Giants’ Brian Daboll Is Emotional & He Is Okay Being This Way
Coach Brian Daboll of the New York Giants is a fiery individual who doesn’t hide his feelings, whether they are positive or negative. In the past, he has acknowledged that the heat of the situation sometimes cause him to snap a bit too readily, but that it’s not personal.
Giants’ Brian Daboll Is Emotional & He Is Okay Being This Way
When the Lions returned a punt 95 yards for a score on Friday night in Detroit, Brian Daboll and Thomas McGaughey, the Giants’ special teams coordinator, exchanged angry looks. Daboll was visibly upset.
Even if Daboll said a day later that it was a “non-issue,” the glare is still pertinent. However, anyone making too much — or even much at all, really — of any of this is excavating where there is nothing really significant to do.

Daboll, however, downplayed it.
“We’re all competitive, and we’re in a competitive environment,” Daboll said. “I hold everybody, not just T-Mac, myself, and everybody else to a high standard. Love T-Mac.”

Daboll has feelings. We all seen that during his first game as head coach. Daniel Jones failed miserably to connect with Saquon Barkley on a back-shoulder ball in the end zone as the Giants trailed the Titans 20–13. Amani Hooker had a simple task of intercepting the pass. There was no escape the new boss man’s wrath as Jones sat down on the bench. Jones stayed sat as Daboll yanked off his headset and fired at him, shaking his head in displeasure.

There is no reason to suspect Daboll, but even if a deeper conflict were to develop, it is likely that Daboll would keep it between himself and the offender. Due to the difficulties experienced by the special teams units last year, it is important to keep an eye on this scenario.
A day later, Daboll acknowledged that there are occasions when he watches his reactions and wishes he had more self-control.
If you guys think Brian Daboll is thinking, "Hey, it's just preseason," you're sadly mistaken he's a competitor and wants to win! That's what makes him my coach!! #NYGiants pic.twitter.com/DLuW5KR0y8

“I wear my emotions on my sleeve,” Daboll said. “At that particular time I just — not happy, and whatever I say, I say. And then I think I apologize later.”
Daboll, 48, is hardly new-age in his coaching philosophies, but he takes his responsibility as a connection builder seriously. Those who have played for him and coached with him are aware that he can get angry. By expressing himself fully, he was able to win the Coach of the Year title in the NFL. He won’t start suppressing it right away.
