New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen publicly acknowledged the team’s disappointing 2-11 record during the 2025 NFL season, conceding that the performance has not met expectations. Despite the challenges, Schoen expressed optimism about the team’s future, especially regarding its ongoing search for a new head coach.
Schoen stated that the Giants “have not been good enough” this season, a sentiment that reflects the frustrations of both the front office and the fanbase. The team has faced significant setbacks on both sides of the ball, contributing to its place near the bottom of the standings. Injuries, inconsistent quarterback play, and defensive struggles have all played a role in the difficult campaign.
Nevertheless, Schoen remains confident that the Giants’ open head coaching position will draw strong interest from experienced and innovative candidates across the league. He emphasized the organization’s commitment to building a sustainable and competitive roster, noting that ownership is aligned with that long-term vision.
“We know what the expectations are in New York, and we’re working hard to meet them,” Schoen said during his media availability. While he did not provide specific names or a timeline for the coaching search, he indicated that the process would be thorough and focused on finding a leader capable of guiding the team back to contention.
The coaching vacancy follows a stretch of instability in the Giants’ leadership, with the team cycling through multiple head coaches over the past several years. As the franchise looks to move forward, Schoen noted that identifying the right coach is a crucial step in the rebuild.
“We want someone who can help develop our young roster, establish a winning culture, and connect with our players,” Schoen added.
Fans and analysts will continue to watch closely as the Giants navigate the remainder of the season and begin evaluating coaching candidates. With ample cap space and a likely high draft pick on the horizon, Schoen believes the opportunity in New York remains a compelling one for prospective coaches.
