For years, the Giants preferred promoting from within, going with front office hires with ties to the franchise. Schoen broke that mold.
If it is true that a rising tide lifts all boats, the Giants — if the upward trend that was spawned last year continues this season and beyond — will have plenty of contributors to the success of the franchise moving on to bigger things.
“It’s a kitchen sink, actually,’’ Brown said last week. “It hasn’t changed. It’s been the same throughout where I’ve been fortunate with my relationship with Joe. It’s everything from us doing the renovation on the draft room and free agency and trade talks and contracts — all those things fall under the umbrella.
Kevin Abrams, a longtime Giants front office executive , was the assistant general manager for 20 years and now is the senior vice president of football operations and strategy. In Brown’s first year in his new surroundings, the Giants produced their first winning record in six seasons and achieved their first playoff victory in a decade.
Not only does Schoen have to be on the same page with his entire personnel department, there also has to be consensus-building between the front office and coaching staff. That does not leave much time for Brown as the assistant GM to be out in front of the public. He was made available one morning during the mandatory minicamp in mid-June.
