Does Mara have stones to fire Gettleman ?

Ned In Atlanta : 9/12/2021 8:35 pm
This gesture would go a long way with the fans who are sick and tired of this god awful product. Mara clearly hand picked the Garrett hire which seems like a disaster. It seems clear that we’re headed toward another awful season but firing Gettleman and promising an actual search for a qualified GM that doenst involve John Mara promoting someone or Ernie Accorsi hiring a Giants lifer would go a long way
He has choixe

Fire or retire, let’s go,
I actually think  
cjac : 9/12/2021 8:38 pm : link
That’s a good idea. But not yet. If they’re 2-6 by mid season he needs to do something
Mid season?  
redbeard : 9/12/2021 8:38 pm : link
No chance. We are gonna be subjected to DG and Co until the end of the year

And then when he is fired we will get some retread that the brass is “comfortable with”
So you want Mara making another decision?  
EricJ : 9/12/2021 8:38 pm : link
and you are looking for "gestures" at this point?
He fired Coughlin Reese  
Les in TO : 9/12/2021 8:38 pm : link
McAdoo and Shurmur. He will fire Gettleman and hopefully he learned his lesson and will do a proper GM recruitment this time and not lean on his close network of Ernie Belichick and whoever else is on his group chat.
Simple answer?  
The_Boss : 9/12/2021 8:38 pm : link
No.

And that is why we will continued to be a joke.
He fired Reese who was a 2x SB champ..  
Sean : 9/12/2021 8:39 pm : link
Should have done it after 2019 though.

Better question is, does Mara have the stones to give the job to someone other than Abrams?
That's the wrong question.  
FStubbs : 9/12/2021 8:39 pm : link
Does he have the stones to fire himself, his brother, and his nephew.

That's the correct question.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 9/12/2021 8:39 pm : link
Thank God Rozelle stepped in & handed us GY because we'd be looking at Lions like incompetence.

The Maras are clueless football wise.
Fire him?..tonight?  
Jimmy Googs : 9/12/2021 8:40 pm : link
Why shouldn’t he be made to watch this like we have to...

Does Accorsi have the stones to fire Gettleman?
Gettleman will  
McNally's_Nuts : 9/12/2021 8:47 pm : link
step down, so it doesn’t matter
serious question  
mphbullet36 : 9/12/2021 8:53 pm : link
why does DG get the he will "retire" or "step down" treatment?

He isn't a HOF executive. He's been trash since he's been here he should be fired like any bad executive should be fired.

Yup. Reese didn’t get that treatment, and he is a million times better than Gettleman.

I think he'll retire after the season as well.
You don’t fire someone to placate fans  
Mike from Ohio : 9/12/2021 8:56 pm : link
If you thought Gettleman was the guy for the job at the end of last year and after you let him make all of these off-season moves, you can’t fire him after a single loss. That’s just dumb.

I hope this season is not another lost season like the last several, but if it is, you clean house when the season is lost, not when you are 0-1.

How do you watch today’s shit show and not come to that conclusion? If the Giants were run like an actual business and job status was contingent on performance he would have been gone by now

you trust him to handle the trade deadline? He is going to trade draft capital for win now pieces LOL

Not if they’re sitting with just 1 or 2 wins by that time.

He will get to step down because he didn’t undermine his HOF Coach and QB. I really don’t think he cares either way but that is what will happen if it comes to it but he may just say fire me if you don’t want me here.

Who really care what it’s called. I hope he continues to overcome his cancer regardless.
The funny thing is that Gettleman and Garrett  
Essex : 9/12/2021 9:09 pm : link
are essentially the same hires. They are old and outdated, but they provide some comfort to Mara. I hated Pat Shurmur as a head coach, but at least the offense looked somewhat innovative under him, even if he lacked the rhythm of great play caller. This is just getting absurd. It is freaking demoralizing.
Um

Dinosaur to dinosaur, no. The other issue is, why did Mara tie JJ’s hands with garret? What a fkin shit show!

I do think Mara strongly influenced this. The bigger issue is you canned Garrett’s OL coach and Judge picked Sale in addition to moving Kitchens. Quite a half measure as Mike would say.

I don’t trust Gettleman to do anything right. I was on record last year saying they should have fired him at the end of last year. Mara disagreed and kept him. My question is, if you think he deserved another year, why would you fire him after a single game?

And what GM is coming in here after the last guy was fired after week one when the fans were mostly bullish on his off-season moves?

Gettleman should have been let go last year, but wasn’t. He was given this year so you let him have the year. If they are crashing at the trade deadline you obviously don’t let him start trading draft picks for band aids.
If Jones and Barkley both

stink this year, is there any way Gettleman stays on?
The real question is does Mara have the stones  
arniefez : 9/12/2021 10:03 pm : link
to end the charade and not hire a new GM when Gettleman "retires" since he and his brother and now his nephew are the real GM's?
