Joe Schoen will return as New York Giants general manager, team owners John Mara and Steve Tisch announced Monday.
Mara and Tisch gave Schoen a vote of confidence in November when firing coach Brian Daboll midway through the regime's fourth season in charge. The Giants were 2-8 at that time and lost five of their final seven games under interim coach Mike Kafka to finish with a 4-13 record.
Assembling talent by drafting receiver Malik Nabers, running back Cam Skattebo, pass rusher Abdul Carter and, most importantly, potential franchise quarterback Jaxson Dart paved the way for Schoen to keep his job and oversee the search for the team's next coach.
