Daboll topped Sean McDermott of the Bills, Doug Pederson of the Jaguars, Kyle Shanahan of the 49ers, and Nick Sirianni of the Eagles.
Daboll came to the Giants from the Buffalo Bills, where he was credited with developing Josh Allen into a superstar quarterback.
The Giants had lost double-digit games every season from 2017 until 2022. They finished 9-7-1 and third in the NFC East, earning a Wild Card spot.
Daboll and the Giants also downed the Minnesota Vikings in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs.
