New York Giants co-owner John Mara said that head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen know exactly what is expected of them for the 2024 NFL season after last year’s lackluster 6-11 finish.
“I obviously want to show significant improvement over last year, but I’m not going to make any specific guarantees or demands,” Mara said when speaking to reporters Thursday. “But they know what I want to see.”
