Dave Gettleman, the general manager of the New York Giants, announced his retirement on Monday.
The co-owners said a search for a new general manager will begin immediately.
Mara said in a statement that the search for the next general manager would be comprehensive. "We are looking for a person who can lead and communicate, someone who will oversee all aspects of our football operations, including player personnel, college scouting and coaching."
John and I are disappointed by the lack of success we have had on the field. We are united in our desire to find a general manager who will provide the direction necessary for us to achieve the on-field performance and results we all expect.
The Giants did not mention the status of Joe Judge in their announcement. Judge was expected to return in 2022, despite the Giants' last-place finish this season, according to a report by Adam Schefter.
The Giants lost at least 10 games in all four of Gettleman's seasons as GM.
"It was a pleasure to serve as the general manager of the New York Giants the last four years and to have spent so many years of my career with this franchise," Gettleman said in the statement released by the team. We have not had the on-the-field success that I expected. I have fond memories of this place, including two Super Bowl victories, and I wish the team and organization the best. There are many good people here. I am proud to have worked with them.
Gettleman was hired to replace Jerry Reese. He was the Giants' fourth general manager since 1979 and leaves with the shortest and least successful tenure of the bunch.
Gettleman was retained in 2020 because Mara and Tisch thought he deserved a chance to finish what he started. The head coach spoke highly of his working relationship with Gettleman and other key members of the front office late in the 2020 season.
The results were the same. The Giants finished their eighth losing season in nine years under Gettleman.
The decision to stick with Eli Manning was the first thing he did in his tenure. In each of his first two seasons, Barkley rushed for over 1,000 yards, but his 2020 season ended after two games because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament, and his production was limited in 2021.
Gettleman selected Daniel Jones with the sixth overall pick in the draft, hoping he had found a franchise quarterback to succeed Manning. Jones has struggled with turnovers. He missed the last six games of the season because of a neck injury.
The Giants signed Beckham to a five-year extension worth up to $95 million and then traded him to the Cleveland Browns in a multi-team deal.
Kenny Golladay, who signed a four-year, $72 million contract in 2021, and offensive tackle Nate Solder, who signed a four-year, $62 million contract in the same year, have failed to deliver on their hefty price tags.
The Giants' general manager at the time, Dave Gettleman, was a cancer survivor and spent most of his first season being treated. The former high school coach joined the franchise in 1998. He was promoted to pro personnel director the following year. He was a pro personnel analyst for the final season of his first stint with the team. He was the general manager of the Carolina Panthers from 2013 to 2017.
Gettleman began his career with the Buffalo Bills. He has worked for seven Super Bowl teams, including three winners.
