Firing Brian Daboll was justified, the results were bad. However, for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Giants</a>, that means they now have to go and find a new head coach that guides this franchise to success. They have now provided an update that might shock fans.



According to NBC Sports, a source close to the Giants’ front office says the team hasn’t discarded going out and trading for another head coach. This is not a common thing to do, in fact, it’s unpopular, but the Giants are desperate.



After <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daboll</a>, the Giants know they need to nail this decision, as they do have a competitive roster and plenty of young talent to develop. As a matter of fact, it’s not an unappetizing job. 



<h2>The Giants must focus on bringing an offensive mind</h2>



The three best talents the Giants have right now are offensive players. Quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jaxson-dart" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jaxson Dart</a>, running back Cam Skattebo and wide receiver Malik Nabers. Hence, the new head coach must be an offensive savant to the highest of levels to develop the young talent they have. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251123_BUS_532322_jaxson-dart_f6f87b5f.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Jaxson Dart #6 of the New York Giants" class="wp-image-522164" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Jaxson Dart #6 of the New York Giants</figcaption></figure>



Names like Bills’ offensive coordinator Joe Brady, Colts’ offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, and Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman are some of the most notable names. However, none of them would need a trade to happen.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/ny-giants-star-not-jaxson-dart-sends-a-warning-to-the-nfl-as-regular-season-enters-its-last-stretch"></div>


<h2>How does a trade for a head coach work?</h2>



When a team trades for a head coach, it’s different than trading for a player. In this case, for instance, the Giants contact the team that employs the targeted coach. Then, the team must want to engage in a deal to negotiate the rights for said coach. The final step is that the coach has a say on whether he wants to leave or not.



This is different from player trades, where the player has no say and can’t deny the trade. Coaches get more power in that way. Hence, if the coach doesn’t want to go, the trade doesn’t happen.

NY Giants provide key update on HC search after firing Brian Daboll

The situation surrounding New York Giants rookie Abdul Carter took center stage this week after Dan Duggan of The Athletic reported that he was benched for the opening snaps of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a> vs Green Bay game. The disciplinary move came after Carter missed a team walk-through earlier in the week. According to Duggan, Carter had been “asleep at the facility,” though the player disputes that characterization.



Interim head coach Mike Kafka made the decision immediately in his first week running the team. Kafka didn’t hesitate to enforce discipline, making it clear that accountability would not be optional. Carter acknowledged his mistake, saying, “I made a mistake during the week that was detrimental to the team… that was the consequence, so I had to live with it.”



Duggan also reported that being late to meetings had become a trend throughout Carter’s rookie season, something former head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll">Brian Daboll</a> “often let slide.” That history of leniency set the stage for this week’s firmer response.



<h2>Carter disputes part of the story</h2>



Carter pushed back, insisting he was not asleep. Posting on social media, he wrote, “Was not sleep, actually doing recovery… nonetheless that’s on ME!” His message acknowledged accountability while challenging the narrative around the incident.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Abdul Carter Week 10 NFL Highlights | All Snaps Vs Bears" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QigU03SIDO8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



Despite the benching, Carter returned immediately after the Giants’ opening defensive series and played every snap for the rest of the game. Through his rookie season, Carter has totaled 23 combined tackles, 12 solo, along with 9 quarterback hits, with his best game coming against the Eagles when he posted five tackles.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/washington-commanders-make-drastic-decision-with-matt-gay-after-loss-to-dolphins"></div>


The incident marks a notable moment in Carter’s first year, especially as the Giants transition from Daboll’s leadership to Kafka’s. Whether this becomes a turning point or another chapter in a rocky rookie season remains to be seen. But as Duggan’s reporting made clear, this was an issue building for months and one the new staff is no longer willing to overlook.

