New York Giants Become the First Team to Be Eliminated from Playoff Contention, Fans Call for Change
The New York Giants, after a 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, have become the first team to be eliminated from playoff contention, and fans are once again calling for change. This is not the first time the G-Men have faced the possibility of having a new head coach in the last 10 seasons, with Tom Coughlin having coached the team for 11 years.
Head coach Brian Daboll, who was named Coach of the Year after his first season, is not showing signs of worry about his job status. When asked about it, he responded bluntly, “No.” Daboll believes that the team should focus on improving their performance and results, rather than worrying about his job security.
Team owner John Mara has also expressed confidence in the coaching staff and doesn’t anticipate any changes this offseason, despite the team’s 2-10 record. However, with the Giants on a fast track to securing the number one pick in the draft, fans are growing restless.
Daboll’s job security was a topic of conversation again when he stated that there are more pressing matters to focus on, such as improving the team’s performance. He expressed confidence in his staff, coaches, and players, and is urging everyone to work hard to fix the issues that need to be addressed.
The Giants have struggled against their NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys, losing their last eight meetings and 20 of their last 24 games against them. The team has also started their third different quarterback in as many games, a stark contrast to the reliability of Eli Manning, who started every game for over 13 years without an injury absence.
As the team’s struggles continue, fans will be keeping a close eye on Daboll’s job security and whether changes will be made to try and turn the team around.
