I am probably Daboll's biggest supporter on BBV. Have been since day he was hired. Meanwhile 99% of BBV, Mara and Schoen scapegoat Daboll for absolutely all of the Giants failures. He didn't turn DJ into Mahomes, he won a damn football game and we lost #1, we didn't go to SB in Year 2. Schoen is a great GM, Daboll is the problem blah, blah blah.
"In 2022, his first season in the position, Schoen's retooling of the front office, hiring a standout head coach and restructuring the roster resulted in the Giants finishing with nine regular-season victories - five more than in 2021 - earning their first postseason berth in six years and winning their first playoff game since 2011."
Mara identified and hired Schoen to be the Giants savior. I started writing early and often after Schoen's first draft the Giants would decline exponentially as his impact on the roster accumulated. Mara empowered his Mini Me Schoen to do absolutely anything and be accountable to no on. Give the worst QB in the NFL $100 mill GTD, not problem, go find another one. Deliver one of if not worst NFL rosters 2 years running, no problem. Nabers looks like a keeper. Every BBV writer, member Schoen and Mara blame Daboll. You are what your record says you are. The roster you're given to compete with is irrelevant. The Owner and GM force you to start the worst QB in the NFL for 2 years so what? The Owner and GM run the Giants not the damn HC and the assts he's hired who have failed to develop the NFL's best draft picks 3 years running. Daboll has to go and now is the time. Bears have openly said they will trade draft picks for a HC.
Mara has bet his legacy on Schoen who has only made 2 mistakes. Hiring Daboll and giving DJ $100 million. Actually Schoen only made 1 mistake. Daboll's insensitivity, yelling at DJ left him with PTSD and ruined him.
Here's a selection of Mara's answers to reporters questions after the decision.
