The New York Giants 2025 season has almost come to a close.
We’re giving the folks who collect responses and create our graphics a break for the Christmas holiday this week, we only have one question for you. That question is, of course: How confident are you that the Giants are heading in the right direction?
We don’t yet know who will be leading the Giants in 2026, though we’ve heard that they have an early shortlist of candidates.
That list includes:
- Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman
- Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury
- Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo
- Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley
- Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak
We also have to assume that if a current head coach like John Harbaugh or Kevin Stefanski becomes available, they’d jump to the top of the list.
We’ll get clarity on that question soon enough. But opinions also differ on whether the Giants have talented players who are playing poorly or simply a poor roster. The optimistic view is that the good coaching could get the players who have played well in the past to regain — or surpass — their previous form. The pessimistic view is that the roster has little talent and the team needs a full teardown and rebuild.
So where do you come down? Do you think the Giants are a coach away from rebounding, a la the New England Patriots, Chicago Bears, and Jacksonville Jaguars? Or are they more like the New York Jets who need to sell off assets and hope they got the least-bad option for a coach?
