00:00But let's flip it over to the New York Giants.

00:01They hit the spotlight yesterday.

00:03Why?

00:03Because Brian Dable is out as head coach of the Giants.

00:06Yesterday, I was on Newswire when that news broke with Craig Mish.

00:10We had some fun to talk about it in real time.

00:12What did you think, Joe, when that came down the timeline?

00:14You saw Brian Dable was out as the Giants head coach.

00:18Not shocking.

00:19I mean, we showed his press conference yesterday, right?

00:23Donnie, where on Sunday, I mean, he looked like it just defeated.

00:28And you knew it.

00:29I mean, not that he lost.

00:31Again, he's lost now four games this year, Donnie, in which he has had the lead.

00:37His team has had the lead late in the fourth quarter, where he had an over 95% chance to

00:44actually win the game.

00:46And he didn't win one of those games.

00:49Not to mention that, again, you didn't protect the future of your organization, your franchise

00:54quarterback in any way, shape, or form.

00:57You know, you got to go.

00:58And the Maris didn't want to fire him, Donnie.

01:01The time to fire him, everyone should have been after the Bronco debacle.

01:05But they didn't.

01:06They did not want to.

01:07If he wins one of those four games, Donnie, where they have the lead late in the fourth,

01:12he's still the coach today.

01:14He's still the coach.

01:15And you take a look, too, like the downfall of the Giants.

01:18And this is coming from a guy that I was live right here a couple of months ago in the early

01:22line going like, oh, my goodness.

01:23Like ESPN Bet just hung a three and a half on the Giants.

01:26Don't care how bad they are.

01:28You should be able to stumble in the four victories.

01:30They have a couple wins, Joe.

01:31But quite frankly, they should have way more wins than this.

01:34Look at the losses the Giants suffered.

01:35Up three points there with 14 seconds to go against the Cowboys.

01:38End up losing that game, I believe, in overtime.

01:40Then you take a look at a horrible Saints team.

01:43You're on the road with a 14-3 lead, and you can't come away with that win.

01:47Then you have the game where the Denver Broncos didn't even score a point through the first

01:51three quarters, and you had a multi-touchdown lead.

01:53You let that one get away.

01:54And then last week, 20-10 final, or excuse me, 20-10, you're up late in the fourth quarter

01:59against an inept offense for the Bears, and you lose that game, too.

02:03So even if you look and say, well, a bad football team, at least two of those four games

02:06should have been wins.

02:08And we talked about it yesterday saying, how do you line up with Brian Dable?

02:11Yes, it is on the players a lot, but that's a pattern, and that's a head coaching pattern

02:15where you have the lead, and you can't just coach these guys to the finish line, Joe.

02:19No, and for whatever reason.

02:22But I mean, we've talked about it, right?

02:24Dysfunction, leadership not working.

02:27He has been under the gun.

02:29I mean, this is a guy that inherited Daniel Jones and not a whole heck of a lot else,

02:34but somehow managed to get him to the playoffs and win a game, manages to win coach of the

02:39year a couple of years ago.

02:41And from that point on, it's been absolutely, it looks like, he looks like a man that the

02:46pressure of the New York media market and having to win is absolutely destroyed.

02:51And I thought by getting, you know, having Jackson Dart now as the future, that the Mara

02:58family and the Giants organization would have backed and said, listen, you're our guy to

03:02help us, you know, bring this kid along and be our franchise quarterback.

03:06And instead, it all collapsed, and it collapsed in a hurry, too, Donnie.

03:11Absolutely crazy.
