The New York Giants have decided to retain general manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll despite a disappointing 3-14 season.
Why it matters: The decision to keep Schoen and Daboll signals the organization's commitment to stability and continuity, with hopes of building upon their previous successes.
Last season, the Giants had one of the worst campaigns in franchise history, recording a .176 win percentage.
Yes, but: Despite the poor performance, team president John Mara expressed confidence in Schoen and Daboll, affirming that they will continue in their roles.
Daboll had to make changes within his coaching staff due to conflicts with defensive coordinator Wink Martindale and other assistants.
What to watch: The Giants will look to regroup and improve upon their disappointing season, emphasizing the need for development and strategic planning moving forward.
The regime's only successful season was their first, as they reached the playoffs and won a postseason game.
By the numbers: The Giants snapped a franchise-record 10-game losing streak when they defeated the Colts in Week 17.
Outside linebacker Brian Burns expressed his desire for stability and continuity within the coaching staff, highlighting the importance of keeping Daboll and Schoen in their positions.
- Brian Burns on stability: "Do I want [a new coach]? Not really. I would like some stability. I would like [Daboll] and Joe and everybody to stay so we can get rolling next year without having to start a whole new regime and a whole new everything."
What's next: With Schoen and Daboll retained, the Giants will focus on identifying areas for improvement and implementing strategies to bounce back in the upcoming season.
The bottom line: The Giants decision to maintain the current leadership reflects their belief in the potential for growth and success under Schoen and Daboll's guidance. Continuity and stability will be key factors as the team seeks to rebuild and compete in the future.
