The New York Giants have announced their decision to retain coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen following a disappointing 3-14 season, which ranks as one of the worst in franchise history. Team president and co-owner John Mara revealed the news in a statement, citing confidence in the leadership duo despite the team's struggles. “As disappointing as the results have been, Steve (Tisch) and I remain confident in the process that Joe and Brian have implemented and their vision for our team,” Mara said, emphasizing the need for stability moving forward.

Mara also reflected on Daboll's prior success, noting that he was named AP NFL Coach of the Year two years ago when the Giants made the playoffs for the first time since 2016. However, this past season was marred by a franchise-record 10-game losing streak and issues at quarterback, with Daniel Jones being benched and subsequently released after a series of underperforming games. “Three wins, not good enough. So, a lot of work to be done,” Daboll commented following the season-ending loss to the Eagles, according to a report from AP News.

The Giants did not re-sign running back Saquon Barkley, who flourished after leaving for the Philadelphia Eagles, where he rushed for over 2,000 yards. This decision has stirred frustration among fans, some of whom even flew banners over MetLife Stadium calling for management changes. Mara acknowledged the fans' discontent but insisted that the current leadership is the right path. “I didn’t need planes flying over me to tell me how upset the fans are,” he stated, reiterating his commitment to the current leadership team but also indicating that improvement is necessary moving forward.

The focus now turns to the offseason, where the Giants can leverage the No. 3 overall pick in the upcoming draft to potentially secure a new quarterback and bolster their roster. Schoen and Daboll face a pivotal offseason as they aim to restore the franchise's competitive edge in the NFC East.
