Did the Giants fire Brian Daboll? Confusion spreads after viral post sparks chaos among frustrated New York fans

The New York Giants once again let a winnable game slip away, and this time, it came against the Chicago Bears. A late touchdown run from Caleb Williams sealed a stunning 24-20 loss for the Giants in Week 10, leaving their playoff hopes all but buried.

It was another night of heartbreak for New York fans who watched a 10-point lead vanish in the final minutes. The defeat marked the team’s fourth straight loss, dropping them to 2-8 and anchoring them at the bottom of the NFC East.The frustration reached boiling point when quarterback Jaxson Dart left with a concussion, forcing veteran Russell Wilson to step in. Despite his experience, Wilson couldn’t find enough rhythm to close out the game, as the Bears mounted a fierce late rally.

The collapse added fresh pressure on head coach Brian Daboll, who once again found himself at the center of job speculation that exploded online moments after the final whistle.

Did the Giants really fire Brian Daboll?

No — the New York Giants have not fired Brian Daboll. Rumors about his dismissal spread like wildfire on Sunday after a fake post on X claimed the team had parted ways with the head coach. The post, from the parody account Wesley Steinberg, fooled thousands of frustrated fans and quickly went viral, gaining over two million views and thousands of shares.

While no credible NFL insider has reported anything about Daboll being fired, the buzz reflects a growing discontent among the Giants’ fanbase. Team president John Mara reportedly considered firing Daboll after the Week 7 loss to the Denver Broncos, but the move didn’t gain enough internal backing. After another late-game meltdown, those discussions could easily resurface.When asked about his job status after the Bears game, Daboll told ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, “I’m just focused on these guys in the locker room.”

His response was brief but telling — a sign that the pressure is mounting. The Giants’ recurring collapses, coupled with questionable in-game decisions, have left ownership in a difficult position.For now, Daboll remains the head coach, but his seat has never been hotter. With another disappointing season unfolding and fan patience wearing thin, the Giants must soon decide whether they still believe in Brian Daboll’s vision — or if it’s time to start over once again.More NFL coverageDrama brews as Bill Belichick’s daughter-in-law seemingly snubs Jordon Hudson during UNC’s big winMystery deepens around Aaron Rodgers’ wife Brittani after shocking update before Steelers’ Sunday Night Football
