The column, which sums up overarching league news at the start of each week, states that Mara \u201creally wants to stay the course with GM Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll, but he\u2019s also realistic about where the team is.\u201d Earlier reports in the week also stated that Daboll and Schoen are not necessarily a package deal- which implies that Daboll could be the scapegoat for the Giants&#8217; disappointing season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breer also mentioned that Mara plans to sit with both Schoen and Daboll both separately and individually after the team\u2019s regular-season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles, where<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/12\/30\/should-eagles-let-saquon-barkley-chase-rushing-record\/\" target=\"_self\"> Saquon Barkley is looking to break Eric Dickerson\u2019s all-time rushing record<\/a> against his former team, to discuss their visions for the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Report: Giants Ownership \u201cReally Wants to Stay the Course\u201d with Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SqD0yq2xQI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/SqD0yq2xQI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Patricia Traina (@Patricia_Traina) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Patricia_Traina\/status\/1874097459452088386?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December 31, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Is this the right regime to keep?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staying the course with Schoen and Daboll, who collectively and individually deserve blame for the team\u2019s disappointment, is one conversation. Schoen has had some questionable roster moves like the Daniel Jones contract, letting young talent walk in free agency, and overtly drafting for need over value. While Daboll has had a lukewarm history at best working with assistant coaches like Wink Martindale and Mike Kafka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the larger question that looms over the Giants&#8217; future is how effective it would be to split up a General Manager and Head Coach\u2019s timeline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Giants have split up head coaches and general managers two times in the last decade already. The first time in 2015 when they parted ways with two-time Super Bowl-winning head coach Tom Coughlin while retaining General Manager Jerry Reese. They promoted offensive coordinator Ben Mcadoo and ended up winning 11 games in 2016.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After that?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both Mcadoo and Reese were fired before the end of the 2017 season and the Giants finished 3-13 and the Giants turnstile decade began.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just two years later, Reese\u2019s predecessor Dave Gettleman fired Pat Shurmur after going 4-12 in 2019. He then hired former Patriots special teams coordinator Joe Judge who only lasted two seasons in New York.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Head Coaching Carousel<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jerry Reese and Dave Gettleman were both on the hot seat when they hired Shurmur and Judge and faced pressure from the fans and ownership to win after disappointing seasons. The issue is that both Shumur and Judge weren\u2019t seen as high-end coaching candidates and that the big names of those hiring seasons- Adam Gase, Doug Pederson, John Gruden, Matt Rhule-\u00a0 didn\u2019t want to come to New York with an unstable lame-duck General Manager situation.\u00a0 While a majority of those coaches weren&#8217;t successful in the NFL, they were big names during their respective hiring seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite their struggles, it may actually be smarter for John Mara to keep Schoen and Daboll heading into 2025 rather than separating them. In their recent history, the Giants have used half-measures and it hasn\u2019t been successful. John Mara hopes he can keep this Giants regime, but are they regime for the job?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep them both or move on completely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main Image: Julian Leshay Guadalupe\/NorthJersey.com \/ USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Albert Breer reported that John Mara hopes to keep current Giants regime for 2025 season despite the team&#8217;s struggles in 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5408,"featured_media":207599,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"1","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,20],"tags":[3472,8951,2675,92],"class_list":["post-207399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","category-giants","tag-brian-daboll","tag-joe-schoen","tag-john-mara","tag-new-york-giants"],"modified_by":"Drew Crabtree","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5408"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207399"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207399\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":207600,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207399\/revisions\/207600"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
