Here's my final thoughts for the Giants now that the 2024 season is over:

They should have fired Daboll and Schoen.

The team has been declining in output for three years straight. I see nothing but a mess of lacking preparedness, poor execution, poor player accountability, mediocre drafting and complete negligence in offseason strategy. 

Despite the misconception from Giants fans on Twitter that "the Giants would have been such an unattractive coaching/GM job", that is not true. A new GM/HC would have lots of money to work with this offseason, very few lousy contracts (if any), and patience for finding the long-term answer at QB.

Now, I am afraid John Mara's win mandate will likely result in Joe Schoen launching hail-mary's to save his career, including reaching on a QB prospect, trading the farm for a QB he has no conviction on, and signing massive contracts.

If the Giants suck again in 2025, the team could be left with bad contracts, minimal cap, a rookie QB to force on the next administration. Then, THEN... The Giants head coach / GM job will be extremely unattractive. This could result in the Giants getting a bottom tier candidate for both GM and HC, which will lead to even more years of horrendous play.

I believe John Mara is no longer a good owner. While I appreciate that he forks over every penny it takes to win, and he very much cares about the franchise, he just doesn't know when to fire people. That's been evident since 2015. This obvious fear of moving on from GMs will continue to kill us, as he just hates to have turnover in the front office.

But as always, I welcome the Giants to prove me wrong. I hope they do. Until then, I expect a 7 win or less 2025, Daboll/Schoen to be terminated, a lousy administration to follow, and being a very dysfunctional team for the rest of the 2020s decade.
