Coaching Carousel Spins: Giants Fire Daboll After Playoff Berth

The 2025 NFL season has been marked by significant coaching changes, with the most notable being the firing of Brian Daboll by the New York Giants. Despite leading the team to a playoff berth in 2022, winning the Coach of the Year award, and drafting promising rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, Daboll was let go after a 2-8 start to the current season.

However, the article highlights several other coaches who have made impressive strides this year. Ben Johnson has been instrumental in the Chicago Bears' turnaround, guiding them to a 6-3 record and a potential playoff spot. Sean McVay has the Los Angeles Rams rolling at 7-2, with quarterback Matthew Stafford playing at an MVP level. Sean Payton has the Denver Broncos atop the AFC West with an 8-2 record, while Mike Macdonald has the Seattle Seahawks leading the NFC West.

The top spot on the list goes to Shane Steichen of the Indianapolis Colts, whose team surprisingly holds the AFC's No. 1 seed through 10 weeks. Steichen has been crucial in the development of quarterback Daniel Jones, leading the Colts' offense to league-leading numbers in points and yards per game.
