The New York Giants had a miserable season, but they’re going to run it back at the top for the 2025 campaign.
The Giants put out a statement Monday morning that coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen will return despite a 3-14 finish.
Giants owner John Mara said he wanted to be patient with Daboll and Schoen even as the losses piled up. It had to be hard as Mara watched Saquon Barkley, a popular player who left the Giants for the Eagles in the offseason, rush for 2,000 yards on an NFC East-winning Eagles team. But he still stuck it out with his coach and GM.
Daboll’s first season was a successful one. The Giants were far from a dominant team but rode a string of close wins to the playoffs, where they beat the Minnesota Vikings in the wild-card round. That led to Daboll getting a Coach of the Year award. It also led to the Giants signing Daniel Jones to a four-year, $160 million deal.
Not much has gone right since that. Jones never developed into more than a below-average starter. The Giants started the 2023 season with a 40-0 home loss to the Dallas Cowboys and never recovered, going 6-11. The 2024 season was even worse. The Giants had a 10-game losing streak and Jones was benched and cut during it.
The Giants wanted to get out of the habit of cycling through coaches and general managers quickly. Now they hope that Schoen and Daboll lead a turnaround.
