Tom Brady will be a 'meddling' NFL owner who makes common mistakes before finding success

The Giants should keep Brian Daboll even if the season goes poorly

I think that Daboll is a good head coach. I don't think that they should fire him after this season. I think 'cause you have to make the choice. Right. Do do you clean house, maybe get a new quarterback and a new head coach at the same time? Or do you keep the same guy around and give him at least a couple years to work with your new quarterback? I actually like Brian Daboll enough to say that he should be their head coach.
