Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn withdrew his name from the Giants’ coaching search after an in-person interview.
because “he’s under contract with another team,” Mara said. Payton, who was a Giants assistant coach from 1999-2002, reportedly has three years remaining on his contract and would have to be acquired via trade. The comfort level between general manager Joe Schoen and Daboll — who worked together for four years with the Bills — “tipped the scales,” Mara said.
Mara favored Flores until near the end of search when he agreed with Schoen’s choice, multiple sources told The Post. But Schoen admitted he nearly went in the direction of Flores, Quinn or Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier rather than the first-timer Daboll. Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post
“Somebody with previous head-coaching experience, that was very attractive to me initially as a first-time GM,” Schoen said. “They know where the pitfalls are, they’ve already made mistakes, so you avoid some of that.” Giants assistant general manager Kevin Abrams did not receive an interview to be GM — as he did when the job was open in 2007 and 2017 — but his place within the organization is secure. Abrams’ background is in managing the salary cap.
Schoen said that if he decides to hire his own right-hand adviser, Abrams has offered to surrender his assistant GM title. “We haven’t crossed that bridge,” Schoen said. “The biggest thing for me is while we’re trying to find assistant coaches, or I’m trying to find my scouting staff, to know that the operations part is taken care of and I can give Kevin something and he can run with it because he’s done it. He’s got contacts in the league, he’s got agent relationships, so I’ve been very impressed with Kevin thus far.