Brian Daboll’s reportedly overlooked issue with a rookie returns to haunt the NY Giants

Brian Daboll’s reportedly overlooked issue with a rookie returns to haunt the NY Giants - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">New York Giants</a>’ season so far hasn’t lived up to expectations, to the point where the organization’s top decision-makers ultimately fired Brian Daboll from his position. On top of that, injuries have been one of the team’s biggest setbacks throughout the campaign.



Cam Skattebo burst onto the league this season, and his performance had raised hopes for a breakout year. However, a severe injury a few weeks ago not only sidelined the rookie for the remainder of this season but could also impact part of what’s ahead.



To the surprise of fans and critics alike, the former Arizona State running back took to social media with a major injury update, offering reassurance to Giants fans and hinting at a very positive recovery.



“I could like get pretty far honestly… I’m getting better every day. Every day, chat, it’s getting better,” Skattebo said via @camskattebo. While there’s still no certainty about a potential return, these statements suggest that his recovery is progressing as planned.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251115_BUS_527371_cam-skattebo-1_0a3e4d43.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Cam Skattebo" class="wp-image-527388"></figure><figcaption>Cam Skattebo #44 of the New York Giants.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>What injury did Skattebo suffer?</h2>



New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo’s promising debut season has come to an abrupt and devastating end after he suffered a severe lower body injury in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Skattebo was carted off the field after sustaining a dislocated ankle, a fibula fracture, and a ruptured deltoid ligament. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/bill-belichick-breaks-silence-on-ny-giants-rumors-with-firm-statement-to-unc-on-potential-nfl-return"></div>


The injury was severe enough to require emergency surgery in Philadelphia shortly after the game. The fourth-round pick had been a bright spot for the Giants, accruing 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns along with 207 receiving yards and two scores through eight games. While his 2025 campaign is over, the Giants are optimistic he will make a full recovery and be ready for the start of the 2026 season.



<h2>Daboll’s departure</h2>



The New York Giants have fired head coach Brian Daboll, moving on from him midway through his fourth season after the team fell to a disappointing 2-8 record. Despite being named NFL Coach of the Year in his first season (2022) after leading the Giants to the playoffs, the team’s performance plummeted over the past two years. 



The final straw came after the Giants blew yet another double-digit lead in a loss to the Chicago Bears, which marked their fourth such collapse of the season. Offensive Coordinator Mike Kafka has been named the interim head coach.

Giants receive significant injury update on one of their stars following Brian Daboll’s departure - Bolavip US

The New York Giants made headlines on Monday by firing Brian Daboll, in a decision that could impact the rest of the NFL. It could even affect <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a> and Patrick Mahomes, with a Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach seen as a potential candidate for the head coaching job in NY.



While the <a href="https://www.giants.com/news/brian-daboll-relieved-of-duties-mike-kafka-to-serve-as-giants-interim-head-coach">Giants have initially named offensive coordinator Mike Kafka as their interim head coach</a>, they could still look for a permanent head coach next year. With that in mind, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network believes Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo would be a name to watch.



Spagnuolo, who turns 66 in December, has played an instrumental role in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a>‘ success with Reid and Mahomes, helping the team win three Super Bowls since taking charge of the defense in 2019.



His name tends to be linked to head coaching openings when the NFL hits the offseason, and it wouldn’t be a surprise for this to happen again if the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a> search for an outside candidate.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251112_BUS_525341_Steve-Spagnuolo-1024x576_d335e053.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Steve Spagnuolo of the Chiefs looks on prior to Super Bowl LVII. " class="wp-image-109181" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Steve Spagnuolo of the Chiefs looks on prior to Super Bowl LVII. </figcaption></figure>



Not only is Spagnuolo a respected coordinator in the league, but he also has experience working with the Giants. Before winning multiple Super Bowls with Reid and Mahomes in Kansas City, he earned a ring in NY.



<h2>Steve Spagnuolo’s experience with the NY Giants</h2>


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/mike-tomlin-steelers-cut-2x-super-bowl-champion-with-andy-reid-patrick-mahomes-chiefs-to-bring-back-familiar-face"></div>

 

 


In his first gig as a defensive coordinator in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>, Spagnuolo helped the Giants upset the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. New York’s defense held Tom Brady’s offense to just 14 points, preventing Bill Belichick’s team from completing a perfect season.



