Sources Close to Giants Reveal Jaxson Dart's Influence on Next Head Coach Search May be Limited.
The New York Giants' decision to bypass quarterback Jaxson Dart when selecting the next head coach raises eyebrows about the team's approach to player empowerment. According to insiders, Joe Schoen, the current general manager, acknowledged that while Dart has valuable insights, his input may be taken into account "if he has an opinion." However, Schoen also emphasized that with 20+ years of experience in the league and a network of contacts, the team will lean on more seasoned voices rather than young players.
While it's hard to see this decision as anything other than obvious, it marks a shift from the Giants' approach under former coach Brian Daboll. The team has been praised for making talented rookies like Malik Nabers feel valued and included in key decisions. However, Dart's limited involvement in the head coaching search suggests that the Giants may be navigating a fine line between recognizing player expertise and maintaining control over key personnel decisions.
