It's tempting to believe the New York Giants washed their hands of every problem the minute former head coach Brian Daboll was let go. A clean break always feels like a reboot. A new coach, a new voice, a new direction.
The issue is that the rest of the league doesn't exactly see it that way. Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic spoke with execs who have been inside these hiring cycles, and their message was not subtle. The dysfunction doesn't just leave that quickly. When a team fires a coach but keeps everything else intact, it opens the door for bigger questions.
