Joe Schoen, hired Friday as general manager of the New York Giants, knows that getting the job was only the beginning. “Now, the work begins” he said in a statement released by the team.
The work of resuscitating a team that has had five straight losing seasons and has made one playoff appearance since 2011 will be arduous. Here are five things Schoen needs to do fairly quickly.
Hire a new head coach
This is priority one. And Schoen knows it.
“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,” Schoen said in that statement from the Giants.
