“I think with Coach Dabol, and what they are doing, and that staff, and (new GM) Joe Schönen, because of something happening around the facility, the atmosphere has changed,” Manning said. Told NFL Network on Friday. “So I’m excited for Daniels, I know he’s put in a lot of hard work, and you know, a lot of offense, a lot of coaching changes, so hopefully it can go right.”
Dabol’s claim to fame was what he was able to do with Josh Allen while he was an offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills. Allen turned into a top flight quarterback over the past two years. Jones and Allen are both 6-foot-5 with scooter capacity.
Jones’ inability to stay healthy during a 16- or 17-game season has made a big difference. The Giants quarterback has never played more than 14 games in a season since becoming a full-time starter following Manning’s retirement. Over the course of three seasons, he has recorded 8,398 yards with 45 touchdown passes and 29 interceptions.

Additionally, the Giants’ inability to find success as head coach has been an issue. Jones started out as a rookie in 2019 alongside Pat Shurmur, before the team eventually moved on to Judge and later to Dabol.
Manning played under Tom Coughlin for most of his career before the team passed to Ben McAdoo and Shurmur.
“By my fifth year, I had been in the same offense the whole time, I knew it, I could train it, new guys were coming in, I was speaking the same language that my offensive coordinator and (former head coach Tom ) ) Coughlin, and doing the same kind of propaganda,” Manning said. “And with (Jones), it’s all new, and it’s learning, and he’s constantly trying to learn and learn and learn, and it takes a while before it all sinks in.”
