Giants' Brian Daboll on verge of losing locker room after disastrous start to season: report

Days after New York Giants Head coach Brian Daboll stared at a reporter after being asked if he was “concerned” about his job security, a new report suggests there may be some truth to those questions.

The Giants' 2024 campaign gets off to a rough start after their latest loss to the Washington Commanders Sunday. The team is now 0-2 for the ninth time since 2013.

“So again, what really happened 10 years ago or last year, as I’ve always said, really doesn’t have any bearing on anything this season,” Daboll said Monday. “I think we’ve made progress in a lot of areas. We’ve got to continue to improve on the things we’re not doing well right now and focus on the Cleveland Browns.”

But the road ahead looks tough for the Giants, and ESPN reporter Jordan Raanan reported Thursday that trouble is brewing in the locker room.

“I've talked to some guys over the last few days – a bunch of guys, a handful of guys – and some of them, not all of them, said it's starting to get volatile in there,” he said on the latest episode of “Breaking the big blue”

“Confidence in Brian Daboll is hanging by a thread… These are things that [the players] let's talk about the fact that their confidence in him is diminishing.

“This is about the most precarious situation I've seen in the locker room since 2017 when things fell apart over Ben Mcadoo,” he added.

Thursday's report follows rumors that wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has asked to be traded this summer. According to an ESPN report, sources said Hyatt said during a workout just before the season began that he would have to be traded if the Giants weren't going to use the second-year receiver.

Hyatt denied the reports, adding that he had “respect” for Daboll.

“I didn’t say that. I don’t know where that came from, but it’s not true,” Hyatt said. “I love being here. Joe, Dabs, I got so much respect for trading for me and getting me. So whatever that rumor is, it’s not true at all.”

The Giants will face the Browns in Cleveland on Sunday.
