Brian Daboll might be safe for now, but the New York Giants would surely be tempted to make a change at head coach if six-time Super Bowl winner Bill Belichick is available this offseason.

Belichick’s future with the 2-8 New England Patriots is in doubt ahead of Week 12’s home game against the Giants at Gillette Stadium.

The 71-year-old is struggling, but he remains an important figure in Giants history, having won two Super Bowls as defensive coordinator. He called some of the toughest defenses in franchise history, but Belichick won’t be returning to the Giants.

That’s according to NFL author Gary Myers, who revealed, “A return to the Giants? Not happening. They are almost certainly sticking with Brian Daboll. Belichick had an opportunity to return to the Giants in 2018 when it was getting messy in New England, but it didn’t get very far.”

Myers’ latest book, “Once a Giant A Story of Victory, Tragedy and Life After Football” focuses on the ’86 season, when the Giants won their first Super Bowl. Belichick’s ‘Big Blue Wrecking Crew’ defense allowed the second-fewest yards and points in the league.

He’s often spoken fondly of his time with the Giants, but it seems Belichick will opt for a different destination. Myers identified the Los Angeles Chargers as “favorites.”

Ironically, that would leave former Belichick protege Daboll in place for at least another season.

Bill Belichick Breaking Wins Record With Giants Would Be Fitting

Belichick has 331 wins to his credit, including the postseason, per Pro Football Reference. The impressive tally puts him just 16 short of Don Shula’s all-time mark of 347.
