New York Giants owners John Mara and Steve Tisch announced in a statement that Joe Schoen will remain the team’s general manager, addressing speculation about a potential leadership change. The announcement comes after the team finished the season with a 4-13 record.

Since Joe Schoen became general manager, the Giants have recorded a 22-45-1 record, including one playoff appearance in his first season and none since. The team faced challenges under interim coach Mike Kafka following Brian Daboll’s departure. During Schoen’s tenure, the team has made draft selections including Malik Nabers, Cam Skattebo, and quarterback Jaxson Dart, with whom Schoen has maintained direct communication, Dart told News 12 Bronx.

Schoen, tasked with selecting a head coach to lead the franchise, is evaluating a range of candidates. These include coaches known for offensive expertise, such as Klint Kubiak and Kliff Kingsbury, as well as those with established leadership experience, including Mike McCarthy and Vance Joseph, according to CBS News.

Mara and Tisch stated that the 2025 season has not met the organization’s expectations, and the team’s on-field performance has fallen short of what is anticipated. Schoen recognized the challenges and described plans to improve the team’s performance. As the search for a new head coach continues, recently available coaches Kevin Stefanski and Raheem Morris have been mentioned as possible candidates for the Giants’ next head coach.
