Head coach Brian Daboll speaks to the media following the Giants' Week 18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Interesting decision in the lineup.
You tell me who playing guard in the corner? Yeah, I wanted to give I wanted to give some of those guys some reps excuse to guard. Rolled him in with Stinny nude, gave him some reps at corner.
So have you gotten any bark from the ownership our fan?
Yeah, I talked to ownership all the time, so I'm sure we'll have another meeting here.
But I'm in constant communication with those guys discussion.
Will you be back here that Yeah, I'm sure we'll we'll talk here. Nation, Yeah, I'm sure, I mean we'll talk.
We'll talk.
I said what Yeah, I said, yeah, we'll talk. Yeah, like we talk all the time.
That wasn't he yet? And the answer was, yeah, we're gonna.
Fall Yeah, like we normally do. After games, we'll sit down and have a kindnversation.
But just but you have not yet as a discussion for your.
Future yet one more time?
Have you had a discussion yet?
Yeah, we're gonna we'll sit down and talk after the game here like previous to now, previous to now, have you spoken with Stephen John about Yeah, I speak to Stephen John all the time, so but after after the game, we'll sit down, you know, tonight tomorrow, and we'll have a conversation.
Have they have they is given you assurances that you'll be back for a fourth season?
Yeah, look, we'll have this. We'll have these talks here after the game tomorrow. I'm sure.
Now that it's over. I mean, how do you I mean, I don't know if you want to assess the whole season right now.
Instead it's game.
But have you was was this game? I mean it would be more or less to you the fact that you know, the last game, they're playing their backups, you're trying to win.
You know, what was your sense of what went out there today?
Uh?
I thought we had some opportunities, you know, a couple of critical errors, off side penalties. You know, he hit the one big play to Thelak, But other than that, efficient just not a lot of explosive plays.
They're down. Wasn't good enough?
Was the last two plays?
Is the last?
Try to think Malak was on the sideline? Why wasn't he out there?
Yeah, he ran he ran one route and then I put put the hide in there on a double move play.
Why why not leak out there.
To put high on a double move that we liked him on.
Malik was in and out throughout most of the game. What was the reasoning behind that?
He got banged up one time?
And then we're gonna roll Hiott and Sleigh in one deal and give all four of those guys work today form you get in the record, He got the record. No, I mean, I'm I'm make sure he gets catch it.
Well, we do that. We do that every week. Yeah, yeah, I mean we do that every week.
So was the most frustrating part of the season for you personally?
Well? Not enough wins? Not enough wins.
When you do meet going different? Poplay future over your message and why why you shouldn't be back upter coming off the season like that?
Yeah, I'll keep all that private.
Why do you think this program bad?
We don't see it.
Heading the red questions we've seen three fourteen. Why do you think they do head didn't.
Yeah, we're three and fourteen. But believe in the people, believe in our process. And again we'll have those conversations.
Do you feel like you need to make a case for your job.
No, Well, we'll have normal conversations like we normally do. Connor So got a good relationship with maryor family to Tish family Joe.
So we'll go through that process.
Dames, do you feel any I mean, last year was a disappointing year.
He didn't like the way things turned out yet six wins.
Do you feel any differently this year about your future and what you've done with this organization?
Yeah?
Yeah, I'm just focused on on the players and the coaches. You know, put a lot of work into it and obviously it didn't get good enough results.
Has Joe said anything to you, Brian about your future with him or how he feels about you?
Yeah, Joe and I have good conversations.
Those conversations will be private, guys, but there's good communication.
I'll say that.
When you anticipate having this conversations owing.
I usually have them after games the next days. Throughout the week, we talked quite a bit.
I would say, would you prefer this resolution, what's going to happen, what's not going to happen, to be figured out pretty quick so that it's not lingering a couple of days like so you know.
Everyone, Yeah, look, I mean we'll sit down like we normally do, have our conversations and you know, go from there.
You believe this team is better than this record.
You are what you are.
I coach Parcels used to say, going the next year, Yeah, we just we just ended this year here.
So disappointing loss today.
Do you think this program is done? And if you guys go.
And try to build something there, yeah, I'd say, look, just disappointed we lost here today.
You know it wasn't good enough.
What's your schedule with the players.
Tomorrow eight o'clock the team meeting. Are you concerned about your future here? No? Look, you do the best job you can.
Again, i'd say we have good conversations. Three wins not good enough, Pat, so a lot of work to be done.
Brian, do you leave here? I mean once you put this season to bed and I know you have the meeting tomorrow with the players, but your mind over the last couple of weeks, do you have an idea as to where do you think you guys need to go to get this where you need to be on the field.
Yeah, I'd say, Look, we're gonna have a lot of talks, art, I mean right after the last game. I'm not going to give you an answer to that right now. You know there's a lot of things we got to talk about, and i'bviously got to be better.
