Schwartz reported the other day that Schoen and Flores had spoken recently to start a relationship in case Schoen wound up getting the Giants or Bears job but there's no history between the two

Giants are planning to hire Bills’ asst GM Joe Schoen as their GM, per sources.

They still have to work out a contract, but Giants’ other GM finalists have been told that they’re out. If they work out the deal, Schoen is expected to be the Giants’ next GM.
Take us out of the abyss, Joe Schoen

Adam Peters had stellar interviews with the #Giants, and #Chiefs exec Ryan Poles — currently speaking to the #Bears about their GM opening — is also in play in Minnesota. But the #Giants go with Schoen as their GM.

Never know if they are going to work out or not, but this guy checks all the boxes and that is all you can ask for when you hire someone. There is no guarantee of success, but if the process is right and you make the most logical choice, there is not much we can say otherwise.

They did 9 interviews of highly regarded candidates and narrowed it down to 3 in person interviews all because they knew who they were hiring to begin with. If they hired Poles or Horitz you would say the same thing if it wasn't your guy.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't

It's time to clear out the scouting department!
Good hire. What's really interesting will be what comes next  
Heisenberg : 1/21/2022 11:54 am : link
A good head guy with a dysfunctional organization behind him can only do so much. It will be really interesting to see what and how much changes with him on board.

But he's a candidate it's easy to be happy with. Seems 100% ready for the next step.
Going to go out on a limb...

mikeinbloomfield : 1/21/2022 11:54 am : link
Football lifer from a smart program. I might have preferred someone from the Ravens, but we hired the right type person.

We are all rooting for him. He won't make the same dumb mistakes the previous FO made, but he'll need to do better than that to get us out of this hole we're in.

Hope! Anticipation! It feels great.
Really wanted Peters but Schoen has my support  
illmatic : 1/21/2022 11:55 am : link
Hope he knocks it out of the park with the Giants. And I hope he truly has full control to do whatever he wants.
Schoen  
Sammo85 : 1/21/2022 11:56 am : link
is a big believer in building through the draft. Had some interesting hits when he was in charge of personnel with Dolphins. They tended to get some players in the 2nd and 3rd rounds which is where Giants have failed terribly lately under the last two college scouting/personnel regimes on drafting.

The quotes I've got from co-workers and those who know Joe Schoen around the league:

"Really smart."
"Dude is gonna outwork you." "Earned keep."
"Straight-forward."
"Great communicator."
"Well-rounded."
"Home run."
Just hoping for the best.

More so than peters has. And that is the whole deal.
I'd love if our new HC

was Flores.

Second from those mentioned as likely: Daboll.
Everyone is now Reporting It  
LTIsTheGreatest : 1/21/2022 11:58 am : link
so must be true. Was hoping Peters would get it, but cant go wrong with Schoen . Great day for this franchise!!!
So if he Hires Daboll  
Bruner4329 : 1/21/2022 11:58 am : link
Why can't he hire an experienced DC with maybe some prior head coaching experience? Point is if he hires Daboll we really need to see the makeup of the staff before going off the deep end as some have already.
Solid hire  
Lines of Scrimmage : 1/21/2022 11:58 am : link
Best of luck to getting things turned around. I was getting on the recent Peters/Flores pairing but I am hopeful he has a solid plan for Giants. I hope everyone can be a little patient.
will

Daboll be bringing Josh Allen, or will we have a bottom of the league offense just like Daboll has his entire career without Allen?

Hard to do worse unless he gets arrested or is outed for sending out pictures of his schlong to women.
well a logical hire - I see 3 key reasons for encouragement  
Eric on Li : 1/21/2022 12:01 pm : link
1. he seems unanimously well-regarded and experienced in organizations with good track records, especially recently in the draft.

2. he had a first hand window into perhaps the greatest QB development job in NFL history. Josh Allen completed just 52% of his passes in year 1 and 58% in year 2. They got both the scouting and development right. He needs to do both right again here whether it's Jones or a draft pick.

3. he also had a first hand window into the importance of quality coaches and coordinators. Daboll and Frazier were both great hires by McDermott. Both well experienced and credentialed and big parts of their success from 2018 on. Interestingly McDermott fired his initial offensive coordinator Rick Dennison after just 1 year in 2017 (Schoen's first year there).

Thats good becuase the Giants have very little cap space this year. Unless they cut a bunch of guys or do some serious contract restructuring, FA wont bring much. Schoen certainly has his work cut out for him
So does Schoen really have total authority over football operations??  
Rick in Dallas : 1/21/2022 12:01 pm : link

to get himself released by Buffalo and then sign with the Giants.

I have very reasonable expectations...

This will be the intrigue to watch.

Minor area of concern is he overlapped his Panthers tenure with Mark Koncz, who was in the scouting department and was under Gettleman.
What I liked in what I read about Schoen  
blueblood : 1/21/2022 12:04 pm : link
is that he was a big part or building the scouting program AND the analytics department in Buffalo. being a GM isnt just picking the players.. Its about the ability to build out a staff and the organization which the Giants need DESPERATELY..
Please, please bake into your contract...  
bw in dc : 1/21/2022 12:05 pm : link
that you have delegation of authority to:

1) Hire your HC
2) Run ALL football operations with hiring and firing power
3) Have final say on draft selections
4) Chris Mara either reports to you or gives up his title

Now, the work begins. My immediate focus is to hire a head coach, with who I will work in lockstep with to create a collaborative environment for our football operations. We will cast a wide net, it can be former head coaches, first-time head coaches but, more importantly, it has to be a person who possesses the ability to lead an organization and the ability to motivate and develop players. On the personnel side, we will begin to evaluate our roster and prepare for the draft and free agency. Our goal is to build a roster that will be competitive, have depth, and most importantly, win football games.
