The New York Giants have decided to keep head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen – despite another dismal season.
The Giants were beaten 20-13 by the Eagles on Sunday to finish the 2024 campaign with a 3-14 record.
New York finished bottom of the NFC East after winning just one of nine home games. The Giants had the joint-worst record of any team in the NFL – tied with the Titans and Browns.
But on ‘Black Monday’, president John Mara released a statement confirming that Daboll and Schoen would not be fired.
‘Now that our season is over, we felt it necessary to make this statement,’ Mara said. ‘Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll will continue in their respective roles with the organization.
‘As disappointing as the results of the season have been, Steve (Tisch) and I remain confident in the process that Joe and Brian have implemented and their vision for our team.

General manager Joe Schoen has also been retained, New York president John Mara revealed
‘We look forward to the future and achieving the results we all desire.’
‘Black Monday’ marks the first day after the end of the NFL regular season. It also typically marks the end of some coaches’ tenures.
As initially reported by ESPN, the first to fall was Doug Pederson, who was fired by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Pederson, in his third season with the franchise, led Jacksonville to a disappointing 4-13 record. The team has lost 18 of its last 23 games.
Pederson led the Jaguars to the playoffs in his first season in charge but in his final game in charge, Jacksonville was beaten by the Indianapolis Colts.
In a statement announcing the move, Jaguars owner Shad Khan called Pederson an ‘accomplished football man’ and also indicated that GM Trent Baalke would be retained.
