Giants Next Head Coach Odds – Who’s Favored to Succeed Daboll?

• Chris Shula is the favorite to be the New York Giants next head coach
• Brian Daboll was fired after losing eight of his first 10 games and Mike Kafka went 2-5 to finish the regular season.
• See the next Giants head coach odds below, plus my favorite pick to become head coach.

So, it feels like the New York Giants are starting over, sort of. The New York Giants will keep GM Joe Schoen for now. After their third consecutive losing season, New York appears to be moving on from interim head coach Mike Kafka. The Giants have had a winning record only three times since their last Super Bowl win in 2012. Now, the hot seat will turn on Schoen if he cannot find a sustainable solution. See Atlanta and why they are looking for a new coach and a General Manager.

Chris Shula gets the nod as the favorite. Now, he has a real chance here. Below you’ll find the complete set of next Giants head coach odds from DraftKings. After the table, I go into my favorite pick along with a contender or two to land the job.

Next Giants Head Coach Odds

Kubiak, the Seahawks OC, is getting a little buzz here in sports betting terms. After that, there are a few other candidates worthy of the accolades. Plenty of people wonder about Kliff Kingsbury. At +1600, the name makes a lot of sense. Another name or two to consider would have ties to the Giants of teams past. Steve Spagnuolo and Antonio Pierce are names that keep floating out there.

Shula’s resume puts him in the best position to turn around a team that needs massive direction on both sides of the ball. However, they need to truly get the offensive game in gear.

Shula’s Name Makes a Lot Of Sense Here

Every potential coaching candidate in this pool carries some risk. There’s no sure thing as teams will have to accept some imperfections while hoping for the best. Partially, that explains why so many candidates are bunched pretty close together. Some focus on the old connections while others believe this hire will definitely highlight the more offensive components.

The Giants just could not get the quarterback coach to work with the groceries on offense. There was no way in Hades the Giants were going to stand pat. It was also a reason why New York is so desperate to win some games and get close to a playoff spot.

Look at some of those offensive ranks. Yikes!

Giants Scoring Offense/Defense Ranks – Last 5 Years

Again, New York’s offense seemed to come alive when Jaxson Dart took over. Any potential head coach will have to get even more out of Dart while trying to figure out the offensive line and a more consistent 1A starting running game. That is the tip of the iceberg. Naturally, the defense is of some concern too. This is why a coach like Shula is importance. His concentration is defense but he knows a thing or two about offense. The family pedigree leads right up to Don Shula, his grandfather.

New York knows it needs to go in another direction. Shula has worked with the likes of Sean McVay. He has been with the Rams for eight seasons now and been the defensive coordinator for two years. Shula brings forth some new wrinkles on both sides of the ball.

Spagnuolo, Pierce Have Little Chance

New York needs a coach that a team can grow with. It is no secret. The Giants have seen too much turnover and mind you, it was warranted. The problem with Antonio Pierce and Steve Spagnuolo failed in their head coaching attempts. New York needs a coach that can get the most out of his players. Brian Flores would be an okay choice but there was all that baggage from his time with Miami. Would the Giants take such a risk?

There have been some changes but honestly Flores is still a ticking time bomb while Shula is just a little better here. He is worthy of a chance in New York. After all, nothing else has worked.
