The New York Giants reached their breaking point with Brian Daboll.
The team on Monday fired the embattled head coach, one day after a 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears, in which New York held a 10-point lead with four minutes remaining, dropped the franchise to 2-8 on the season.
Daboll finishes his tenure with the organization with a 20-40-1 record in three-and-a-half seasons. His career mark is the worst of any Giants coach who led the team for at least 50 games.
Associate head coach and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka takes over as the interim head coach.
"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 disappinting, and we have not me our expectations for this franchise. We understand the frustrations of our fans, and we will work to deliver a significantly improved product.
