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.
