Giants Fire Head Coach Brian Daboll as Mike Kafka Takes Interim Role

Owner John Mara called the move necessary after repeated disappointing seasons.

Overview

  • The team announced the dismissal on Monday with New York at 2-8, marking a third straight year with only two wins in the first ten games.
  • Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka was appointed interim head coach through the end of the season.
  • General manager Joe Schoen remains in his role and will oversee the search for a new head coach.
  • Sunday’s 20-24 loss to the Bears, in which the Giants surrendered a 10-point lead with four minutes left, was cited as the immediate trigger.
  • Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart left the Bears game with a suspected concussion and backup Russell Wilson struggled to generate offense.
