The New York Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll following Sunday’s 24-20 defeat against the Chicago Bears, the team told CNN on Monday.
The loss condemned New York to a 2-8 start through its first 10 games of the 2025 NFL season.
Daboll ended his time as Giants head coach with a 20-40-1 regular season record.
Mike Kafka, the Giants’ offensive coordinator, will take over as head coach on an interim basis, a team spokesperson said.
Team president John Mara and chairman Steve Tisch released a joint statement noting that it was in “our best interest to make a change” in moving on from Daboll and that the pair takes “full responsibility” for the results over the last three years.
“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,” the statement read.
Mara and Tisch said general manager Joe Schoen will remain with club.
