When does Chirs Marra step down??????

Chris L. : 10/17/2021 3:39 pm
Simply can't have the son of the owner as VP of player personnel. Forget about the role he does or doesn't have at the very best it looks bad and appearances matter! What good GM candidate wants to come here when they think the owner's kid has a say in the personnel? Answer...none. You want to make a move that shows the fans something...make that move!!!!
never

ever
Yeah and that is  
Chris L. : 10/17/2021 3:40 pm : link
probably the biggest problem of all
Absolutely correct..

VP of Player Personnel is a title which needs to be earned. He should also face media scrutiny. Chris Mara should be fired from that role.
He's not the son of the owner  
JB_in_DC : 10/17/2021 3:51 pm : link
he is the owner.
It's a legitimate question.

I don't think the Mara family is willing to step back from the family business. It's not like they have another business to run.

Steve Tisch hasn't showered himself with glory during his time as Giants co-owner but I will give him credit for this: He doesn't talk much and he doesn't seem to interfere with the football operation. Yes, he brings a date to the stadium and sits in the owners box drinking champagne. I'd rather have that than what we are getting with the Mara family.
Chris Mara

Yeah, that’s the ticket. He’s the problem. Good golly.
Valid question  
weeg in the bronx : 10/17/2021 4:06 pm : link
What exactly is his role and responsibilities? Does he have any say above the GM on football operations? Certainly, form an organizational standpoint, its blow up time.
When he dies.

Uh, Director of Player personnel, sure he does something

I'd rather

John steps down.

Bring in a football mind to run the football side of business, and let him decide if Chris should have a nameplate, or a role.

That's a pipe dream, though.
Some people obviously don't get the point  
Chris L. : 10/17/2021 4:42 pm : link
that it doesn't matter what he does or doesn't do. The appearance is bad. Appearances matter when you are trying to bring in an outside guy to be your new GM. That person doesn't want to be in a situation where they have to worry about whether or not a family member is going to be medaling in the football operations.
Chris wishes he'd medaled

in anything.

He’s a massive part of the problem. This is the guy in charge of picking players. Id say that’s a big part of the problem.
So it’s either

Chris Mara has influence and is bad at his job, or according to the Giants Can’t Do Wrong crowd he has the title of Director with no influence.

Newsflash, both are bad.
Take the same paycheck and go travel or be a ball boy  
bubba0825 : 10/17/2021 5:56 pm : link
But VP of anything in this organization is bs at this point and unfair to paying season ticket holders
When does hell freeze over?  
Bill in UT : 10/17/2021 6:00 pm : link
Possibly, he goes at some point after that.

.

If I’m not mistaken he took over as VP of player personnel the season after 46. Meaning we went from the super bowl to the worst team In the league right at his inception.

And let’s not forget we drafted David Wilson with that first pick at the end of the first round. A total head scratcher. I know Chris isn’t the GM, but you have to wonder how much say he had in that.
Chris Mara threads are my favorite

He has the same job as Ernie Adams
