Owner John Mara made his intentions clear Wednesday night even though his team was 2-5 entering Monday night’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He mentioned that he wanted to be patient and learn the process.
“Obviously, we are all very disappointed with where we are right now, but I will say one thing: We are not making any changes this season and I don’t anticipate making any changes in the offseason either,” Mara mentioned. Later, he attended the premiere of “The Duke: Wellington Mara’s Giant Life” about his father’s generation and their contributions to the sport of football.
The Giants are coming off an ugly loss to Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Barkley tormented his former team and owner, who simply said on this summer’s “Hard Knocks” show that he would have trouble sleeping if his once again operating superstar landed in Philadelphia.
Mara has seen her team make just one touchdown in four home games this season. However, he mentioned that he was once dedicated to Daboll and Schoen, barring any kind of sudden situation. That would definitely make them responsible for finding Daniel Jones’ successor. The Giants asked about buying and selling a quarterback in this current NFL draft.
In fact, it is always possible that something sudden will happen in the following months. It has taken place earlier than in the new story. Mara provided social support to general manager Jerry Reese and coach Ben McAdoo during the 2017 season, only to fire them before the season ended after quarterback Eli Manning was benched.
But Mara has since admitted that she wishes she were more patient in that case. Pat Shurmur and Joe Pass lasted just two years each as head coach of the Giants.
Later, watching the film about her father on Wednesday at The Paley Center on Long Island among the population, friends and former and broadcast employees, including Schoen, once asked Mara if she had taken anything more from optics than her father. exchanged with the indisposed years of the era.
“I think I try to be more patient than I have been in the last few years,” Mara mentioned. “He was patient. He preached that all the time and I’ve probably been guilty of not being patient enough over the last few years, and that’s one of the reasons why I’m committed to Joe and Brian and giving them the opportunity to change this.” . around.”
Schoen and Daboll have two full seasons on their resumes: one excellent and one unholy. They went 9-7-1 in 2022 and won a playoff game. The Giants went 6-11 last season as Daboll became an excellent member of their staff, including two coordinators.
It hasn’t taken much time this season to get to this point. Daboll has called the shots and his offense is averaging just 14.1 points.
The Giants as a whole are on pace to miss the playoffs for the 11th time in 13 years.
“Very difficult [to be patient] “Because the last 10 or 12 years haven’t been very good for our fans and that makes it particularly difficult,” Mara mentioned. “But we have to do the right thing and we are committed to doing it, committed to seeing this process through.” “.
What is it about Schoen and Daboll that helps Mara feel safe?
“Just the process they have, being in meetings with them, talking about where they see us next, talking about the evaluation of our staff,” he mentioned. “I still have confidence in both of them.”
In any case, it all comes down to successful games. Mara always says that at the beginning of each season she wants to be okay with her team moving forward when they come off the field after general play. You want the arrow to point up.
It is useless to feel that method at this time.
“Absolutely,” he said. “Yes, 2-5.”
