Giants Retain Joe Schoen as GM

Amidst their coaching search, the New York Giants are retaining GM Joe Schoen.

While ownership moved on from head coachBrian Daboll mid-season, John Mara and Steve Tisch have signaled their continued faith in Schoen’s long-term vision, particularly citing his ability to build a "good young core" and his modernization of the team's scouting and salary cap infrastructure. This vote of confidence gives Schoen the authority to lead the search for the franchise's next head coach and oversee a pivotal 2026 offseason. However, the decision remains controversial among the fanbase; with a 22–55–1 record over four years and recent high-profile departures like Saquon Barkley, Schoen enters the new year on a thinning leash, with the mandate to finally translate his roster construction into consistent wins.

Record: 22–55–1 over four seasons (including one playoff appearance in 2022).

Recent Draft Success: Credited with an aggressive 2025 draft, including the acquisition of potential franchise quarterback Jaxson Dart.

Upcoming Task: Leading the search for the Giants' sixth head coach since 2016.
