Giants Poised to Keep GM Joe Schoen, Launch Coach Search
Multiple reports say Schoen will stay to run a coach search prioritizing experience.
Overview
- The Giants plan to retain Joe Schoen and have him lead the head‑coach search despite a 12-38 record since 2023, according to several reports.
- Potential targets include Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady and Broncos quarterbacks coach Davis Webb, with Mike McCarthy, Antonio Pierce, Lou Anarumo and possibly Kevin Stefanski also expected to draw consideration.
- Reporting notes the plan could change if coaching candidates show reluctance to work with Schoen, a dynamic compared by one outlet to Jacksonville's recent Baalke situation.
- One expected head‑coaching candidate called this the top available job due to quarterback Jaxson Dart, skill-position talent and a strong defensive line, per a report.
- Schoen faces intensifying criticism tied to draft misses, including declining Evan Neal's 2026 option, a trade‑up for Deonte Banks followed by inconsistent play and a benching, and Jalin Hyatt's limited production.
