Giants sticking with Brian Daboll, Joe Schoen after abysmal season

The top guys are coming back.

John Mara insisted he wanted to, if at all possible, show more patience this time around, acknowledging that he perhaps bailed on head coaches too quickly as the demise of the Giants franchise reached appalling levels.

There is no doubt that the 2024 season severely tested the patience of the co-owner but in the end, there will be status quo, with general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll returning for a fourth year.

The Giants put out a statement Monday morning to end speculation.

Fans who wanted sweeping change as a result of the Giants going 3-14 in the 100th season in franchise history will be disappointed by this.

Mara and co-owner Steve Tisch decided to stay the course with the duo that in 2022 was hired away from the Buffalo Bills and enjoyed immediate success, followed by regression in 2023 and complete failure this past season.

In three years, the Giants are 18-32-1 in the regular season and 1-1 in the playoffs with rosters Schoen assembled and Daboll guided.

The progression has been inverted, from 9-7-1 and the first playoff victory in 11 years to 6-11 in 2023 to this year’s bottoming out.
