Gettleman will retire, the judge stays as a HC.

Dave Gettleman "retired" as general manager of the New York Giants on Monday after four dreadful years on the job. The Giants had a 19-46 record during his tenure.
He leaves behind a roster filled with holes.
The search for a replacement can't possibly come from within, no matter how competent or respected the assistant GM or co-director of player personnel is.
The Giants need new ideas. They need an audit. They need to avoid the Eli Manning-benching level of blowback that would come with hiring from within. They need the next GM to be someone who isn't part of their family, or someone who wants to relive the good old days when they were actually winning.
Mara and Steve Tisch respect Accorsi's opinion, but they won't consult him. Accorsi has been out of the league for 16 years. His advice helped steer them in the wrong direction.
This approach of hiring from within has led to five straight double-digit loss seasons, with one playoff appearance and zero playoff wins, and produced Jerry Reese and Dave Gettleman, who both were Giants scouts.
At his introductory news conference, Gettleman didn't hide Accorsi's influence.
"I would like to thank the Mara family, the Tisch family, and the other people who helped me get to this point," Gettleman said immediately after taking the podium.
This time has to be different because Gettleman's tenure was a disaster on almost every front. He has left the Giants with questions at quarterback, a worse offensive line than when he arrived, an injury-filled roster and a salary-cap situation that will hamper their ability to upgrade next season.
On the same page.
If the Giants realign their organization it would help. This hasn't happened for a long time.
The coach Joe Judge and the coach Dave Gettleman were not compatible from the start. Judge came two years later than Gettleman. Imagine how much younger, more outspoken, first-time head coach coming from the New England Pats would have felt about being with a head of personnel who wasn't shy about referring to himself as a dinosaur.
The Giants need to get everyone on the same page from top to bottom in order to be successful.
The Giants have lost at least 10 games in each of the past four seasons.
It's imperative that the Giants get this because it's possible that they could pair Judge with a new general manager who has a similar approach, like Tennessee's Monti Ossenfort or New England's Dave Ziegler.
The Giants need everyone on the same page to avoid Judge having to kick and scream to get the players he wants in free agency or the draft, and to avoid making every decision go through so many layers of Maras and Tisches. It's been a long time since the Giants have been relevant.
There are draft troubles.
The Giants' lack of success in the draft has been a big part of the problem. Gettleman began by rolling it back with an aging Manning at quarterback and then selecting Saquon Barkley with the 2nd overall pick in the NFL draft. How did that happen? The selection of Duke quarterback Daniel Jones is almost as good as the selection of a football player.
If these were the only major mistakes, Gettleman's tenure would have been easy to complete.
The signing of offensive tackle Nate Solder from New England for a then-record $15.5 million per year in the 2018? It was a laughable move, and nothing has vindicated Gettleman since.
