New York Giants retain Brian Daboll, GM Joe Schoen going into 2025 season

The New York Giants decided to retain head coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen following the conclusion of a 3-14 season.

With back to back seasons without a playoff appearance, the Giants decided to keep the same regime and attempt to fix things going into 2025. Not wasting any time, the organization released a statement Monday.

“Now that our season is over, we felt it necessary to make this statement,” Giants owner John Mara said. “Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll will continue in their respective roles with the organization. As disappointing as the results of the season have been, Steve (Tisch) and I remain confident in the process that Joe and Brian have implemented and their vision for our team. We look forward to the future and achieving the results we all desire.

Giants elect to keep Brian Daboll, Joe Schoen

Daboll, hired in January 2022 following a three-year stint as offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills, went 18-32-1 in New York. He led the Giants to a postseason berth in his first season at the helm, winning a playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings — New York’s first in 11 years — before falling in the NFC Divisional Round to the Philadelphia Eagles.

That season, Daboll got the best out of quarterback Daniel Jones. Jones signed a four-year, $160 million contract extension in March 2023 after leading the Giants to the playoffs but threw just 10 touchdowns to 13 interceptions in 2023 and ’24. The Giants released Jones in November and have since started Tommy DeVito and Drew Lock under center.

The inadequate play at the most important position in football and along the offensive line nearly cost Daboll his job. Presumably, the Giants will look for a new franchise quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The 49-year-old was previosuly credited with helping turn Josh Allen into a superstar during his time in Buffalo and called plays for Alabama in 2017 — a year in which the Crimson Tide won the College Football Playoff National Championship.
