The Giants fell to 2-8 on the year with today’s loss to the Panthers. New York will now prepare for the bye week, a logical point in the schedule for changes on the sidelines to be made.
In spite of that – coupled with the Giants’ increasingly bleak prospects for the 2024 campaign – no such moves should be expected. Head coach Brian Daboll said after the game he remains confident in the team’s incumbent personnel. A turnaround in the win-loss column remains the obvious goal for the remainder of the campaign.
“I believe we’ve got the right people,”Daboll said when asked about the possibility of any changes being under consideration (video link). “Results aren’t there yet.”
The Giants entered Week 10 last in the league with an average of just 15.4 yards per game. The team did not help its average very much in that respect with a 17-point outing against Carolina. Quarterback Daniel Jones threw a pair of interceptions while in scoring range, a key factor in today’s loss. The sixth-year passer has not developed as hoped under Daboll, and it remains to be seen if he will be retained at the end of the campaign. Replacing Jones under center could be coupled with a new approach on the sidelines and/or the front office by way of moving on from general manager Joe Schoen.
Both Daboll and Schoen – in the midst of their third year together at the helm of the Giants – recently received a vote of confidence from owner John Mara. A postseason berth was not deemed mandatory ahead of the 2024 season, but improvement on last year’s 6-11 record was expected. Reaching that goal will be difficult as things stand, and executives around the league are skeptical the Daboll/Schoen pairing is firmly safe at this point.
New York has Mike Kafka (whose tenure has seen him handle and be stripped of play-calling duties) in place as offensive coordinator along with Shane Bowen in charge of the team’s defense. The latter is in his first year on Daboll’s staff, and he has overseen a strong showing in certain categories on that side of the ball. It would come as a surprise if major changes were to be made at the coordinator level based on Daboll’s remarks, although criticism will likely continue if the Giants maintain the status quo in terms of coaches coming out of their bye.
15.4 yards per game? That’s impressive
Giants entered the Munich game last in scoring average, 15.4 points per game. They’ll go into their open date #2 in the Tankathon behind only Jacksonville.
Yes they are, he just wasn’t informed yet
Might yourself part of a change lol
A good captain goes down w/his ship n this guy is riding it all the way …

Well, he just moved up on my “likely to be canned” list.
Makes literally no sense to keep running Jones out there. He’s not the answer and has an injury clause that will guarantee his salary next year. You are playing with fire by starting him. Bring in Tommy Cutlets.
Daboll is terrible and very few if any are playing for him or the team…they are just collecting a game check and hoping they don’t get hurt. Daboll will be gone as soon as the last game is done. Jones should be holding a clip board although I do think he is better than Anthony Richardson in Indy but that’s not saying a whole lot.
See what Lock can do … Buzz Lightyear is done.
The NFL should merge the Giants and Jets so that fans in NY and NJ only have to endure half as much suffering. Wholesale changes for both teams can be expected before next season.
Not even the running-on-fumes tabloids can cook up crack-addled s#!t like that.
It only becomes crack-addled if I recommend they put ChuckyNJ in charge 🙂
John Mara doesn’t know anything about football. The coach, GM, and QB have to go. In ‘25 draft a blue-chip QB, in fact draft ONLY offense, immediately give that new QB a big OLine, and fill those offensive holes with FAs. In ‘26 draft & sign defense.
