"Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will step in as interim head coach for the remainder of the season. No other changes to the coaching staff are expected. Co-owner John Mara made it clear, following a disastrous 3-14 campaign in 2024, that this would be Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen's last chance to prove they can stick with the organization. Now that Daboll is gone, Schoen is out of scapegoats, as a ceaselessly retooling roster has been sabotaged by Big Blue's leadership."
"Following an 0-3 start with veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, a desperate Daboll turned to rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, who, alongside fellow rookie running back Cam Skattebo, revitalized the Giants with two wins in their next three games. But star wide receiver Malik Nabers got hurt in Week 4, and any momentum gained by those two wins was sapped by Daboll and his coaching staff, specifically defensive coordinator Shane Bowen."
"Sep 7, 2025; Landover, Maryland, USA; New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll looks on during the second quarter against the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Peter Casey-Imagn Images Brian Daboll's last stand lasted 10 games. The New York Giants fired their head coach on Monday, according to multiple reports, following another significant fourth-quarter collapse in a 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears, which dropped their record to 2-8."
Brian Daboll was fired after 10 games following a 24-20 loss to the Bears that dropped the Giants to 2-8. Mike Kafka will serve as interim head coach; no other staff changes are expected. Owner John Mara had warned after a 3-14 2024 season that Daboll and GM Joe Schoen needed to prove they could remain; Schoen now faces scrutiny. The team moved from Russell Wilson to rookie Jaxson Dart and rookie running back Cam Skattebo, briefly winning but then losing momentum due to Malik Nabers' injury and Skattebo's season-ending ankle dislocation. Defensive breakdowns, fourth-quarter collapses and Dart's concussion in Chicago produced a four-game losing streak and sealed the decision.
