Giants Fire Joe Judge, But Their Problem Is Bigger Than Head Coach – Orange County Register

The team said the Giants fired Joe Judge on Tuesday.

Judge was eliminated with a 10-23 record over two seasons. He was the third coach in a row that the Giants fired during or after their second season with the team.

The Giants is a rudderless franchise with poor ownership and no idea how to get rid of their unrelated hamster wheel.

They gave Dave Gettleman 19-46 an honorary discharge on Sunday, only to beat Judge out the door two days later.

Their general manager interviews began Wednesday morning with Joe Schoen of the Buffalo Bills.

Co-owner John Mara released a statement on Tuesday night:

“Steve [Tisch] and I both believe it’s in our best interest to move our franchise in a different direction. We met with Joe yesterday afternoon to discuss the state of the team. I met Joe again this afternoon, and it was during that conversation that I informed Joe of our decision. We appreciate Joe’s efforts on behalf of the organization.

“I said before the start of the season that I wanted to feel good about the direction we were heading when we played the last game of the season,” added Mara. “Unfortunately, I can’t make that statement, which is why we made this decision.”

The Giants’ 22-59 record over the past five years is tied for the worst in the league against the Jets. Coaching is not the why.
