Giants are seeing the fruits of Joe Schoen’s hard-learned lessons

Giants are seeing the fruits of Joe Schoen’s hard-learned lessons

It makes no sense to employ first-timers and then proceed to sack them before they get much of a chance to learn on the job. 

It happens so often — far too often — and it is in most cases more of a poor reflection on the person who does the hiring and less about the failings of the novice who gets canned. 

Joe Schoen was 42 years old and possessed a stuffed résumé that shouted “general manager-in-waiting’’ when the Giants brought him in to run their entire football operation in January 2022. All that tutelage did not make him invulnerable to mistakes and miscalculations, born not out of lack of preparation or smarts but out of inexperience. 

Schoen took some hard hits the past two years, but Giants ownership stuck with him and his handiwork will soon be on display July 23, with the first practice of training camp. This looks to be the strongest of the four rosters Schoen has put together. It is definitely more talented and deeper than the 2022 edition, which can come off as a bizarre claim, considering that team won nine games in the regular season and one more in the playoffs. The 2025 Giants are not expected to get close to either of those benchmarks.
