New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen is standing by his roster construction despite the team's dismal 2-11 record. At his annual bye week news conference, Schoen acknowledged making mistakes that have contributed to the team's struggles and 25 losses over the past 30 games. He expressed confidence in the players already on the roster, including quarterback Jaxson Dart and receiver Malik Nabers. Schoen's comments come as the Giants search for a new head coach, following the firing of Brian Daboll last month. Owner John Mara appeared to give Schoen a vote of confidence, praising the general manager's ability to assemble a 'good nucleus of talent.' However, the team's recent three-game skid, including a 33-15 loss to the New England Patriots, has raised questions about Schoen's job security. Interim head coach Mike Kafka is in the running for the full-time position, but Schoen insists that he will be given a fair evaluation. Kafka himself downplayed the possibility of the interim role becoming permanent, focusing instead on the team's current performance. Schoen has repeatedly addressed concerns about his job security, stating that he understands the questions and is confident that the team can find a suitable head coach. When asked about the possibility of a potential coach wanting their own general manager, Schoen remained optimistic, stating that the team has received 'calls' that they will be able to fill the position. The Giants ownership is expected to evaluate the football operations department over the next several weeks, which may provide further clarity on Schoen's future with the team.
