The New York Giants’ season has officially turned into a full-blown reality show. Days after firing head coach Brian Daboll, a fresh report reveals that he almost demoted the very man who is now the team’s interim head coach—Mike Kafka.
According to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, Daboll didn’t just get angry… he exploded. The tipping point? A crucial third-down drop by tight end Theo Johnson during the game against the Eagles. And right then and there, Daboll allegedly threatened to strip Kafka of his play-calling duties. The referenced quote from the source sums it up:

Yes, that’s right. One dropped pass. One. And suddenly the offensive meeting room turned into a live episode of “Coach Tantrum Gone Wild.”
But the meltdown didn’t stop there. The Giants fell to 2–8 after blowing yet another double-digit lead in a 24–20 loss to the Chicago Bears. The next morning, the front office said “enough” and showed Daboll the door—then promoted Kafka, the same guy he nearly demoted, to interim HC. Irony level: New York Giants 2024 season.
Kafka’s background makes this even spicier. He joined the Giants as OC in 2022 when Daboll was hired, after spending five seasons on the Chiefs’ offensive staff. In 2024, he was even given the title of assistant head coach. And now? He’s running the whole operation.
The pressure on Kafka is massive. With seven games left, he has to prove he can stabilize the team, develop promising rookie QB Jaxson Dart, and show real improvement—something the Giants desperately need after weeks of chaos.
His first test as interim HC?
The Green Bay Packers (5-3-1) this Sunday.
No pressure, right?
Giants fans can only hope that Kafka brings actual football to the field—something that has been missing under Daboll’s late-season meltdown.
After all, nothing screams “NFL comedy” louder than:
The coach you threatened to demote becomes your replacement two weeks later.
