Giants push owner-led, collaborative overhaul as Harbaugh and Schoen outline new structure
At the NFL Scouting Combine, Giants coach John Harbaugh and GM Joe Schoen framed a collaborative, owner-driven restructuring: Harbaugh reports to ownership with Dawn Aponte as Senior VP of Football Operations and Strategy reporting to him, while Schoen stresses his continued role as GM and a unified approach to drafts, contracts, and hires. The parties reference a “agree to agree” mindset to align personalities and processes, aiming to integrate analytics, salary-cap work, and coaching with minimal silos. The discussion also touched on Steve Tisch’s involvement in outside matters, with both declining further comment, and Harbaugh emphasizing system-building to ensure all veteran play-callers work in concert.
