Giants coach Brian Daboll is back — but maybe things will be different in 2025. Daboll, in Year 4, certainly hopes for more wins. So that would be a huge difference, coming off back-to-back debacle seasons of 6-11 and 3-14.

John Mara, however, retained both Daboll and GM Joe Schoen but issued directives that an improvement must take place immediately. Daboll is now entertaining a step back into a CEO coaching role, though the fourth-year Giants HC did not confirm if the idea of another shift was his or Mara’s.

The assumption, based on Brian Daboll’s demeanor and his messaging, was that he was going to be staying around with the Giants.
