Indeed it is a classy statement and we all, I think, feel a little sorry for Jerry. Truth is he just misfired on the draft and on free agents over the last five or so years. I personally wish him nothing but good fortune and look forward to a successor who hits the ground running and helps build a championship team. Good luck Jerry!
Thank you to the Mara and Tisch families. Thank you Jerry Reese. The players tried very hard to execute my well designed schemes, but were not consistent enough to win. The good news is that after watching the film I could see the problems and they are correctable. I tried to address the biggest problem and it cost me my job.
The coaches job is to run excellent practices and looking back you will see from my comments that we did that every week. It is up to the players to execute in to the game. They were told to be heavy handed, to protect the Duke, to play complementary football, and to get to manageable third downs. Our defensive coordinator was charged with protecting leads and was not able to do that this year. Now he is the head coach ... just saying.
Go McAdoo!
I will look back fondly on my years with the Giants. I only wish I could have had the right players in place to run my system and that I could have had an opportunity to call the plays for Geno.
of the Giants for so long. He did a very good job here, but like arc said, it was definitely time to move on.
Not happy with how it ended, but I can't really say I feel bad for Reese. He made tons of money, probably walking away with 10M in his 401k and his resume looks great. He will land in another organization pretty quickly.
Reese is not the same boat as the coach that was fired Â
And he does deserve appreciation. I think perhaps overlooked sometimes is how good a job he did before becoming GM. Reese is not without talent and will find another front office job in some capacity, easily.
He deserves the utmost respect. I imagine it had to be rough to leave a place you worked at for over 20 years. It becomes like a second home. I wish him the best of luck.
the motto here was "In Reese We Trust." Good statement. His time was up but for several years he was among the best at his job, especially when he was finding the talent for the 2007 team
I do wish the New York "Football" Giants would stop. There hasnt been a New York Giants baseball team in almost 60 years. Not picking just on Reese; I remember Chris Berman using it all the time.

That's the official name of the team...it's never changing
I wanted a change, but I wish him the best.
He isn't someone who is comfortable being in the public eye. Accorsi lived for it. He was a bad, bad public speaker.
Unfortunately, not a good trait in a general manager in this day and age.
Thanks for 23 or 24 years of doing his best and two Super Bowls.

But he was a good GM and helped us tremendously in the past.
That he thanks Ernie Accorsi (which he should) so he goes back to the past- but doesnt thank Tom Coughlin
He thanks Ben McAdoo (the guy who really got him fired) but doesnt thank Eli Manning.
He didnt thank the 2 people most directly responsible for his 2 Super Bowls.
Im guessing he sees himself as the reason behind his titles and probably blames both Coughlin and Eli (probably who he blames for his firing)
