The list of head coaches for the New York Football Giants since venerable Tom Coughlin "stepped down," or, more to the point, was pushed out 10 years ago, does not exactly bathe this once-great franchise in glory.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart finally addresses the organization's decision to fire Brian Daboll as head coach.

In another timeline, the Saints hired Mike Kafka as head coach. Instead, he's taking over as the Giants' interim after they fired Brian Daboll.

Two head coaches have already been fired this season — Brian Callahan in Tennessee, and now Brian Daboll in New York. Things had gotten so bad with the Titans and the Giants, respectively, that their bosses couldn’t wait to shove them out the door.

Brian Daboll has a college football ace in his corner. On Wednesday’s episode of “The Pat McAfee Show,” legendary former coach Nick Saban endorsed his one-time Alabama offensive coordinator and ex-Giants head coach to take over at Penn State.

As perhaps the scariest job in the entire NFL empire, coaching is not for the faint of heart. It’s an occupation filled with epic victories and heart-shattering defeats, playoffs, losing seasons, and injured players.

In a search defined by misses and near-misses, the path back through the Bills may be what finally leads Penn State to its next coach.
