Despite a woeful season, Giants legend Eli Manning supports the team's decision to keep Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen as head coach and general manager, respectively.
The Giants ended the regular season with a 14-3 record.
Despite the disappointment of the New York Giants' season, one of the organization's greats praised the decision to keep head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen.
Eli Manning, the former quarterback, stated in an interview with USA Today on Monday that John Mara, the Giants co-owner, made the right decision in maintaining the organization's leadership despite the 3-14 record because he believes the vicious coaching cycle can often work against a team.
Continuity is crucial," Manning emphasized. "Changing things up hasn't been effective, as evidenced by the Giants' failure to win a championship in the past decade despite frequent roster changes every two to three years.
In the playoffs two years ago, Brian Daboll demonstrated his ability to win. Therefore, to take advantage of the opportunity to go in, they must resolve the quarterback situation this year, but they possess talent.
"The team is building a great culture by having guys who are playing at a high level. It takes time to achieve this, and I believe it's the right decision to give him the necessary time to do so."
Mara stated Monday that the season was "disappointing," yet expressed "confidence" in Schoen and Daboll.
"After our season ended, we made a statement regarding Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll's roles with the organization. Despite the disappointing results of the season, Steve (Tisch) and I have confidence in the process that Joe and Brian have implemented and their vision for our team. We are excited for the future and the results we all hope to achieve."
On Monday, Mara conveyed to reporters his wish for the two to promptly improve their situation.
"He warned that it shouldn't take too long, as he was almost out of patience."
Despite their struggles with the quarterback position, the Giants' offseason will prioritize finding a solution at that position.
"The primary concern for us entering the offseason is to identify our quarterback of the future, whether through the draft or by acquiring a veteran. Schoen and Daboll will make the final decision."