Spagnuolo’s work with Tom Coughlin in NY allowed him to earn an opportunity as a head coach in 2009, helming the St. Louis Rams until 2011. After stops with the New Orleans Saints and the Baltimore Ravens, Spagnuolo returned to New York for a second stint with the Giants in 2015, holding the defensive coordinator job until 2017. He finished that season as the Giants’ interim head coach, with the team going 1-3 on his watch.



It might be a bit early to tell how serious the possibility of a reunion is, but the risk could exist for the Chiefs at the end of the season. Teams usually look at successful coaching staffs to name their next head coach, and Spagnuolo has been a coveted name around the league in recent years.



<h2>Reid, Mahomes already lost a Chiefs coach to Giants</h2>



Reid and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Mahomes</a> know how lucky they are to continue having Spags on the coaching staff, as Kansas City has seen a number of coaches leave to work elsewhere in recent years.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251112_BUS_525341_mike-kafka-1_6120e393.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Mike Kafka before a Giants game" class="wp-image-523986"></figure><figcaption>Mike Kafka has been named interim head coach of the New York Giants.</figcaption></figure>



Kafka was one of them, as the Giants hired him as offensive coordinator after his contribution to the Chiefs’ offensive success. A former quarterback who played under Reid on the Philadelphia Eagles, Kafka reunited with Big Red in Kansas City to start his coaching career in the NFL in 2017.



Kafka initially joined the Chiefs as offensive quality control coach, earning a promotion to quarterbacks coach for Mahomes’ first year as starter in 2018. The success of that decision led the Chiefs to trust Kafka with more responsibilities, handing him the passing game coordinator duties in 2021.



Kafka went on to help <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll">Daboll</a> revitalize the Giants’ offense in 2022, with the Giants eventually adding him the assistant head coach title two years later. Now, his role as interim HC could be an audition to earn the permament job in NY. If the Giants like what they see, they may not need to target Spagnuolo. But if Kafka isn’t the solution, then Reid and Mahomes could face a real possibility of losing their DC.

Turbulent times in the Big Apple, following the firing of Brian Daboll as head coach of the New York Giants. On top of that, a new concussion suffered by Jaxson Dart has raised an interesting question about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a>’s situation heading into what’s next.



Mike Kafka was named the team’s interim head coach, and in an intriguing first move, he designated <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jameis-winston">Jameis Winston</a> as the franchise’s QB2 — giving him a real chance to see some action in the upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers.



The news was reported by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> insider Jordan Schultz, who, through his official X account (formerly Twitter), shared details of this major decision by Kafka — one that directly impacts Russell Wilson.



“The Giants, under new HC Mike Kafka, are elevating Jameis Winston to the No. 2 QB which puts him in line to start on Sunday vs the Packers should Jaxson Dart not be ready due to his concussion. Jameis time in New York.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251112_BUS_525013_jameis-winston_d58deeec.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Jameis Winston" class="wp-image-525028"></figure><figcaption>Jameis Winston #19 of the New York Giants.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>The Jaxson Dart situation</h2>



New York Giants rookie quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jaxson-dart">Jaxson Dart</a> has officially entered the NFL’s concussion protocol following a head injury sustained during Sunday’s loss to the Bears. Dart was a crucial part of the offense before exiting, leaving his availability in doubt for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Packers.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/sean-mcdermott-reveals-if-brian-daboll-could-return-to-bills-after-giants-firing"></div>


The promising young signal-caller will have to clear all required medical steps before being permitted to return to the field, making his status for this week’s game highly uncertain.

