Overview
- The team announced Monday that Joe Schoen will remain general manager and will direct the search to replace fired coach Brian Daboll.
- Schoen met with co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch after a 4-13 finish; the Giants are 7-27 over the past two seasons and 22-45-1 during his tenure.
- In a joint statement, ownership pointed to a foundation that includes QB Jaxson Dart, WR Malik Nabers, EDGE Abdul Carter and pass rusher Brian Burns as reasons for stability.
- The coaching search is set to accelerate, with interim Mike Kafka expected to interview and reports linking candidates such as Joe Brady, Mike McCarthy, Lou Anarumo, Jeff Hafley and Vance Joseph; some reporting suggests Kevin Stefanski could be a top target if available.
- The decision has drawn criticism from fans and media, placing heightened pressure on Schoen to make a successful hire and deliver immediate improvement in 2026.
