There are no absolutes, no one right way and no hard-and-fast rule for how it must be done.
The Giants either will stick with Joe Schoen as their general manager or will not.
Neither scenario would be an unprecedented direction for a franchise.
Based purely on results — wins, losses, playoff berths, standing in the NFC East — moving on from Schoen after four years cannot be considered premature or unwarranted.
