The New York Giants are undergoing their first real rebuild in decades.
The process the Giants are going through right now is truly historic and presents a real break from the 96-year history of the team.
After more than 40 years, the Giants are leaving the line of succession that stretched from George Young to Dave Gettleman behind. And in a break with the Giants’ tradition as a “family business”, Joe Schoen — not anyone with the last name “Mara” or “Tisch” will be leading the team’s search for a head coach.
(Ownership still plays an important role in the head coaching search, but every indication we have is that Schoen is taking point)
There has already been a lot of discussion about who that next head coach should be.
