00:00Brian Dable, the New York Giants head coach for the past couple of seasons, fired.

00:05Today, as this team has made the move away from Brian Dable,

00:09that has also been followed with reports that they're not really looking to make other moves,

00:14meaning Joe Shane likely staying as the general manager, at least for now.

00:19The New York Giants were up double digits,

00:22something that has actually been a little bit more common than you would think for a two-win team this year.

00:27But what is not uncommon is they still proceeded to lose that football game to the Chicago Bears, 24-20.

00:36This game did flip, though, when Jackson Dart left injured with another concussion.

00:42Russell Wilson didn't table at the end of the day.

00:46You got to call it like you see it, Joe.

00:49Your reaction to what the New York Giants did here.

00:51Yeah, it was a long time coming.

00:52You know, three games you could pull out, in particular, Dallas-Denver,

00:57and the loss against Chicago that really, you know, made Brian Dable's fate and sealed it with that loss.

01:03I mean, you have basically a 10-point lead in the second half and allow it to slip.

01:08The defense allowed Caleb Williams to come from behind.

01:11I call him Streetball Williams in the fourth quarter because he was improvising,

01:16but just making plays and really putting the Giants' defense on their heels.

01:20And, again, this team hasn't played for four quarters, Kev, throughout the year.

01:26I mean, they were inconsistent.

01:28They had some nice wins, the Philly win, but they couldn't back it up.

01:32Jackson Dart is there, but this team needed a change,

01:35and then they made the proper decision for the second half of the season.

01:38I think this is a really tough decision.

01:41Oh, come on.

01:42I think this is a really tough decision.

01:45Because I think I've been a bit of a Dable guy.

01:49At the end of the day, I thought what he did in the opening year with Daniel Jones

01:55should have been applauded and understood.

01:58He didn't hand Daniel Jones that contract, which was a full nightmare,

02:02regardless of what he's doing in Indianapolis right now.

02:05Now, things were rocky following that season,

02:08though Daniel Jones spent most of the time after the year they won a playoff game injured.

02:13Jackson Dart is the guy, Joe.

02:16Would you agree with that?

02:17Absolutely.

02:18Everybody seems to feel that way.

02:20Well, he's Brian Dable's guy.

02:22Not even Joe Shane's.

02:23Brian Dable banged the table and said Jackson Dart is the guy,

02:28and you got the quarterback right because of him.

02:31And these losses were heartbreaking, and they mounted in a way where I'm not killing the Giants for what they did.

02:39I'm not.

02:40But I don't think this is an easy decision, and I don't think this is a layup decision.

02:45Because you don't often find QB head coach marriages that work easily and immediately.

02:54And this one did.

02:55Dart loved Dable, and Dable loved Dart, Joe.

02:57And is that not what matters?

02:59No, it's not what matters, Kev.

03:01So what matters?

03:02What matters is wins and losses, and he had more losses than wins,

03:05and he wasn't a good in-game manager.

03:07He couldn't coach up this team.

03:08That's true he wasn't an in-game manager.

03:09And I'll just say this.

03:11He did coach him up.

03:12He did coach him up.

03:13He didn't coach him up.

03:14No, he coached him up.

03:15He coached him up in year one.

03:16He coached him up.

03:16He over-exceeded expectations.

03:17They were catching four and a half, covered the number.

03:20So you know what?

03:20He's great.

03:21He's elite.

03:22Well, he covered you.

03:23I mean, that's what you always tell me.

03:24Covered against Denver.

03:25Keep the Philadelphia Eagles outright.

03:27Your Super Bowl darling.

03:29Here's the thing, Kev.

03:30I'm just saying.

03:31But wait a second.

03:31Brian Dable, he's another coach that's a better coordinator than he is a head coach.

03:38And we talk about the defensive coordinators that have failed.

03:41Eber, Flus, Vic Fangio.

03:43Sure.

03:44Right?

03:44We can go on and on about the defensive talent that they're better.

03:47Dennis Allen, they can only coach one side.

03:50Well, guess what?

03:51He wasn't even coaching the offensive side.

03:53They weren't consistent offensively.

03:55They had no offensive identity.

03:57And you're telling me that Brian Dable didn't bang the table to get Russell Wilson?

04:02I don't think he did.

04:03What was the whole point of that?

04:05Oh, that was a huge mistake as well.

04:06What about Jameis Winston?

04:08I agree they should have let Jameis out there throwing the ball around.

04:11He might still have a job.

04:11But they got two guys.

04:13They totally messed this up from the get-go this year.

04:16I mean, again, I agree with that.

04:17Darts should have been your week one starter.

04:18They might be a 500 football team if he was.

04:20It's possible.

04:21But again, that's on Dable too.

04:23But I think in this league, Joe, you're right.

04:26Wins matter when you're supposed to win.

04:27Otherwise, when you're in a situation, you're hoping that you have the quarterback, right?

04:31And all that matters for the Giants is do you have the quarterback?

04:34And everybody seems to think yes.

04:36And Dable's – listen, I understand it was not year number one for Brian Dable.

04:41But if it was, people would be saying, I promise you this combination is going to get it figured out.

04:46Give them time.

04:47They're going to get it figured out.

04:48Malik Nabors out for the year.

04:50They're going to get Scadaboo out for the year.

04:51Yeah, but even when –

04:52Defense is a sieve.

04:53Even when they had neighbors in there last year, the only game they broke out was against the Colts.

04:58Sure did break out, though.

04:59And that was the one that could cost them the number one overall pick.

05:01Outside of that, though.

05:02You want them to win or lose.

05:03With all of Brian Dable's ingenuity and all of his big game offensive explosiveness with Buffalo and Josh Allen.

05:11Where was that for four seasons with the New York Giants?

05:14Well, it was with Jackson Dahl.

05:15They had juice.

05:16They – you just – you were on the Giants to over-exceed expectations.

05:20I was, and they didn't.

05:21But he wasn't the coach.

05:23He wasn't the coach.

05:24He coached them down into the dirt.
