It’s tough being the new boss and wanting to separate yourself from the old regime, especially when things weren’t working. Change is inevitable and natural, but too much of it too quickly can create unnecessary headwinds and problems. Just ask New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka.
Kafka got his first taste of head coaching life in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Despite not having four starters available — including his starting quarterback — he coached a solid game and put the team in a position to win. Since taking over for Brian Daboll, the 38-year-old has been making it clear he doesn't want to be another failed experiment, so he's been doing his best to separate himself from Dabs and his failed methods.
