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.
