Ex-Giants HC Brian Daboll defends Jordan Love after Troy Aikman’s harsh on-air comments – Giants fans react: “Brian Daboll wants to go to Green Bay.”

Green Bay, GB– November 11, 2025
The New York Giants have officially parted ways with head coach Brian Daboll after a devastating 2–8 start to the 2025 season — a collapse that left fans frustrated, the locker room divided, and ownership with no choice but to reset.
But even as Daboll’s tenure in New York ended in disappointment, the former Coach of the Year made headlines for something far more unexpected — defending Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love after Troy Aikman’s sharp on-air criticism during Monday Night Football.
Aikman, calling the Packers’ 10–7 loss to the Eagles, described Love’s recent struggles as “a regression from what you expect of a franchise quarterback.” Hours later, Daboll — speaking to a reporter outside MetLife Stadium after his firing — was asked about Aikman’s comments. His response turned heads across the NFL.

“People forget how hard it is to grow into that role,” Daboll said. “Jordan Love’s got all the tools — leadership, poise, intelligence. One bad stretch doesn’t define a quarterback. I’ve seen him work up close. He’ll be just fine.”

That remark — subtle, yet telling — immediately fueled speculation across social media that Daboll might be eyeing a move to Green Bay, where he once worked as an offensive assistant early in his coaching career.
Giants fans, still reeling from the team’s implosion, were quick to notice the tone of his defense. One viral post on X read:

“Brian Daboll’s out here talking like he’s already halfway to Lambeau.”

During his two and a half seasons with the Giants, Daboll compiled a 17–24 record, highlighted by a surprise playoff win in 2022 but overshadowed by regression in the following years. Sources within the organization described “mounting tension” between Daboll and the front office, particularly over quarterback Daniel Jones’ development and the team’s stagnant offense.
Despite his downfall in New York, multiple league insiders believe Daboll won’t stay unemployed for long — and that Green Bay could be a natural landing spot, especially if the Packers’ offensive staff sees changes in the offseason.
For now, Daboll remains silent on his next step. But his parting words about Jordan Love carried more emotion than many expected:

“When you’ve coached guys who really love the game, you recognize that fire in others. Jordan’s got that. Some people see mistakes — I see growth.”

Whether it was admiration or a hint at his future, one thing is clear — Brian Daboll may be gone from New York, but his next chapter might lead him straight to Green Bay.
