Schoen will speak at 10:00 a.m., followed by Harbaugh at 1:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">This marks the first time Schoen has spoken publicly since Harbaugh&#8217;s introductory press conference in January.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">In the intervening weeks, significant changes have reshaped the team&#8217;s organizational structure. Harbaugh, hired after negotiating a direct reporting line to co-owner John Mara, has shifted the traditional GM-led model. Dawn Aponte was brought in as senior vice president of football operations and strategy, overseeing analytics, salary-cap management, contract negotiations, compliance, and strategic planning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Aponte reports directly to Harbaugh rather than Schoen, whose role has been largely refocused on scouting and personnel evaluation amid Harbaugh&#8217;s expanded influence over football operations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Harbaugh has been highly visible since his arrival, conducting numerous local and national interviews while emphasizing collaboration. Tuesday&#8217;s sessions come as the team gears up for the 2026 NFL draft and free agency, periods critical for roster building under the new dynamic.<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Schoen is expected to face questions about the restructured front office and his ongoing contributions, while Harbaugh will likely discuss draft strategy, potential free-agent targets, and his vision for turning around the franchise.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"gnt_em_cp_cw_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1771758926_971_86373428007-square-1.jpg\" data-gl- decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feb. 21, 2026, 6:05 a.m. ET New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen and head coach John Harbaugh&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":768762,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2067],"tags":[95878,7,519,1917,56,2321,2469,6,96069,96070,95882,95945,95891,95895,96684,95906,96071,95883,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-768761","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-giants","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-giants","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-giants","13":"tag-newyork","14":"tag-newyorkgiants","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-sstssportsnflgiants","17":"tag-sstsngiants","18":"tag-tagamerican-football","19":"tag-tagjohn-harbaugh","20":"tag-tagnew-york-giants","21":"tag-tagnfl-hub","22":"tag-tagnfl-scouting-combine","23":"tag-tagoverall-positive","24":"tag-tagsmg-timely","25":"tag-tagsports-news","26":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116113999735428678","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/768761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=768761"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/768761\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/768762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=768761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=768761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=768761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