<h2>A new era on the Giants</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">New York Giants</a> have abruptly fired head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll">Brian Daboll</a>, parting ways with the 2022 NFL Coach of the Year after a deeply disappointing 2-8 start to the season. The decision came just one day after falling to the Chicago Bears, the team’s latest heartbreaking loss, which sealed Daboll’s fate as ownership seeks an immediate change to salvage the franchise’s direction. Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka has been named the interim head coach.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-mcdermott">Sean McDermott</a> was as clear as possible when asked whether Brian Daboll will have an opportunity with the Buffalo Bills, effectively saying no. For now, the head coach will remain without a job following his recent exit from the New York Giants.



The report was shared by Ari Meirov on X: “HC Sean McDermott said adding Brian Daboll to their offensive staff is not under consideration right now.” Fans reacted to the post with mixed emotions, some opposing the move and others arguing the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills">Bills</a> desperately need the help.



For those who don’t recall, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll">Daboll</a> was with the Bills from 2018 until 2021 as the offensive coordinator. That was his last job before joining the Giants in 2022. He obviously worked alongside McDermott and is very familiar with the system they run in Buffalo.



<h2>How successful was Daboll with the Bills?</h2>



During his time as offensive coordinator, Daboll helped the Bills reach the playoffs three times in those four years he was with the franchise. His most successful year came in 2020, when the team reached the AFC Conference Championship Game before losing to the Chiefs.



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">“This is a mistake by the New York Giants.” Dan Orlovsky believes former HC Brian Daboll and Jaxson Dart “had something going together.” <a href="https://t.co/OPOm5typEr">pic.twitter.com/OPOm5typEr</a>— ESPN (@espn) <a href="https://twitter.com/espn/status/1987988718737662077?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 10, 2025</a></blockquote></div>



<h2>Daboll could find work quickly</h2>


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/sean-mcdermott-net-worth"></div>


Daboll is not just any coach; he is a veteran who holds five Super Bowl rings as an assistant coach. He also won the AP NFL Coach of the Year award in 2022 and has a CFP championship as an assistant coach with Alabama. Therefore, finding a job will not be difficult for him.



Should he fail to secure a job in the NFL, he is likely to find an opportunity in college football, given his success with Alabama in 2017. Perhaps the only negative factor general managers might consider is his 20-40-1 record as the head coach of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a>.

The headline story of the day in the NFL undoubtedly comes out of the Big Apple, following the dismissal of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll">Brian Daboll</a> as head coach of the New York Giants. For now, Joe Schoen will remain in his role as the team’s general manager.


 


In a statement released through the <a href="https://www.giants.com/news/brian-daboll-relieved-of-duties-mike-kafka-to-serve-as-giants-interim-head-coach">team’s official website</a>, Giants president John Mara and chairman Steve Tisch addressed the reasons behind the franchise’s decision to make this significant move.



“We spoke this morning about the direction of our franchise on the field, and we have decided that, at this time, it is in our best interest to make a change at the head coaching position,” they said.



“The past few seasons have been nothing short of disappointing, and we have not met our expectations for this franchise. We understand the frustrations of our fans, and we will work to deliver a significantly improved product. We appreciate Coach Daboll for his contributions to our organization. We wish the Daboll family all the best in the future.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251110_BUS_524052_john-mara_5d665b41.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="John Mara" class="wp-image-524057"></figure><figcaption>John K. Mara, owner and CEO of the New York Giants.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Schoen remains in his position</h2>



Joe Schoen was another key figure who found himself in the spotlight after yet another loss for the team. Ultimately, the general manager will remain in his position, at least for the short term.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/giants-fire-brian-daboll-what-was-his-record-and-contract-in-ny"></div>


“We feel like Joe has assembled a good young nucleus of talent, and we look forward to its development. Unfortunately, the results over the past three years have not been what any of us want. We take full responsibility for those results and look forward to the kind of success our fans expect,” John Mara explained, as quoted by Ari Meirov.

<h2>Getting back on track</h2>



Following the swift mid-season firing of Brian Daboll, the 2-8 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">New York Giants</a> are in full-blown damage control, turning to offensive coordinator Mike Kafka as the interim head coach.



