The New York Giants have implemented a head coach-centric organizational structure under John Harbaugh. General Manager Joe Schoen's role has been reduced to primarily overseeing the team's scouting department, while Dawn Aponte has been elevated to senior vice president of football operations and strategy.
Aponte now reports directly to Harbaugh, who himself reports to ownership. Her expanded responsibilities include strategic planning, analytics, salary cap management, player contract negotiations, and compliance. Harbaugh will have final say in personnel matters, though he relies on Schoen's expertise for the day-to-day scouting operations and player evaluation processes.
