Another branch off the Bill Belichick coaching tree has officially been chopped down.
After a 2–8 start to the 2025 season, the Giants fired coach Brian Daboll on Monday morning, mere hours after his team blew its fourth double-digit lead—and third in the fourth quarter—this year. His tenure in New York ends with a 21–41–1 record, highlighted by a postseason appearance in 2022 but ultimately defined by his team’s inability to close things out in tight games (and his front office’s decision to let running back Saquon Barkley walk in free agency, a discussion for another day).
