EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Forty-eight hours before one of the worst seasons in New York Giants history officially came to a close, general manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll sat down for a meeting with owner John Mara that lasted several hours. They had to explain what went wrong and how they were going to move forward, particularly at the quarterback position.
It was on that final Friday of the 2024 regular season that Schoen and Daboll stated their case to return despite a three-win showing and laid the groundwork for reshaping their quarterback room.
