Bye week Tarot, coaching search and Shoen’s job security

I’m bored so I thought I’d do a quick little tarot pull to see how the coaching search will/is going and will Joe Shoen keep his job.

Knight of Swords reversed for the coaching search
The upright Knight of Swords is fast, aggressive, decisive, and impulsive. Reversed, that energy flips.

This usually means
slow process
delays
miscommunication
second guessing
internal disagreements
a lack of clarity
changes of direction

For the Giants coaching search, this fits almost perfectly with a few themes.

It suggests the team may not move quickly.
There might be conflicting opinions in the building.
Names may come up, then drop off.
They may change course halfway through the search.

Reversed Knights also often hint that someone expected to be a strong contender may fall out of the running or be less impressive behind the scenes than anticipated.

Overall, Knight of Swords reversed says the coaching process will not be clean, fast, or straightforward. Expect delays, pivots, or a search that feels like it lacks momentum or a clear direction at times.

Now for the second question.

The Hermit upright for Joe Schoen keeping his job.
The Hermit is wisdom, introspection, solitude, and a figure who survives because of experience and inner guidance. It is not a card of someone getting pushed out. It is a card of staying power, grounding, reflection, and steady leadership.

Symbolically, it says
he retreats
he evaluates
he keeps searching for answers
he remains the guiding figure
he is not removed
he continues the long term plan

The Hermit upright almost always indicates a stable position, especially when the question is “Will someone still have their job?”.

This card says yes, he likely remains. It shows continuity. It suggests ownership gives him room to reflect, reset, and regroup rather than firing him.

It also hints that his role may feel more solitary, meaning he may be carrying more of the burden or doing more internal work, but still in charge.

Combined message
The coaching search may hit bumps, delays, or confusion.
But the Giants leadership structure, specifically Joe Schoen, stays intact.
The Hermit says long term plan. Knight of Swords reversed says the process is messy but not destructive.
