Giants owner John Mara named the team’s “No. 1 issue” for the offseason after deciding to retain Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll.
Here is what happened with the Giants this week when John Mara decided to keep Joe Schoen as his general manager and Brian Daboll as his coach: Two guys on hot seats stayed right there, like they
But as the season spiraled and Daniel Jones was replaced by Tommy DeVito, then Drew Lock, then DeVito, then Tim Boyle and then Lock again, the weight of Mara’s support started to fade extrinsically. At times, starting over made sense. At other points, the scenario of Schoen staying and Daboll going emerged as a possibility, too.
Schoen and Daboll just concluded an historically bad 3-14 campaign in the Giants’ 100th season as a franchise. It was the most losses by a Giants team in the club’s 100 years.
New York Giants owner John Mara has no idea what he wants. More importantly, he has no clue how to make his team a relevant NFL team again. The proof is in the pudding after New York’s bizarre decision to keep both head coach Brian Daboll AND Joe Schoen on Black Monday 2025.
Former New York Giants and current Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daniel Jones has made another move since parting ways with the Giants. Jones and the Giants officially “broke up” on Friday, November 22. He requested to be released from the Giants after being benched, per team owner John Mara.
Mara was lost in a sea of contradictions Monday as he tried to defend the indefensible decision of retaining Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen.
John Mara called Saquon Barkley and jokingly said he was "very upset" with the commercial that Barkley did, as he wanted to be featured: "There is an acting gene in our family, it's not just my nieces" pic.twitter.com/6V9JgmSjkh Cue the pained laughter.
Mara: "If I'm standing here a year from now and we're having the same conversation, I'll take the heat for it."
New York Giants fandom is a visceral hodgepodge of ups and downs. It’s an experience that can send your spirit into the stratosphere off the high of a Superbowl win.
Though he didn't get into many specifics, Mara hinted at changes that will be coming to rectify New York's 3-14 season.
