New York Giants co-owner John Mara addressed the future of general manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll, expressing confidence in both despite a disappointing 2-5 start to the season. Mara stated that there will be no changes during the season or in the offseason, emphasizing his commitment to giving them a chance to turn things around. The Giants have a 17-23-1 record under Daboll and Schoen, with a -197-point differential since the start of the 2022 season. Mara acknowledged that the team has a long way to go before feeling good about their direction.
Mara’s comments came after a 28-3 loss to division rival Philadelphia Eagles, where former Giant Saquon Barkley earned NFC Player of the Week honors with an impressive performance. Barkley’s departure from the Giants was featured in the series “Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants,” where Mara expressed reluctance about the possibility of him playing for the Eagles.
Despite the recent struggles, Mara emphasized his desire to get back to brighter moments and his commitment to being patient with the current leadership. Daboll’s decision to bench quarterback Daniel Jones in the fourth quarter to “create a spark” was also highlighted, though Mara declined to comment on individual player performances. The Giants’ lackluster performance has raised questions about the future of the team, but Mara remains steadfast in his support for Schoen and Daboll as they work to improve the team’s fortunes.
