The Brian Daboll hire looks great for the Giants, and ConorOrr says you can look at the opposite sideline Sunday for some simple proof
After clinching their first playoff berth in seven years Sunday, the Giants dumped sports drink all over the man who deserves to win the NFL Coach of the Year award. No one has done more with less than Brian Daboll in 2022. No one hired in these last few cycles has toiled on the unappreciated rungs of the coaching ladder for as long before being pegged as a guru or a genius worthy of a serious look.
But this hiring took a monumental effort we don’t often consider when it comes to the identification of successful football coaches. It required the Giants to bet against themselves, to look past a formula that had made them one of the most successful modern franchises and to gut an operation that comfortably thrived on a familial atmosphere. We have, but on a day like Sunday, it takes on a greater importance.
Somewhere along the way, though, the idea came not to take a coach and teach him the Giant Way, but to allow a new Giant Way to emerge naturally. In came Daboll and GM Joe Schoen from Buffalo, offensive coordinator Mike Kafka from Kansas City and defensive coordinator Don Martindale from Baltimore. From all of those places, the Giants got a sense of what they were missing out on—how other successful teams operate and how to find success in ways you may not have considered.
