The New York Giants have seen many downs over the last decade, which has made East Rutherford a challenging place to work.
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. Although respect has always flowed from both sides, the lack stability has been difficult.
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. The team’s employees are now more at ease with the arrival of Joe Schoen, general manager, and Brian Daboll as head coaches.
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.

This is not a knock on Judge Pat Shurmur, Gettleman, or Ben McAdoo. It’s more a testimony to the change of personalities that now runs 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.
Schoen and Daboll are doing the right thing if the Giants really want to change the culture. Early returns are positive.
