Overview
- Joe Schoen said "it starts with me," acknowledged mistakes, and pledged a full evaluation of the football operation after the season.
- Despite firing head coach Brian Daboll and defensive coordinator Shane Bowen, Schoen remains in charge of the head-coach search and is backing interim Mike Kafka over the final four games.
- The Giants are 2-11 in 2025 and 5-25 since the start of 2024, and they were the first team eliminated from playoff contention for a second straight year.
- Heavy spending and high draft picks have not translated to performance, with $100M-plus in free agents and additions like Abdul Carter failing to lift a defense still ranked near the bottom.
- Schoen touted rookie QB Jaxson Dart and a young core as reasons the job will appeal to candidates, while media coverage questioned allowing an embattled GM to lead the search.
