Start packing, Brian Daboll.
Sit down, Daniel Jones.
And that’s on you, John Mara.
With the 2-8 Giants entering their bye week — a good time to pull the trigger on changes — thousands of Giants fans answered our poll following Sunday’s 20-17 overtime loss to the lowly Carolina Panthers in Munich.
The results (as of 1pm on Monday) were somewhat shocking.
While fans believe it’s time to fire coach Brian Daboll: 65% say yes (33% now, 32% after this lost season is over), 35% believe he should be given more time.
Only a few fans believe Daboll is the main reason for the Giants’ failure.
When asked who was mainly responsible for another failed season, fans said co-owner John Mara (36%), GM Joe Schoen (32%) and even former GM Dave Gettleman (26%) were more to blame for the Big Blue Blight than Daboll. (12%).
Schoen has not shown the ability to get immediate results, while the Giants watch previously struggling teams like the Lions, Commanders, Texans, Falcons and Cardinals change regimes and rise to the top of the standings.
You’ll remember that Gettleman drafted Jones and running back Saquon Barkley and was never able to fix the offensive line before being pushed into retirement by Mara, who paid a heavy price for hiring his incompetent friend and setting the franchise back years.
However, there’s one thing most Giants fans agree on: They’ve seen enough of Jones, $160M Bust: 85% of Giants fans say they’d rather watch backup Drew Lock or former sensation Tommy “Chicken Cutlets” DeVito run One of the worst scoring offenses in the NFL.
This is a landslide.
But would changing the quarterback improve anything if Daboll is still calling the plays? The only Giants play-caller to have produced fewer points per game over the past seven years is interim offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens, who had Jake Fromm and Mike Glennon as starters during a six-game stretch at the end of 2021.
After looking like the next great offensive mind during his four seasons with the Bills and QB Josh Allen, Daboll returned to the playing struggles he had with the Dolphins, Chiefs and Browns.
One more thing: Fans voted from all over the world, including the UK, Greece, Singapore, Germany and Japan.
