Giants Poised to Keep GM Joe Schoen, Put Him in Charge of Head-Coach Search
Reports point to a stability-first approach despite a prolonged skid under his tenure.
Overview
- Multiple outlets report Schoen is expected to remain, with the team 12-38 since 2023 after Brian Daboll’s November firing.
- Schoen is expected to run the search, with candidates linked to the job including Mike McCarthy, Joe Brady and Davis Webb, plus Kevin Stefanski if he becomes available.
- Analysts warn the setup could hinder the search if candidates balk at working with Schoen, echoing the Jaguars’ Trent Baalke episode.
- Schoen’s modernization efforts are acknowledged, but critics highlight prominent draft misses in Evan Neal, Deonte Banks and Jalin Hyatt.
- Some around the league still view the opening favorably due to QB Jaxson Dart, skill talent and a strong defensive line, though roster needs remain significant.
