Brian Daboll Makes First Public Appearance After Giants Dismissal

Brian Daboll made his first public appearance after his dismissal as head coach of the New York Giants. He was spotted in snowy New Jersey on a Tuesday, just a day after the surprising news broke. Daboll, 50, was seen bundled up in gray pants and a navy blue Penn State hoodie, leaving his residence.

Giants Part Ways with Brian Daboll

The Giants decided to part ways with Daboll following a disappointing 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears. This latest defeat marked another fourth-quarter collapse, a recurring issue for the team this season. The Giants co-owners, John Mara and Steve Tisch, addressed the fan frustrations in a joint statement. They acknowledged the team’s performance as disappointing and vowed to improve the product on the field.

Coaching Tenure Overview

Daboll’s tenure with the Giants was notable, highlighted by being named Coach of the Year after the 2022 season due to leading the team to the playoffs. However, his overall record with the team stands at 20 wins, 40 losses, and 1 tie over four seasons. The Giants currently hold a record of 2-8 for the third consecutive year, a situation that prompted this significant decision.

Interim Replacement and Management Stability

In the wake of Daboll’s departure, offensive coordinator Mike Kafka has been appointed as the interim head coach. Meanwhile, general manager Joe Schoen will retain his position, as he has been with the organization since being hired in 2022 alongside Daboll.

  • Daboll terminated in November 2025.
  • Giants currently 2-8 this season.
  • 20-40-1 record during Daboll’s tenure.

The New York Giants are now focused on a path to recovery, aiming to restore their competitive edge in the NFL.
