Giants owner John Mara: ‘I still believe we’re headed in the right direction’

The New York Giants took a few steps back in 2023, finishing 6-11 after qualifying for the postseason in 2022.

It was the franchise’s first trip to the playoffs since 2016 and the new general manager/head coach combo of Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll were seen as franchise saviors.

Giants co-owner John Mara told reporters in an interview at the league meeting in Orlando on Monday that although he was disappointed in the Giants’ performance last season, he still believes the team is “headed in the right direction” under Schoen and Daboll.

The Giants went through another spate of unusually high injuries to key players in 2023, including a season-ending knee injury to starting quarterback Daniel Jones.

Daboll had differences with top members of his staff, especially defensive coordinator Wink Martindale and special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey.

Both men have been relieved of their duties, as have several others, and most notably offensive line coach Bobby Johnson.
