New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll and defensive coordinator Wink Martindale have appeared to butt heads in recent weeks but publicly, each has toed the company line.

Following a 49-17 blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10, which featured a viral moment between the two coaches, Daboll downplayed the incident.

“I don’t even know. We talk a lot throughout the game. Probably going into half, kind of some things we wanted to get worked on, things we want to do, but I have conversations with all those guys,” Daboll told reporters after the game. “No different. Normal stuff during a game.”

Martindale insisted the conversation, which appeared heated and lasted throughout the halftime break, was about coverages.

The explanations fooled nobody and their relationship has reportedly only soured since then.

During the FOX pregame show on Sunday, NFL insider Jay Glazer reported that things between Daboll and Martindale are “in a bad place” and that a mutual parting of ways could be on the horizon — possibly even before the season ends.
