It might not be working, but he's at least doing things and not standing pat.
If using a turn-style model for personnel is "trying," you are correct. He has great skill in firing players. His ability to find better players, however, is questionable.
Case in point: the punt returner. He canned Hunter Sharp and brought in players that should not be in the NFL. Now, after having committed $90 million to Odell Beckham, he and Shurmur use Beckham for PR duties. If Beckham gets injured, the Giants have even bigger problems than they do now, at 1-5. Gettleman wisely dumped Okwara and Kennard, who are doing better in Detroit than any Giants defenders are doing in NY. Great move by a talent expert.
It is becoming clear why Reese beat Gettleman in the first beauty contest for GM. Now that Reese has proven to be a disaster, promote the loser of the first contest. After all, they are the only two candidates for a GM position.
Wasn't that fine worthy?
