The New York Giants have fired head coach Brian Daboll following their 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Daboll had led the team since the 2022 season but could not deliver consistent results over his tenure.
His dismissal has sparked immediate speculation about potential replacements as the franchise searches for a new direction. Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III weighed in on the vacancy through social media on Monday. He suggested a candidate with strong ties to the college game and a history of offensive innovation.
“The New York Giants should hire Lane Kiffin,” Griffin posted on X.

Kiffin has become one of the most discussed names in football coaching circles over recent years. The 50-year-old currently leads the Ole Miss Rebels to a 9-1 record and keeps them in contention for the SEC Championship Game.
Since taking over the program in 2020, he has posted a 53-19 record while building one of the nation’s most explosive offenses around former Division II quarterback Trinidad Chambliss. His connection to the Giants carries additional weight beyond his recent success.
New York rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart played three seasons under Kiffin at Ole Miss before being selected 25th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. During that stretch, Dart accumulated over 10,000 passing yards and 85 total touchdowns while leading the Rebels to back-to-back top-15 finishes.
Kiffin’s only previous NFL head coaching experience came with the Oakland Raiders from 2007 to 2008, where he finished with a 5-15 record. His collegiate accomplishments since that stint have reshaped how he is viewed across the football landscape. His ability to design creative offensive schemes and develop quarterbacks makes him an intriguing option for any professional organization evaluating coaching candidates.
