[Cosmo]

Schefter reporting the Giants have fired Daboll.

Totally forgot the Titans already axed Callahan.

 

[Chet Lemon]

It had to happen. I watched yesterday’s game. What a mess, from declining a penalty that would have give you first and goal at the 1 to having your 80-year-old back-up QB flinging the ball around with a 10-point lead.

 

[MileHigh]

Should have happened on the plane ride home from Denver.

Most do.

He should gone for it, but it was a too many men penalty, so it would have been 4th down and not 1st.

Dabol might very well find success elsewhere, but I don't know. I guess you have to be fantastically talented to work with this team.

OK, at least that makes a little more sense. I wasn’t even drinking! I think I just assume worst-case after a lifetime of Bears fandom.

I doubt it helps that Daniel Jones is good now.

True, but if you take him back out of the nearly ideal circumstances he has with the Colts, I have no doubt the old Daniel Jones comes out. We saw that when the Steelers got in his face last week and he imploded to the tune of five turnovers.

I think he is a very good offensive coordinator, but not a head coach.

 

[Webster]

I think it was mostly his own fault, but Dart taking massive hit after massive hit wasn’t sustainable.

Having Jonathan Taylor certainly helps.

 

[SixToe]

Some are great position coaches or coordinators and can make the jump to HC. Others should stick with being great position coaches or coordinators.

I guess you don't know until you give it a whirl.

 

[DanOregon]

I kind of hope Cleveland axes Stefanski, so we can see what he would do with a functional franchise. But I don't know if any functional franchises will have openings this year. It's crazy how eager the Giants were to get rid of of Coughlin, and then they finally get him out and they've whiffed on every hire since.

 

[Sam Mills 51]

Yes and no.

Yes in that Jones has had a couple of shaky weeks.

No in that Jones' running back in the Meadowlands was Saquon Barkley.

If Jones continues on the trajectory that he has been on in Indy, the Giants are going to look really bad for letting both Jones and Barkley go. Was it Daboll's offense? Was he not able to adjust from Josh Allen in Buffalo to Jones in Jersey? Was it something else?

 

[wicked]

I really think Stefanski is underrated. Getting that team to the playoffs in 2020 and willing them to a playoff win from his basement was impressive. Haslam cut him off at the knees with the Watson trade. And my hot take of Mayfield turning out to be a better bet than Watson came true.

There were a lot of people here in Chicago who would have liked to get him last offseason and rumor was he wanted to come here.

They didn't have the receivers or the offensive line he has in Indy.

One name being mentioned (at least on sports talk radio) is Steve Spagnuolo, talk about someone who is better suited to a coordinator and shouldn't be near a HC position.

Warren, especially. He is everything I thought he would be watching him at Penn State.