With a once-promising season derailed, Kafka’s immediate and daunting task is to inject life into the league’s lowest-scoring offense and somehow restore player confidence in the locker room. 



While a playoff push is all but mathematically impossible, the organization desperately needs Kafka to salvage respectability and identify viable future talent over the final weeks to prevent a total organizational collapse.

The New York Giants’ latest loss to the Chicago Bears, their eighth of the season, did not sit well with the front office, which made the sudden decision to fire head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll">Brian Daboll</a>.



According to a recent report from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll">NFL</a> insider Ian Rapoport, the team’s current offensive coordinator, Mike Kafka, will take over as interim head coach. Who were the other coordinators working alongside Daboll this season?



On the defensive side, Shane Bowen has been serving as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a>’ defensive coordinator, while Michael Ghobrial holds the role of special teams coordinator. Joining them is the already mentioned Mike Kafka as offensive coordinator.



The reporter Diana Russini stated via her X account, that there are currently no additional changes expected within the franchise. “No other staff changes are expected at this time in New York, sources say. GM Joe Schoen and DC Shane Bowen will stay in their current roles for now, while Mike Kafka replaces Brian Daboll.”

<h2>Daboll’s numbers with the Giants</h2>



Brian Daboll’s era with the New York Giants ended abruptly after a collapse following a promising start. Across four seasons, Daboll compiled a regular season record of 20 wins, 40 losses, and 1 tie. 



His tenure was highlighted by his 2022 NFL Coach of the Year campaign, where he led the team to a 9-7-1 record, securing its best finish as a Wild Card team and achieving the franchise’s first playoff win in 11 years.



However, the subsequent years saw a sharp decline, with the team managing only 11 total wins over the next three seasons before his reported firing midway through the 2025 campaign at a disappointing 2-8 record.

Brian Daboll fired: Who is replacing the HC and who else is on the NY Giants’ coaching staff? - Bolavip US

It was one of the worst kept secrets in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> but it’s now official. For the third straight year, the New York Giants are 2-8 and that prompted the team to fire Brian Daboll mid-season. But is this a hurried decision? What was the record the team had under him and how much money was in Daboll’s contract?



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Giants</a> hired Daboll three and a half seasons ago. From 2022 to 2025, the Giants have a 20-40-1 record. They only had one winning season, where they ended 9-7-1 and went all the way to the Divisional Round in the NFL Playoffs.



As for his contract, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daboll</a> signed a five-year contract in 2022 with an annual salary of $5 million, adding up to approximately $30 million. After three and a half years, he is done.



<h2>Daboll will get the bag for the next two years</h2>



Doing quick maths, Daboll will earn $666,667 per month until the contract with the Giants expires. That also equates to $153,425 per week and $21,918 per day. It’s an insane amount of money for someone who was let go due to poor results.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="631" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251110_BUS_523972_briandabolljpg_242310155-1-1024x631_c90d5229.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=631" alt="Brian Daboll, former head coach of the New York Giants" class="wp-image-211950" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Brian Daboll, former head coach of the New York Giants</figcaption></figure>



It wasn’t all fault of Daboll. For instance, the Giants were underdogs in 56/63 games in Daboll’s tenure. He also had Davis Webb, Tyrod Taylor, Tim Boyle, Tommy DeVito, Drew Lock, Daniel Jones, Russell Wilson, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jaxson-dart" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jaxson Dart</a> as quarterbacks. He was dealt a very bad hand, but ultimately he wasn’t able to steer the ship in the right direction.

<h2>The 2025 Giants have also been unlucky</h2>



Yes, the team is 2-8. Yes, the team blew four games late in the fourth quarter. That is coaching. Still, the luck has not been on the Giants’ side. Early in the season, they lost world class receiver Malik Nabers. A couple of weeks ago, they lost running back and rookie sensation Cam Skattebo as well with an ankle injury. Now, their other rookie sensation, QB Jaxon Dart, is in concussion protocol.



