After an impressive first season that saw him named AP Head Coach of the Year, Brian Daboll watched his New York Giants regress significantly in 2023. A slew of injuries at multiple positions and some strife among the coaching staff resulted in disaster on the field.
Daboll largely reassembled his staff this offseason and enters Year 3 with increased pressure to perform.
If the Giants start slowly or fail to improve from a season ago, there’s some belief — especially in Vegas — that Daboll’s seat will hot in short order.
Touchdown Wire’s Jarrett Bailey ranked all 32 head coaches in the NFL, including Daboll. Let’s take a look at where the Giants’ head coach landed.
