NFL Rumors: Another key Bills member could follow Joe Schoen to the Giants
The New York Giants had two positions within the organization that they needed to hire. A general manager and a head coach. On Friday morning, the team hired Buffalo Bills assistant general manager Joe Schoen as their next general manager. He will take the position following Dave Gettleman's retirement after four years leading the front office.
Joe Schoen will now join in on the hiring process as the New York Giants search for a new head coach. This is an important decision for any team, but specifically the Giants. They have failed to retain a head coach for more than two seasons since two-time Super Bowl winning coach Tom Coughlin held the position from 2004-2015.
Joe Judge was fired last week after two seasons with the team. Before him was Pat Shurmur, who also had a two-year tenure.
Rumor has it that Joe Schoen may not have to look too far to find a food coaching candidate and could opt to hire a former colleague of his from the Buffalo Bills.

Daboll won five Super Bowls with the New England Patriots during his tenure with the team. In two different stints with the New England Patriots, he spent time as a defensive assistant, a wide receivers coach and then a tight ends coach.
