The team has the third selection in the NFL Draft, behind the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns, and may not have a chance to select this year’s top two quarterbacks in Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward.
One of the big issues this season was a lack of communication between coaches and players, according to the report.
It was a season that included fans flying banners with messages directed at ownership, benching starting quarterback Daniel Jones and cutting him days later.
The report also said the players like Daboll as a person but see signs that his program is not “destined for success.”
While multiple players were “surprised” about Daboll coming out, some said they were fine with it because Daboll is a player-friendly coach.
Apparently, multiple Giants players were also “surprised” about the team retaining Daboll, according to a report from ESPN.
Some players spoke of “being misled and left to dangle in the wind on issues, including their roles changing or snaps dwindling, without sufficient explanation.”
Instead of improving, they went further in the other direction, going 3-14 in what was supposed to be a celebratory 100th season for the franchise.
The players said the Giants head coach was open to feedback and incorporates a schedule that “hardly wears them down,” according to the report.
