Giants co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch cited continuity and what they consider a talented young core as reasons why the franchise decided to keep general manager Joe Schoen<\/a> for another season despite a 4-13 record.<\/p>\n

When Big Blue fired head coach Brian Daboll<\/a> in November, the Giants said in a statement that Schoen would lead the head coaching search \u2014 calling into question his status beyond that point \u2014 in the offseason, but the co-owners\u2019 statement Monday clarified that he\u2019ll remain in his current position even after the hiring of his second head coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 2025 season has been deeply disappointing,\u201d Mara and Tisch wrote in the joint statement, \u201cand the results on the field have not lived up to the standard this organization and our fans expect. As previously stated, Joe Schoen will remain our General Manager and continue to lead our football operations and the search for our next head coach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cContinuity and stability in the front office is important to our progress. We believe in our young core of talent, which we can build around for future success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schoen went 22-45-1 during his first four years as a general manager, constructing the roster that made a surprise playoff appearance and even won a postseason game in 2022 before watching everything crumble since.<\/p>\n

Still, during that time, Schoen was able to draft young pieces considered part of the Giants\u2019 nucleus moving forward, including quarterback Jaxson Dart (first round in 2025), edge rusher Abdul Carter (first round in 2025), wide receiver Malik Nabers (first round in 2024) and running back Cam Skattebo (fourth round in 2025).<\/p>\n

Schoen also had plenty of whiffs in the draft, too, including offensive lineman Evan Neal (first round in 2022), cornerback Deonte Banks (first round in 2023) and wideout Jalin Hyatt (third round in 2023).<\/p>\n

During his bye week press conference last month, Schoen vowed to fix the Giants<\/a> and described their open vacancy as an attractive one for possible candidates.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to make excuses: It\u2019s not good enough,\u201d Schoen said at the time. \u201cWe\u2019re going to look at the entire football operation from free agency decisions, draft decisions, coaching, execution. What can we do better? Because there are pieces there. Why aren\u2019t we maximizing what we have? And that\u2019s going to be our mission this offseason \u2014 to figure that out.\u201d<\/p>\n

And after the endorsement Monday, Schoen knows for certain that he\u2019ll be the one trying to figure out the solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Giants co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch cited continuity and what they consider a talented young core as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":89949,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[19884,20859,9,2683,11,10,22,319,32736],"class_list":["post-89948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-joe-schoen","tag-john-mara","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-giants","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-nfl","tag-sports","tag-steve-tisch"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89948\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
