The New York Giants have fired head coach Brian Daboll after Sunday’s defeat to the Chicago Bears, marking the team’s fourth straight loss.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport announced the dismissal of Daboll while reporting that offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will take over as interim coach.

The Giants led the Bears by 10 points in Week 10 before suffering a 24-20 defeat that leaves the team 2-8 and on course for a third straight losing season under Daboll.

He posted a regular-season record of 20-40-1 during his three-and-a-half campaigns with the Giants.

Daboll led New York to the playoffs just once behind a stellar 2022 season from quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Saquon Barkley. It was the first time the franchise had reached the playoffs since 2016.

He went on to guide the Giants to their first postseason victory since Super Bowl XLVI in 2012 when his team beat the Minnesota Vikings, before they were eventually halted by a 38-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

His impressive maiden season earned him Coach of the Year after a 9-7-1 record.

Sunday served as the second notable lead blown by the Giants this season after they led 19-0 and then 26-8 advantage against the Denver Broncos before succumbing 33-32 loss in Week Seven.

Daboll’s .336 winning percentage ranks 154th out of 166 coaches with 50-plus games since 1970.
