Looks like the Daboll era in NY is done. Seems to be he will be looking for a new job. What are you thoughts on that El Dirty?
Well. More and more, I have to question John Mara's ability to live up to Wellington's greatness.
To be super clear on this season, the Giants have given up what may end up being a historic number of games when winning in the 4th Quarter. The 4thQ collapses of this team while winning appear to be approaching legendary. We also lost a game where we scored 37 Points and have multiple missed kicks to blame. The reality is, with a Defense that could actually hang on and just perform basic function in the 4th Q, and a Special Teams group that also didn't miss MULTIPLE extra points in a single game, this 2-8 Giants Team could and should very easily be 8-2 against what was called the toughest schedule in the NFL at the start of the season.
Net, the problem is NOT the Offense. The Front D Line is considered one of the best, if not THE BEST in football on paper. Roster errors not having enough Kickers on the Special Teams squad when Graham Gano got hurt gives the hairy eyeball to the Head Coach, but I mostly blame Special Teams Coach Mike Ghobrial. Defense Coordinator Shane Bowen needs to be terminated back into College Sports.
Daboll was hired as a QB Whisperer for bringing the BIlls back to relevance with his development of Josh Allen. He was a QB Guy and an Offense guy, and he came to the team with the Daniel Jones albatross around his neck. His first Season in New York, he shocked the world with a stunning run into the Playoffs that no one expected.
After a 5 year playoff drought, nobody expected them to make it into the Divisional round in 2022. What nobody saw coming, is that Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley are both Tryflowers and were both in a contract year that 2022 Season. Both did a tryflower special and gave everything their had, and dragged a terrible O-Line with limited receivers into the divisional round. DJ got a contract, Saquon overvalued himself and got a 1 year that he wanted to fight about, and then got picked up by Philly. Aas Tryflowers do, they went into their typical cycle of mediocrity when nothing is on the line for them to prove. Saquon got a new deal in a new City that he gave his guts for, which is starting to peter out now, and Jones is now doing the same in Indy this year.
That is a tough break for a Head coach to have to manage out of the gate. Now that he has his own QB, things really have gotten started to get running on the Offense and I wish they had let Dabs run with it.
My preference, Fire Shane Bowen as your sacrificial lamb, hire NYG Superbowl Hero Antonio Pierce as your DC, IMMEDIATELY, and watch this team begin to dominate once Dart gets back form the Concussion Protocol.
With Dabs out, I don't know if the Offense can continue to blossom under the OC, Mikey Kafka, so I guess the jury is out there, but the rotating coaching schedule is a sure fire way to manage a team into uselessness.
In Dabolls 4 years coaching, this is the first where he really had his own guys. I think they should have let him use that for another season. With The Skatman having his foot torn off and now Dart goign down and out, the fanbase wants blood, but I think Mara made the wrong sacrifice, much as he did with Tom Coughlin. It should have been Shane Bowen.
You know how I can tell you were never in the military or on a real team sports program?
