Despite another disastrous season and a head coaching shakeup, the New York Giants are sticking with general manager Joe Schoen.
The vote of confidence from owners John Mara and Steve Tisch came Monday morning after a season of speculation that led many to believe the organization would go in a different direction following Brian Daboll’s midseason firing.

“The 2025 season was deeply disappointing, and the results on the field did not live up to the expectations of this organization and our fans,” Mara and Tisch’s statement read.

“As previously stated, Joe Schoen will remain our general manager and will continue to lead our football operations and the search for our next head coach. Continuity and stability within the front office is important to our progress.”
Schoen and Daboll were both hired in 2022, but Daboll was fired last month in what would be the Giants’ third straight losing season. Likewise, Schoen was expected to be on the hot seat at the end of the regular season after several notable missteps during his tenure.
Allowing running back Saquon Barkley to walk and sign with division rival Philadelphia, where he won a Super Bowl in his first season and earned Offensive Player of the Year honors, remains one of the most significant criticisms of Schoen’s tenure.

Signing quarterback Daniel Jones to a four-year, $160 million extension in 2023, only to cut him this season and see him perform well with the Indianapolis Colts, was another.
But it must be recognized that Schoen was the architect of several notable selections that could be the future of the organization’s success.
The arrival of talents like Malik Nabers, running back Cam Skattebo, passer Abdul Carter and potential franchise quarterback Jaxson Dart were likely the biggest factors keeping Schoen in New York.

“We believe in our young core of talent, on which we can build for future success,” Mara and Tisch said Monday.
Under Schoen, the Giants are 22-45-1 with just one playoff appearance.
