John Mara said he "obviously wasn’t thrilled" with the press conference that included Joe Judge's 11-minute rant, "But I can’t say there was one specific act that was a last straw. It was a culmination of things. ...

(More Mara) "... It just got to the point where we dug a hole so deep I didn’t see a clear path getting out of it unless we started all over again."
Why should Giants fans trust John Mara will get things right this time? Said Mara: "Well, I haven’t given them any reason to believe that. It’s up to Steve and I to make the right choices going forward to earn back their trust. That is not going to be an overnight process."
John Mara said he's not looking for a GM/coach to come as a "package deal".
"I want to go through a complete process and interview as many people as possible," he said. "I don’t want to rush into anything. We’ve made that mistake in the past."
John Mara said he feels "very good" about his pool of GM candidates and believes he can make the right choice. "Obviously I don’t expect a lot of people to believe that given what’s happened over the last few years," he said.

John Mara said "I still think there is a good head coach inside Joe Judge" but he wanted to give the new GM flexibility to start over with a new one.
John Mara said that Chris Mara spends most of his time doing evaluation of college players and he particiaptes in the draft but all personnel decisions have been made by the GM and HC. #Giants
and we cannot even hear or watch the owner's press conference. In the end, not surprising when you step back and see what kind of a shit show everything related to this team has become.
John Mara said the now-famous back-to-back QB sneaks in the finale "weren’t my favorite play calls in the world. But that was just one minor factor in the overall scheme of things."
Said John Mara: "All personnel decisions in this building have ben made by the GM and head coach. When they agree on a personell decision they come to me with it, and if they both agree, I OK it."
He said the only time he'll overrule them is if there's an off-field conduct issue
John Mara downplayed the influence of his brother, Chris Mara, in the organization, saying his only role is to help with the evaluation of college prospects.
John Mara: "This is a very desirable job. I think this is an organization people want to work for."
John Mara said no one has turned down any interview requests yet.

Follow up Question should have been "With such poor results from drafts pick results how do you justify NOT FIRING HIM?"

Participating in the draft is participating in personnel decisions.
Both John and Chris are in the draft preparation room with the GM.
And absurd to think that their personnel involvement stops at the draft.
The questions about Chris are a distraction from the fact that John himself has far more practical say over personnel decisions.
Asked if this is the most embarrassed he's ever been about the state of the Giants' franchise, John Mara said: "Honestly, I would have to say yes. Yes it is. I kept thinking during the season we had hit rock bottom, then each week it got a little worse."

Tiki and Tierney on now but I don't hear them alluding to JM coming on. Link - ( New Window )
They just said John Mara is not on yet. Assume that they will carry it.
Giants told WFAN that they are not allowed to air Mara live.
Yup, sounds like they will be airing it after completion (15-20 mins)
What we need are tough questions, good answers and transparency.
Mara is anything but that.
Geez!
If the presser is going to be aired right after it's over, it's not like they're going to have time to edit it much. So what's the point?

John Mara says Chris Mara is in the interviews because he is part of ownership but Steve Tisch and John will make final decision #Giants

Q: Is this the lowest moment you’ve had being with the #NYG?
John Mara: “Honestly, I would have to say yes. I kept thinking during the season we had hit rock bottom — and each week, it got worse.”
