One thing we have wondered since the New York Giants fired former head coach Brian Daboll was: who made the decision?
On Tuesday, we got our answer from general manager Joe Schoen.
When asked why he still has his job and Daboll doesn't during his bye-week press conference, Schoen said that it was ownership that made the decision to move on from Daboll and keep him around.
"Ownership made a decision to move on. I'm going to control what I can control," Schoen said, according to video from SNY.
The fact that Schoen wasn't the one who came to the realization that Daboll needed to go is troubling, at best.
After all, it was clear as day that Daboll needed to go. In fact, the Giants kept him for far longer than he deserved to be there.
Now, the Giants are going to trust Schoen to lead the head-coaching search, as the team said in its statement upon Daboll's firing?
Good luck with that.
If Schoen couldn't see the writing on the wall that Daboll wasn't the right guy for this job anymore after multiple years of total dysfunction and ineptitude, Schoen simply can't be trusted to pick the right man to be the head coach in 2026.
This is yet another sign that the Giants just need to completely clean house and start over again. In no world should Schoen stick around beyond this season.
