Giants’ Brian Daboll not worried about job security amid lost season

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll says he’s not concerned about his job despite recording an 8-21 record since the beginning of 2023.

“No,” Daboll said when asked if he was worried about his job after the Giants’ 27-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.

“No, I don’t like the results. Nobody likes the results. But, again, I have confidence in the people. Just have to get better.”

The Giants are 2-10, tied with the Las Vegas Raiders for the worst record in the NFL this season. They are in line to select first overall in the 2025 NFL draft.

Last month, co-owner John Mara gave both Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen a vote of confidence. Since that day, the team has gotten progressively worse and is now becoming depleted due to injuries.

The parting of the ways with quarterback Daniel Jones last week took a lot out of the organization as has the blowback from the success of Saquon Barkley in Philadelphia.

Daboll is barely holding onto the locker room and it seems every move he’s made this season has backfired starting with him taking over the offensive play calling.

Mara said recently there wasn’t an “appetite” for firings, sticking to his guns about Schoen and Daboll’s job security, but the shot of him sitting all alone in a suite at AT&T Stadium on Thursday with that stern look on his face told a different story.

Since Tom Coughlin “parted ways” with the club after the 2015 season, the Giants are on their fifth head coach and third general manager.

Nothing’s changed. The firings had no bearing on the team’s performance. Although they’ve qualified for the postseason twice over that span, their overall record in the regular season is 50-92-1.