It’s been a storm of bad luck mixed with bad coaching and even a passionate, hard-working guy like Daboll couldn’t find solutions. He will get suitors from other teams, but likely as an offensive coordinator rather than as a head coach.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Giants</a> are trying to salvage their season and at this point, every new thing could be welcomed. As they prepare for a game against the Chicago Bears, head coach Brian Daboll might use a new name to help them win the game alongside quarterback Jaxson Dart.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daboll</a> said on Thursday that the team is getting kicker Younghoe Koo ready to be the kicker against the Bears. Why? Other kicker Graham Gano is dealing with a neck injury and hasn’t practiced in the week so far.



Gano missed four games already due to a groin injury. However, the Giants used Jude McAtamney instead of Koo back in those games. McAtamney was waived by the team as he missed two extra points against Denver. 



<h2>Koo will play for the first time since Week 1 </h2>



Koo was one of the best kickers in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. He was an absolute menace for the Falcons from 2020 to 2023. However, he started dipping in 2024 and after a Week 1 debacle this season, the Falcons cut him.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251106_BUS_522161_Younghoe-Koo-has-lost-his-job-in-the-Falcons-1024x576_3d7f4d41.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Younghoe Koo might debut for the Giants" class="wp-image-491292" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Younghoe Koo might debut for the Giants</figcaption></figure>



Still, Koo is arguably more reliable than 80% of the kickers in the NFL. The fact that no one gave him a chance prior is really strange, but Koo can prove doubters wrong with a good performance.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jaxson-dart-gives-clear-uplifting-message-to-new-york-giants-skill-players-after-cam-skattebos-injury"></div>


<h2>The Giants need a good kicker</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bears</a> have won three one-possession games this year. Thanks in part to having a good kicker. The Giants has lost three games by 10 or less points. Kickers are the difference.



Gano has been good, scoring nine out of 10 field goals. However, his injuries have cost him games and of course, affected the Giants. Koo could easily become the starting kicker if he stays healthy and proves himself as a reliable weapon.

Brian Daboll, Cam Skateboo, and the Giants have been fined by the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> after it was confirmed that they violated the concussion protocol during the game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The sequence was highly controversial, as the head coach was caught trying to pressure the medical staff to give Jaxson Dart clearance to return to the field.



“The NFL and NFLPA concluded that the Giants violated the protocol when Head Coach Brian Daboll and running back Cam Skattebo entered the medical tent and spoke with Mr. Dart before his evaluation was complete, creating the perception that they were interfering with Mr. Dart’s exam. While the parties agreed that Coach Daboll’s and Mr. Skattebo’s actions had no actual impact on the exam or the care that Mr. Dart received, their conduct was inconsistent with and demonstrated a disregard for the concussion protocol’s requirements and therefore constituted a violation.”



In that Week 6 game, the Giants got a big 34-17 victory over the defending <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> champions. However, the amount of money handed out in fines by the NFL is massive.



<h2>Who got fined by the NFL?</h2>



Brian Daboll was fined $100,000 for attempting to interfere with the concussion protocol while Jaxson Dart was being evaluated in the medical tent. Additionally, the NFL confirmed that Cam Skattebo and the Giants were also penalized.


 

 


“As a result of the parties’ finding that the club violated the concussion protocol, the Giants were assessed a $200,000 fine. Separately, the NFL fined Coach Daboll $100,000 and Mr. Skattebo $15,000 for conduct detrimental to the league.”

Week 7 of the NFL delivered one of the most thrilling games in recent memory. The New York Giants had what looked like their third win of the season in the bag — but in the final minutes, everything unraveled. The Denver Broncos capitalized, snatching the victory away from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll">Brian Daboll</a>’s squad.



Blowing an 18-point lead in the final six minutes of the fourth quarter is something no playoff-aspiring team can afford in this league. Unfortunately for the Giants, the heartbreak was complete with this stunning collapse at Mile High.



