WFAN Report Says Giants Nearly Fired Brian Daboll After Denver Collapse

A WFAN account of a near-dismissal after the Broncos loss has his status under scrutiny heading into Week 10.

Overview

  • WFAN host Shaun Morash reported that ownership moved to fire Daboll after the Week 7 game in Denver, where the Giants blew a 19-point lead, before reversing the decision.
  • Morash said general manager Joe Schoen opposed firing the head coach and claimed some inside the organization still favor a change.
  • Co-host Evan Roberts surmised John Mara pushed for dismissal, a characterization Heavy noted has not been independently confirmed.
  • New York is 2-7 with three straight defeats since beating the Eagles, and Daboll remains in charge entering the Bears game in Week 10.
  • The Giants ruled out six players for Sunday, per team reporter Dan Salomone, while Roberts said he could see a firing Monday if the performance in Chicago is ugly.
