Fire Brian Daboll? Bench Daniel Jones? Giants fans speak out (loudly) in our survey | Results

Start packing, Brian Daboll.
Take a seat, Daniel Jones.
And this is on you, John Mara.
As the 2-8 Giants enter a bye week — a good time to pull the trigger on changes — thousands of Giants fans answered our survey after Sunday’s 20-17 overtime loss to the lowly Carolina Panthers in Munich.
And the results (as of 1 p.m. on Monday) are shocking, in a way.
While fans believe it’s time to fire head coach Brian Daboll: 65% say yes (33% now, 32% after this lost season ends), 35% believe he should be given more time.
Only a smattering of fans believe Daboll is the main culprit in the Giants’ fiasco.
When asked who’s mostly responsible for another failed season, fans say co-owner John Mara (36%), GM Joe Schoen (32%) and even former GM Dave Gettleman (26%) are more to blame for the Big Blue Blight than Daboll (12%).
Schoen hasn’t shown an ability to get immediate results, while the Giants watch once-struggling teams like the Lions, Commanders, Texans, Falcons and Cardinals change regimes and rocket to the top of the standings.
Gettleman, you’ll recall, drafted Jones and running back Saquon Barkley and never could fix the offensive line before he was shoved into retirement by Mara, who paid a steep price for hiring his incompetent buddy and setting the franchise back years.
There is one thing most Giants fans agree on, however: They’ve seen enough of Jones, the $160 million bust: 85% of Giants fans say they’d rather watch backups Drew Lock or former sensation Tommy “Chicken Cutlets” DeVito run one of the NFL’s worst scoring offenses.
That’s a landslide.
But will a quarterback change improve anything if Daboll is still calling the plays? The only Giants’ play-caller who has produced fewer points per game over the last seven years is interim offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens, who had Jake Fromm and Mike Glennon as his starters during a six-game span at the end of 2021.
After looking like the next great offensive mind during his four seasons with the Bills and QB Josh Allen, Daboll has reverted to the play-calling struggles he had with the Dolphins, Chiefs and Browns.
One more thing: Fans voted from all corners of the world, including the United Kingdom, Greece, Singapore, Germany and Japan.
