordinator Shane Bowen.
  • Daboll exits with a 20-40-1 record after winning 2022 AP Coach of the Year and delivering a playoff win, followed by a prolonged slide and repeated late-game collapses.
  • Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, 38, takes a seven‑game audition as interim head coach as Schoen oversees the search for a permanent replacement.
