Giants Expected to Retain GM Joe Schoen After Coaching Firings

Ownership is expected to keep Schoen to lead the upcoming head-coach search.

Overview

  • Fox SportsRalph Vacchiano reports an internal expectation that Schoen will remain GM into 2026, with the team’s statement after Brian Daboll’s firing praising the roster he assembled.
  • Despite dismissing head coach Brian Daboll and defensive coordinator Shane Bowen this month, New York plans to ride out the season with interim head coach Mike Kafka and interim defensive play-caller Charlie Bullen, per reporting.
  • Heavy’s synthesis of beat reporting shifts scrutiny to Schoen’s roster construction, citing limited early draft investment at defensive tackle and inside linebacker, the 2023 trade of Leonard Williams, and concerns about Bobby Okereke’s recent play.
  • Pro Football Rumors notes the Giants were the first team eliminated from 2025 playoff contention and have locked in a third straight double-digit-loss season.
  • Vacchiano adds that some in the building prioritize hiring a head coach with prior NFL experience, though candidates without that background, such as Lou Anarumo, are still expected to receive consideration.
