After the success head coach Brian Daboll experienced in his first season with the New York Giants, it seemed as though the franchise had finally found its long-term leader at the post.

The Giants have, of course, had a revolving door at head coach since the Tom Coughlin era ended in 2015.

Meanwhile, Daboll was recently listed among the bottom half of head coaches in the NFL following a dismal 2023 campaign. The pendulum continues to swing.

After being humbled in his second season and failing to return to the playoffs, all of a sudden, it feels as though a little stumble early in the season will land Dabes on the hot seat.

NFL analyst Conor Orr thinks the Giants would be wrong to consider moving on from their head coach if that were to happen.

“To me, it would be bonkers to go and fire another head coach before the duration of his contract,” Orr said on the Valentine’s Views podcast. “That would make it what, that would make it four in a row that didn’t get a second contract? I don’t think [Mara] is trying to do that, I really don’t. That’s just me talking, but I think he knows he has the right guy here.”

Orr is a believer in Daboll and has predicted that the Giants’ head coach will be in the running for the NFL Coach of the Year Award once again at the end of the 2024 season.

Daboll is known for his ability to groom quarterbacks, something you can see from his interactions with draft prospects on HBO’s Hard Knocks.

Daboll certainly got the most he could get out of his roster in 2022. After a down season, the Giants will look to rebound and get back to the playoffs this year.
