"The Giants elected to separate the two. It's not a complete surprise since owner John Mara said they weren't a package deal in 2024. He justified it by explaining that they had different jobs with completely unique requirements. Schoen's primary job responsibility is to assemble the team. Daboll's was to coach it. Indisputably, neither have done a good enough job because during their tenure, the Giants (2-8) haven't won much in three straight years."
"Still, Schoen has done enough to convince ownership there is a young core in place, beginning with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. They have a No. 1 wide receiver in Malik Nabers, a standout left tackle with Andrew Thomas, quality running backs in Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. and some quality pass rushers with Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and Abdul Carter."
"While there have been some whispers about Schoen's status being tenuous, his contract runs through 2026, multiple league sources who have spoken to the Giants believe he is likely to remain unless there is a strong head coaching candidate who wants to bring in his own general manager. Though, that seems unlikely considering Schoen is leading the search and compiling the list of candidates."
Brian Daboll was fired as the New York Giants head coach while Joe Schoen remains the team's general manager. Ownership separated the coaching and roster-construction roles, citing different job requirements. The Giants have gone 2-8 and have struggled across three straight seasons under the current regime. Schoen has assembled a young core that includes rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, wide receiver Malik Nabers, left tackle Andrew Thomas, running backs Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr., and pass rushers Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and Abdul Carter. Schoen will lead the head-coach search and is expected to remain under contract through 2026 unless a candidate demands a new GM.
