Overview
- Owners John Mara and Steve Tisch called recent seasons “nothing short of disappointing,” named Mike Kafka interim head coach, and confirmed Joe Schoen will remain GM.
- ESPN reports Schoen is canvassing a pool of 20-plus candidates, with NFL Network noting names to watch such as Steve Spagnuolo, Antonio Pierce, and Lou Anarumo.
- ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky suggested Browns coach Kevin Stefanski as his top target for New York if he becomes available, framing it as an analyst’s preference rather than a team pursuit.
- Reporting indicates the Giants plan to keep Kafka in the role through the remainder of 2025 and make a full-time hire in the offseason.
- Reaction has been mixed, with several players telling ESPN they anticipated the move, ex-Giant Jon Feliciano criticizing the decision, and multiple outlets calling the opening attractive given young talent like Jaxson Dart and Malik Nabers.
