I’m someone who for a while has wondered why do first time coaches always see success in year 1 (Judge went 6-10 in year 1 but people liked how the team played down the stretch) only for it to crash and burn in year two and for the fans to rightfully want the head coach fired which it happened. Daboll had a lot of success in year 1, won a playoff game but like coaches past, things fell apart in year 2. However I don’t see much of the vitriol towards the team and the coach as in the past when the year 2 collapse happens. What do you think makes Daboll different than the other coaches that you feel comfortable giving him a longer leash to coach the team. Is it just a gut feeling or simply not wanting to fore another coach after two years? Also where does 2023 rank compared to 2021 and 2017? All three years had some expectations going in and those expectations cratered very quickly.
It’s that after the Gettleman era, this franchise has done a total reset with Schoen and Daboll. We need time for them to realize their vision and build the team. This can’t be done in two offseasons.
On top of that Daboll is a good coach and a good offensive mind. He’s shown what he’s able to do with less than average QBs and maximizing their talent. What he did with Jones last year, basically manufacturering a season around his deficiencies where the Giants had no choice but to re-sign him, should be testiment enough.
Daboll isn’t why this team has only 4 wins. Injuries, poor QB play, and lack of depth is. Let’s give them another 2 seasons and reassess then.
