Giants hand Brian Daboll one final slap in the face on his way out the door

Loyalty is a double-edged sword — and for Brian Daboll, it just sliced the wrong way. The New York Giants officially fired their head coach on Monday after a 2-8 start, but in a move that feels more like a parting shot and an insult to Giants fans, defensive coordinator Shane Bowen is staying put.

As reported by The Athletic's Dianna Russini, no other staff changes are expected to be made at this time. Just when you thought they were turning the corner...

Oh, the irony. It felt like just a couple of weeks ago Daboll stood in front of reporters, assuring everyone there’d be no defensive play-calling changes — even after surrendering 33 points in the fourth quarter in Denver.
