Just in: The Head coach of Giants Brian Daboll, is sacked as a result of domestic violence with…
The 46-year-old Daboll, the former offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills, will take over for Joe Judge, who was dismissed by the Giants on Friday night following a 4-13 campaign.
Following a search spearheaded by newly appointed general manager Joe Schoen, the Giants selected Daboll from among six formal contenders. For the position, the Giants conducted interviews with Daboll, Leslie Frazier of the Bills, Brian Flores, the former head coach of the Miami Dolphins, Dan Quinn of the Dallas Cowboys, Lou Anarumo of Cincinnati, and Patrick Graham of the Giants. On Thursday, Quinn, the former Atlanta Falcons head coach, withdrew from consideration.
In a statement issued by the organization, Schoen stated, “We spoke with a number of amazing coaches, all of whom will have even greater success in this league in their current roles and as head coaches. Having said that, ownership and I agreed that Brian is the best candidate to lead our team as head coach. I have had the opportunity to personally witness Brian’s leadership qualities over the past four years. He is a highly skilled communicator, as well as intelligent, inventive, and diligent. Brian has a refreshingly warm and sincere personality. He cultivates connections with the coaches and players in his vicinity. His vision is progressive, and he appreciates teamwork—two qualities we believe are critical. I am ecstatic to collaborate with Brian.
