John Mara’s patience is again being tested
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll is “coaching for his job” over the final seven games of the season, according to FOX Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
The Giants are 2-8 this season and on Monday Daboll announced that fan-favorite Tommy Devito will replace Daniel Jones as the team’s starting quarterback.

While ownership has suggested he’ll return, there is a growing sense that #Giants HC Brian Daboll is coaching for his job over the final seven games.
After leading the Giants to a 9-7-1 record, winning a playoff game, and being named Coach of the Year in 2022, things have not gone well for Daboll. Co-owner John Mara famously warned Daboll of the dangers of going from “Bono to Bozo.”
The Giants are 8-19 over the past two seasons.
NFL insider Adam Schefter said on the Pat McAfee Show that he still believes Daboll and GM Schoen are safe, at least for the rest of the season.
“I believe they’re safe right now. John Mara came out and said that they were going to be safe. I think that they are, right now, going to be safe.
Schefter also said:
“This ownership wants to believe in continuity, wants to not make any changes. That’s what they’re planning to do. Could their plans change? Sure. But I don’t believe they’re planning right now to change the head coach and the GM.”
