The New York Giants have endured many downs over the past decade, which has led to a tough working environment in East Rutherford.
Due to the constant turnover, employees and staff around the team’s facility have found themselves in a relentless cycle of meeting and adjusting to new people. And while respect has always flowed from one side to the other, the lack of stability has been trying.
Following the retirement of general manager Dave Gettleman and the termination of head coach Joe Judge, the team’s employees are once again dealing with change. This time however, the arrival of general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll has led to a more positive environment.
Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports that the new leading duo are very “hands-on” with the team’s employees, leading to a more pleasant vibe.
Heard today that #Giants Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll are noticeably hands-on with all staff and employees in building, not just with other coaches and executives. Creating a ‘fun’ vibe in building

This news is not necessarily a knock on Gettleman, Judge, Pat Shurmur or even Ben McAdoo, but more a testament to the change in personalities that now run the show.
Gettleman was viewed in public as blunt and standoffish, while Judge ran a tight ship — especially with his coaches. And although he did go out of his way to procure large Christmas bonuses for the team’s support staff, he was far less interactive than Schoen and Daboll appear to be.
If the Giants truly wish to change their culture, Schoen and Daboll are going about it the right way. And early returns sound positive.
