Among Giants staff, the coaching group fared only modestly better. Head coach earned a C, reflecting a disappointing season for a club once praised for coaching stability, while offensive coordinator Mike Kafka received a C+, and defensive coordinator Shane Bowen tied Schoen with a D+. Special teams coach Michael Ghobrial earned a B+ for work on kicking and punting units, despite a revolving kicker situation in 2025.
The Giants’ facilities and support staff received mixed reviews, with Nutritionist/Dietician (A-), Training Staff (B+), and Strength Coaches (B+) rated positively, and Team Ownership (B) judged as solid. However, the locker room was graded a D, underscoring internal concerns that the organization is addressing ahead of future evaluations.
The public release of the report cards remains a point of contention, as the NFL and owners previously won a grievance banning publication by the NFLPA. Nonetheless, Kahler’s reporting brings the leaked assessments to light, prompting scrutiny of front-office decisions and the current coaching and support staff.
Looking ahead, Giants observers will be watching whether leadership changes, including potential shifts in personnel and facilities, translate into improved grades in 2027. The ongoing process of monitoring team performance and internal dynamics suggests the organization will prioritize transparency, stability, and facility improvements in the near term.
