The Giants fired Brian Daboll on Monday<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Here are five things that doomed his coaching tenure:<\/p>\n

Inconsistent QB play<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mostly with Daniel Jones, but with Drew Lock, Tommy DeVito and Russell Wilson as well, the Giants had brutal QB play under Daboll, a supposed QB-whisperer. <\/p>\n

He finally got his guy with Jaxson Dart, and though Dart has impressed, Daboll\u2019s reckless play calling eventually got Dart hurt. <\/p>\n

And still, there was not enough winning.<\/p>\n

Late-game collapses<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Giants have lost four games this year after leading by 10 points. <\/p>\n

It took a comedy of errors and miscues each time to lose.<\/p>\n

In-game decision-making<\/strong><\/p>\n

His decisions can certainly be questioned at the end of multiple late-game collapses this year. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Most recently, taking three points to go up 20-10 in the beginning of the fourth quarter instead of trying to score a touchdown on a potential fourth-and-goal from inside the 1-yard line against the Bears comes to mind.<\/p>\n

Icy relations with staff<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daboll and his first defensive coordinator, Wink Martindale, had a falling out and they parted ways after two years together. <\/p>\n

Martindale\u2019s replacement, Shane Bowen, has been a disaster. <\/p>\n

Daboll also stripped offensive coordinator Mike Kafka of play-caller duties before giving them back.<\/p>\n

Special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey was fired and Michael Ghobrial was brought in last year.<\/p>\n

A plethora of position coaches were replaced. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And the results largely stayed the same.<\/p>\n

Inability to stop seasons from spiraling<\/strong><\/p>\n

When things got bad the past three years, they pretty much only ever got worse and worse. <\/p>\n

That led to fan unrest, empty stadiums, or worse \u2014 MetLife Stadium being taken over by opposing fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Giants fired Brian Daboll on Monday.
