   The New York Giants have fired head coach Brian Daboll and named Mike   
   Kafka interim head coach for the rest of the season.   
      
   The Giants are 2-8 and have lost four straight games. They are 11-33   
   (.250) since making the playoffs in Daboll’s first season as head coach,   
   and 20-40-1 (.336) over Daboll’s three-plus seasons as head coach. Only   
   Bill Arnsparger (.200), Pat Shurmur (.281) and Joe Judge (.303) have lower   
   winning percentages than Daboll among Giants full time head coaches.   
      
   This is the third straight season in which the Giants have been 2-8 after   
   10 games.   
      
   “We spoke this morning about the direction of our franchise on the field,   
   and we have decided that, at this time, it is in our best interest to make   
   a change at the head coaching position,” president John Mara and chairman   
   Steve Tisch said in a joint statement.   
      
   ”The past few seasons have been nothing short of disappointing, and we   
   have not met our expectations for this franchise. We understand the   
   frustrations of our fans, and we will work to deliver a significantly   
   improved product.   
      
   “We appreciate Coach Daboll for his contributions to our organization. We   
   wish the Daboll family all the best in the future.”   
      
   GM Joe Schoen and embattled defensive coordinator Shane Bowen will remain   
   in their jobs.
