    Former Giants Super Bowl champ has harsh words for HC Brian Daboll

    New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll.

    The New York Giants are off to their second straight 1-3 start under head coach Brian Daboll after falling 20-15 to their division rivals the Dallas Cowboys on "Thursday Night Football."

    It marked Dallas's seventh consecutive victory over New York, and Giants players were not content with merely avoiding another blowout.

    That sentiment also extended to former Giants players, with Super Bowl XLVI champion Chris Canty expressing his frustration with the third-year head coach on ESPN's "Get Up" on Friday morning.

    "He's toast. He's done," Canty told host Mike Greenberg. "He's the biggest loser coming out of last night."

    New York has yet to score a touchdown at home this season, and Canty called out Daboll for failing to achieve this and for not being more aggressive on fourth down during the second half on Thursday.

    "Last night you point to an opportunity that you had, first drive of the second half, you got goal-to-go from your 3-yard line ... and you decide you're not going to go for it there, but you go for it three other times after that point in the game," Canty continued. "That was an inflection point ... that was a game-on-the-line moment and for a team that hadn't scored a touchdown at home yet this season, that was the opportunity to get in the endzone and you didn't get it done."

    New York is 16-21 under Daboll's leadership and has a 7-16 record without quarterback Daniel Jones under center, according to Statmuse .

    When asked about which of the two, if either, would be back at MetLife Stadium in 2025, Canty made a surprising prediction.

    "Daniel Jones has a better chance of being back next year than Brian Daboll does," Canty said to the amazement of the rest of the "Get Up" panelists.

    "[Daboll] is giving the Giants brass ammunition to move on from him after this season," Canty declared regarding Daboll's poor coaching decisions, including not dressing a backup kicker when starter Graham Gano was injured in the Week 2 loss against Washington.

    New York has 10 days before traveling to Seattle for Week 5, a game that will likely be a must-win for Daboll and company if they're to try and stave off any more hot seat talk.
