Report: Giants' Brian Daboll, Joe Schoen 'Not Seen as Package Deal' amid Struggles

With just two games left in what has been a historically dismal season for the New York Giants, the pressing question is whether general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll will retain their positions.

According to The Athletic's Dianna Russini, the two are "not seen as a package deal," despite arriving together from Buffalo with matching contracts.

"Mara evaluates the entire football operation when each season ends, and his head coach and GM will be evaluated on their own merits" NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport reported on Saturday.

New York enters Sunday's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts riding a 10-game losing streak and just two defeats away from matching the worst record in franchise history, set in 1966 when the Giants finished 1-12-1, per Pelissero and Rapoport.

The Giants are only two years removed from a 31-24 playoff win over the Minnesota Vikings during the 2022 Super Wild Card Weekend. Fast forward to 2024 and lingering injuries and the release of their former quarterback Daniel Jones have left them last in the league in scoring, averaging just 14.3 points per game.

According to Pelissero and Rapoport, the prevailing sense is that Giants president and CEO John Mara is reluctant to make changes, stating as much back in October when the Giants were 2-5, emphasizing patience in honor of his father, Wellington Mara.
