Giants Hire Bills OC Brian Daboll as Next Head Coach
News - January 29, 2022
“Following the conclusion of their abysmal 4-13 season, which marked their fifth consecutive double digit losing year, the Giants decided to completely clean house and press the restart button once again in their never ending quest to return to NFL prominence. Former general manager Dave Gettleman gave his retirement notice to the team at age 70 and after a four year stint that saw him finish with a 19-46 record and nothing to show for it but a depleted offensive line. Two losing seasons and a lot of phony press conference speeches later, Joe Judge–the culture guy–was relieved of his duties as Giants head coach, the third to be let go in a span of six years.
Likely having watched the success of their cross-state neighbors unfold for the past few seasons, the Giants knew they wanted their own pieces of Bills’ glory in their buildings to rebuild the team for next season and beyond. That said, the team went out on their general manager search first and landed Bills’ assistant GM Joe Schoen to lead their front office. A few days later, they’ve now recruited one of Schoen’s partners from Orchard Park to pair up in the effort to revive the Giants in 2022.
On Friday, the Giants hired Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll to become their next head coach, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter and the team’s announcement.
“My immediate goal is to assemble a coaching staff — a strong staff that emphasizes teaching and collaboration and making sure our players are put in the position to be their best and, ultimately, to win games,” Daboll said in a release. “That’s why all of us do this. To teach, to be successful, to develop talent, and to win.
“I have a pretty good idea where our fan base’s feelings are right now, and I get it. I promise we will work our tails off to put a team on the field that you will be proud to support and give us the results we all want.”