Daboll now faces the challenge of lifting a locker room that was left shaken after the loss — but there’s no time to dwell on it. This Sunday, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a> head to Philadelphia for a crucial NFC East showdown against the Eagles.



“Well, that’s what you need to do, but there are certainly a lot of guys that are hurting right now,” Daboll said, via a <a href="https://www.giants.com/news/quotes-10-20-coach-brian-daboll-ot-andrew-thomas-ilb-bobby-okereke#:~:text=DABOLL%3A%20Well%2C%20that&apos;s%20what%20you,and%20we%20came%20up%20short." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">transcript from the team</a>. “Some physically. But they gave everything they had and we came up short.

“That was a tough one, make no mistake about it, but you’ve got to get back on your horse and get ready to play a very talented team that we just played two weeks ago. Look at the things that we didn’t do quite as well and we’ll get onto Philadelphia with the right mindset.”

<h2>No room for mistakes</h2>



The Giants are facing a must-win stretch as the season progresses, with their playoff aspirations hanging precariously in the balance. Following a series of disappointing performances, the team’s margin for error has all but vanished. 



Simply put: the New York Giants must string together victories immediately, beginning this week, or they risk watching the NFC playoff picture drift permanently out of reach. 



Each remaining game now takes on the weight of a postseason contest; failure to maximize their win column will quickly solidify a losing season and mark a premature end to their chase for a spot in the tournament. The time for the Giants to play their best football is now.



<h2>What’s next for the Giants?</h2>



Looking to somehow improve their record and claw their way back into NFC East contention, these are the upcoming matchups awaiting <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jaxson-dart">Jaxson Dart</a>’s team — games they absolutely must win to avoid letting the season slip away.

NFL News: Brian Daboll makes something clear after Giants’ tough loss to Broncos - Bolavip US

The NFL has officially launched an investigation to determine whether head coach Brian Daboll’s actions interfered with the league’s concussion protocol during the game between the New York Giants and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a>. 



In the third quarter, Jaxson Dart was taken to the medical tent for evaluation, and when Daboll saw that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a> was struggling on offense, he rushed over to pressure the medical staff into giving his rookie the green light to return.



Now, a report from Adam Schefter confirms that the entire sequence is under review and, as a result, fines or disciplinary actions could follow. “NFL said it initiated a review of the application of the concussion protocol involving New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart during last night’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. That review will be conducted jointly with the NFLPA under the parties’ collective bargaining agreement.”



<h2>Did Jaxson Dart have a concussion?</h2>



Jaxson Dart was evaluated during the Giants vs. Eagles game to determine whether he had suffered a concussion. Eventually, after spending a few minutes in the medical tent, he received clearance to return to the game.


 

 


However, another report from Jeremy Fowler indicates that, although Brian Daboll was able to get Dart back in the game, his actions could end up costing him dearly. “Both Brian Daboll and the Giants could face discipline, depending what is found, per source.”

It’s been an uphill season for the New York Giants, even after making a midseason quarterback change. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jaxson-dart">Jaxson Dart</a> took over under center following a poor start by Russell Wilson, and now he’ll need to lead the team past the Philadelphia Eagles to secure a crucial win and get the season back on track.


 


Unfortunately for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll">Brian Daboll</a>, the Giants’ offense could take a significant hit, as there’s a strong chance that Darius Slayton will miss this crucial matchup at MetLife Stadium.



The news was reported by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> insider Jeremy Fowler, who announced the potential absence through his official X account (formerly Twitter), marking a significant blow for New York.



“Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) is not expected to play Thursday vs. Eagles, per sources,” he reported via @JFowlerESPN. “Hamstring on a short week is tough. Will be out barring surprising uptick.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251008_BUS_505179_darius-slayton-1024x576_2322fba2.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Darius Slayton" class="wp-image-505220" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Darius Slayton #86 of the New York Giants.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>How much do the Giants lose without Slayton?</h2>



The New York Giants’ struggling offense has taken another severe blow with the news that wide receiver <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/darius-slayton">Darius Slayton</a> is not expected to play in the upcoming Week 6 game against the Eagles. Slayton had already been elevated to the WR1 role following the season-ending injury to Malik Nabers.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-jaxson-dart-offers-strong-self-critique-after-giants-loss-to-saints"></div>


Through the first five games of the 2025 season, Slayton was the team’s third-leading receiver, hauling in 12 receptions for 166 yards with a solid 13.8 yards per reception, despite not having a touchdown. 



His absence, particularly on a short week, leaves the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a> without their top two receivers. With the team sitting at a 1-4 record, rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart will be forced to rely on Wan’Dale Robinson (23 rec, 267 yds) and tight ends as the remaining receiving options face a daunting task against their divisional rivals.



<h2>Key losses in the Giants’ WR room</h2>



In a crushing blow to the New York Giants offense, star wide receiver Malik Nabers has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after an MRI confirmed a torn ACL in his right knee. The second-year Pro Bowler suffered the non-contact injury against the Chargers and has been placed on season-ending injured reserve. 


 


Nabers was quickly emerging as the premier target for rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, and his absence leaves a massive void in the team’s passing attack as the Giants must scramble to adjust their game plan and rely on a depleted receiving corps for the rest of the year.

The New York Giants’ first win of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season came, interestingly, after benching Russell Wilson and putting their trust in Jaxson Dart. The rookie had an exceptional game against the Chargers, even overcoming the tough injury suffered by one of his top weapons, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/malik-nabers">Malik Nabers</a>.


 


Joy was evident in the words of the former Ole Miss player who, despite securing his first win as a professional in the league, didn’t forget about his teammate, immediately dedicating a heartfelt message to him.



“Malik is — I’ve said it — Malik’s one of one,” the talented quarterback said. “When you have a guy like that on the field, you have all the confidence in the world that he can just be a dominant game-changer.



“But I thought from that moment, obviously, it’s really hard seeing one of your best friends go down, but we were able to rally, and I thought guys made some good plays. But, obviously, prayers to him.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250929_BUS_500448_new-york-giants-2-1024x576_e01393ee.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Giants win vs Chargers" class="wp-image-500470" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Teammates huddle around Malik Nabers #1 of the New York Giants.</figcaption></figure>



“You hate to see your teammate, your brother, go down and look in pain like that,” Dart also added. “But I’m just going to be praying for him, and I’ve got his back through it all.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/video-malik-nabers-exits-giants-vs-chargers-with-apparent-knee-injury"></div>


<h2>What happened to Nabers?</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">New York Giants</a>’ worst fears were confirmed Monday as an MRI revealed that star wide receiver Malik Nabers suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his right knee during Sunday’s victory over the Chargers. 



The devastating non-contact injury immediately shutters the 2025 campaign for the explosive young playmaker, dealing a catastrophic blow to the Giants’ offense and significantly impeding the development of rookie quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jaxson-dart">Jaxson Dart</a>.



Nabers will now begin a long rehabilitation process with an eye toward returning for the 2026 season.



<h2>Other weapons for Dart in the Giants’ offense</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/malik-nabers-injured-vs-chargers-giants-wr-depth-chart-for-jaxson-dart-in-2025-nfl-season">Giants’ WR depth chart for Jaxson Dart in 2025 NFL season</a> is suddenly thin, thrusting Wan’Dale Robinson and veteran Darius Slayton into the spotlight as the team’s top receiving options. 



The former Kentucky player is the most likely candidate to become the primary target for rookie QB, having already shown solid production from the slot.


 


Slayton provides a proven deep threat on the outside, but New York will also desperately need 2023 third-rounder Jalin Hyatt to finally step up and utilize his elite speed to fill the massive void left by Nabers’ catastrophic injury. The rest of the wide receiver room will need to collectively elevate their game to keep the offense from stalling.
