After a disappointing loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 13, the New York Giants find themselves with a dismal 2-10 record, effectively eliminating them from playoff contention. The decision to bench Daniel Jones and subsequently release him in order to avoid paying him and salvage the season has only added more scrutiny to Giants coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen. In the aftermath of this defeat, Daboll’s job security is now being questioned, especially considering his comments to the press.
According to Giants reporter Jordan Raanan on X (formerly Twitter), Daboll acknowledged that his players “competed all the way until the end,” but ultimately fell short of getting the job done. This admission has garnered immediate backlash from fans and further intensified the pressure on Daboll.
The Giants’ loss to the Cowboys marked a significant turning point in their season. As they walked off the field at MetLife Stadium, defeated by a score of 30-7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it became clear that their playoff dreams were fading away. The subsequent defeat at the hands of Dallas solidified their elimination from postseason contention.
Daboll described this trip as “disappointing” for the Giants, who were unexpectedly thrust into a rebuilding phase after starting Tommy DeVito and witnessing Daniel Jones join the Minnesota Vikings. However, it seems that even fans have grown weary of Daboll’s coaching staff, expressing their frustration on social media platforms.
One fan took to Twitter under the username @MikeKing00 and shared a meme featuring owner John Mara depicted as the Grim Reaper, symbolizing an imminent elimination of both Schoen and Daboll after already dismissing several other personnel.
Another user named @williamjbrowne simply stated, “Fire this clown,” while @hungarianspod expressed a more optimistic viewpoint, saying, “all good! work harder, make smarter plays and try again next year. It’s Thanksgiving, go grab some grub.”
Meanwhile, @M_A_Rozay pointed out the repetitive nature of Daboll’s postgame comments following losses. They humorously suggested that it could be the title of his new book: “Competed, but Didn’t Get It Done.” This observation resonated with other fans who also expressed their weariness with Daboll’s recurring disappointment.
“People should start keeping track of how many times DABOLL has said DISAPPOINTING,” tweeted @FirstSportz_NFL.
The dissatisfaction with the team extends beyond just the coaching staff. Fans are now questioning the high number of missed tackles and whether improvements in coaching and emphasis on fundamentals are necessary. One fan under the handle @GiantFanInGB directly asked if these issues were addressed with Daboll.
As the Giants continue to struggle and face mounting criticism, it remains to be seen how Brian Daboll will navigate these challenging circumstances. The pressure is on for him to not only salvage what remains of this season but also prove himself capable of leading the Giants to success in future campaigns.
