The New York Giants are just 24 hours away from Black Monday, and decisions must be made on general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll.
By all accounts, Schoen appears safe but the feeling around Daboll is a bit less certain.
Entering Week 18, differing opinions on Daboll persist and speculation varies wildly. Some around the league expect the Giants to move on but a growing number of reports suggest that co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch reports that Mara “desires to keep” Daboll and avoid yet another head coaching search — something that has become entirely too common in East Rutherford.
Jones also reports that although Mara is keenly aware of the recent fan protests, the planes and banners have not moved the needle in his mind.
Jones does caution that no decision is likely to be made immediately. Even if the Giants do ultimately part ways with Daboll, it could take several days for that split to develop, which would put the Giants behind in the head coaching search.
But ultimately, it’s likely that Daboll will return in 2025 because Mara fears there are just no better options
Unless something catastrophic occurs on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, trends and reports suggest both Schoen and Daboll return for the Giants next season.
