Giants Rumors: Bill Belichick Won't Replace Brian Daboll as HC After Patriots Exit

Former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick will not replace Brian Daboll as the New York Giants' head coach, per the New York Post's Paul Schwartz.

According to Schwartz, the Giants are not exploring the option to bring in Belichick, or a different coach, to replace Daboll, who just wrapped up his second season as New York's head coach.

Belichick spent more than a decade with the Giants from 1979 to 1990. During his time, he served as a special teams and defensive assistant, linebackers and special teams coach and defensive coordinator before leaving for his first head coaching job with the Cleveland Browns.

Belichick and the Patriots mutually decided to part ways Thursday, marking the end of his 24-year run as New England's coach.

Rather than pursuing the veteran Belichick, the Giants seem prepared to continue with Daboll. In his first season at the helm, Daboll led the Giants to the playoffs for the first time since 2016, losing in the divisional round to the Philadelphia Eagles. His 9-7 finish in his first year led to him being named the NFL's Coach of the Year.

He didn't find the same success in his second year, going 6-11 and missing the playoffs as the Giants struggled with stability at quarterback.

The Giants have the chance to bounce back and have success in 2024, having the No. 6 pick in the draft and the opportunity to add a big piece to the roster. With Daboll returning, it also gives New York some much needed stability after having four different head coaches since 2017.

While the Giants likely look back at Belichick's tenure in New York fondly, it seems they won't be gearing up for a return next season.
