Here is the text of the article in plain format:
within “Giants 2025,” we will examine the talent on the roster, the team’s positions of need, their pathways to improvement, the players they could target in the offseason and finally, the people charged with restoring this franchise to its former glory.
At some point over the next 72 hours, Giants co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch will meet to determine the fates of coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen. Mara has said the coach and GM who arrived together from Buffalo in 2022 aren’t a “package deal.”
They both have different jobs, different responsibilities and could have different levels of success, Mara said in March.
Neither Daboll nor Schoen will meet any standard of success as the 3-13 Giants enter their season finale on Sunday against the Eagles. The evaluation of Daboll figures to be more direct since his sole focus is getting the team to win each week. He obviously has fallen short of that objective the past two seasons after a 9-7-1 debut that earned him the NFL Coach of the Year award.
Schoen’s assessment is more layered. As he said when he was hired, he was aiming to “compete for today and build for tomorrow.” The competing today aspect has fallen flat, but he could get a reprieve if ownership believes in his plan for the future.
To get a holistic view of Schoen’s tenure and how the Giants got to this bleak spot in his third year, I reviewed the major roster-building decisions from each of his three years. This exercise should give a fuller perspective on what Schoen inherited, what he’s added, what he’s subtracted and where things stand as he wraps up his third year on the job.
