In his first season with the New York Giants, Brian Daboll guided the group to the playoffs for the primary time since 2016 and led them to their first postseason victory since Tremendous Bowl XLVI.
That marketing campaign earned Daboll accolades from the Related Press, having been named the 2022 Coach of the 12 months.
However 2023 noticed vital regression from the Giants, highlighted by in-fighting and a partial coordinator exodus following a 6-11 end.
Most notably, studies surfaced suggesting Daboll repeatedly misplaced management of his feelings, lashing out at assistants, culminating in an unpleasant divorce from defensive coordinator Wink Martindale.
Due to the entire 180, each on and off the sphere, many have advised that Daboll will enter the 2024 season on the new seat. However retired Giants legend Tiki Barber thinks that’s all nonsense.
“It’s full and utter BS,” Barber stated on WFAN Thursday, through Audacy. “When you consider how properly this group performed, regardless of all the points, on the finish of the season, that’s teaching.
“There’s some pleasure that’s going to construct round right here and what Daboll can do with this group of expertise on offense, if Daniel Jones is wholesome. I believe the Giants might be good. They’re not gonna be horrible. . . it’s such disrespect to a group that’s coached exceptionally properly. There aren’t a whole lot of groups which might be coached exceptionally properly.”
If Barber is mistaken and the Giants proceed spiraling, it’s laborious to think about Daboll surviving even after co-owner John Mara stated he had “all the arrogance on the planet” in his head coach.
Honest or unfair, Daboll’s seat is heat and the way properly the group performs will decide how a lot hotter or cooler it will get.
