I wanted a change, but I wish him the best.
Classy and well said

I wish him well

Go Giants  
Rocky369 : 12/5/2017 1:46 pm : link
I can dig it.
Completely unappreciated here..  
Sean : 12/5/2017 1:46 pm : link
but he’s had a very good run.
Classy  
Tom from LI : 12/5/2017 1:46 pm : link
I feel bad for him. It sucks. I am sure he will land on his feet again...

Best of luck Jerry

You were a part of some of my favorite sports memories
Classy statement.

Classy.

Best of luck and thanks for the memories Jerry
Smart way to end it  
GeneInCal : 12/5/2017 1:49 pm : link
The last thing he would want to do is blast away at the organization. That is, if he wants another GM job somewhere.
well done...  
BillKo : 12/5/2017 1:49 pm : link
thank you Jerry for all your efforts and helping us to be SB champs twice!
He saved his best bit of communication for last  
Ten Ton Hammer : 12/5/2017 1:51 pm : link
It was never a strong point. I hope that the way he was in the media isn't a reflection of how he handled relationships with players.
Wonder if he wrote it  
Stan in LA : 12/5/2017 1:53 pm : link
Or had someone do it for him. Either way, nice to put his name on it.
It's obvious  
McNally's_Nuts : 12/5/2017 1:54 pm : link
at heart, he is a scout.

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.
Well done Reese  
mfsd : 12/5/2017 1:55 pm : link
class gesture, when I’m sure he’s very emotional
Ernie Accorsi groomed him?  
NoPeanutz : 12/5/2017 1:56 pm : link
that explains the hairdo.
Jerry Reese  
The Greek : 12/5/2017 1:58 pm : link
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  
Joeguido : 12/5/2017 2:01 pm : link
to Mr. Reese. Very classy statement and I'm certain he will get another shot somewhere and I wish him the best.
its a bottom line business, like most  
sundayatone : 12/5/2017 2:01 pm : link
if u do not cover ur draw in sales, its goodbye.
nice statement  
Les in TO : 12/5/2017 2:03 pm : link
he could be bitter or embarrassed, but he chose to express his gratitude to the organization.
Probably killed John Mara  
section125 : 12/5/2017 2:05 pm : link
to let him go. But he was given numerous chances to fix the personnel and get the right mix.

Thanks for 23 or 24 years of doing his best and two Super Bowls.
Far more dignity and class  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 12/5/2017 2:06 pm : link
than many of the people who made comments here yesterday.
McAdoo statement  
Reale01 : 12/5/2017 2:07 pm : link
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.
Thank you, Jerry Reese

It was time to move on, but Reese's time here wasn't all bad. Classy statement from a classy guy.

Wish him well.
Reese is good people. Good guy to have as the face  
Keith : 12/5/2017 2:21 pm : link
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  
moespree : 12/5/2017 2:23 pm : link
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.
That's a way to exit..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 12/5/2017 2:24 pm : link
in a classy way. Reese had a good run here and was ultimately undone by the recent results and the inability to fix the OL.

But he was a good GM and helped us tremendously in the past.
"I would like to remind the fans  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 12/5/2017 2:27 pm : link
that they don't remember who our linebackers were in our Super Bowls."
It was a classy way to leave  
Beer Man : 12/5/2017 2:32 pm : link
by a man who gave many years to this team.
Nice statement and thank you to Reese  
GiantTuff1 : 12/5/2017 2:35 pm : link
Quick. someone pull out the microscope, is there a line in there about which two other guys he liked above McAdoo?
I liked him as a person  
superspynyg : 12/5/2017 2:36 pm : link
I hated him as a GM. Especially at the end.
Very classy  
mrvax : 12/5/2017 2:37 pm : link
and I'm sure he'll find a new opportunity soon. Good luck, Jerry!
Thank you  
steve in maryland : 12/5/2017 2:39 pm : link
for the many fine years of Giant football you gave. I wish you the very best for you and your family.
It's a shame it ended this way  
Banks : 12/5/2017 2:40 pm : link
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.
I still see his arrogance  
twostepgiants : 12/5/2017 2:41 pm : link
If he’s gonna name names in his thank you s-

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)
RE: I still see his arrogance  
twostepgiants : 12/5/2017 2:42 pm : link
Im sorry- I missed Tom Coughlin. My bad. I am wrong here.

Huh??  
FatMan in Charlotte : 12/5/2017 2:43 pm : link
He directly thanked Coughlin in that statement.
Wish it could have been different. Always said  
Blue21 : 12/5/2017 2:44 pm : link
in Reese I Trust. Unfortunetly the last couple years especially this one weren't good.
For a long time  
dpinzow : 12/5/2017 2:48 pm : link
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
He belongs in the

Ring of Honor.
It's Tough  
Arkbach : 12/5/2017 2:58 pm : link
to last in any company or organization twenty-three years. Long time senior figures change jobs and employers all the time. This was Jerry's time.
nice statement. he deserves respect, was a loyal and mostly successful  
Victor in CT : 12/5/2017 2:59 pm : link
employee for over 20 years. Should have been canned 2 years ago, but as others said, he shouldn't be treated as if he were McAdoosh.
I understand going out with class, like Reese did, but did  
PatersonPlank : 12/5/2017 2:59 pm : link
He have to mention McA**o?
Dang  
HoodieGelo : 12/5/2017 3:05 pm : link
The "Go Giants" at the end got me pretty good. Shame everything went down the way it did...I wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors.
Well done  
RinR : 12/5/2017 3:09 pm : link
Took the high road as I suspected he would.

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
Wish him the best  
WillVAB : 12/5/2017 3:14 pm : link
It was time to move on but his hands were on two teams that brought the fans two of the best SB victories of all time.
I think Jerry would thrive
