Blogging The Boys
The New York Giants have fired Brian Daboll. They are the second NFL team this season to move on from their head coach as the Tennessee Titans dismissed Brian Callahan a few weeks back. It is a tough season to be a head coach named Brian… watch out Schotty.
New York is going to be looking for another head coach as they attempt to fix a franchise that has been in serious dysfunction for a decade and a half now. Nobody is casting stones from a glass house here, we all know the Cowboys have their warts, but it is objectively undeniable how moribund the G-Men have been.
The Brian Daboll era will be one that Giants fans try to forget, but it was one that we as Cowboys fans enjoyed quite a bit. Consider that Daboll led the Giants into seven games against the Cowboys and lost them all. For real.
There were certainly instances in which the Giants came close to beating the Cowboys under Daboll, most recently the first meeting between the teams this season. The record says 0-7 though and we are grateful to him for his service.
For what it’s worth the Cowboys still have a game remaining against the Giants this season and it will come in Week 18. Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka is reportedly going to serve as their interim.
