Another Heartbreaking news, as the head coach of New York Giants is been sacked simply because of…
After the once-proud team faltered during a season that featured a franchise-high nine-game losing streak, the New York Giants sacked head coach Pat Shurmur.
In addition, the Giants announced on Monday that general manager Dave Gettleman will be back, even though during his two seasons, the team only won nine games.
Less than a day after the Giants (4-12) lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 34-17 to win the NFC East, co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch told Shurmur of the decision on Monday.
I’ve had numerous in-depth conversations with Steve regarding the Giants’ situation,” Mara stated. “We made the extremely difficult decision this morning that Pat should be relieved of his duties in the best interest of the franchise. Both the organization and our fans have been deeply disappointed by the past three seasons.
The owners, according to Mara, bear some of the blame for the team’s decline, which included 3-13 results in 2017 and 5-11 results in Shurmur’s debut season.
“Our franchise has been through a very trying and disappointing period, which has continued over the last two seasons,” Tisch stated. “Leaving someone the quality of Pat is never simple. However, John and I decided to bring in new leadership after realizing that the coach’s office needed a fresh perspective.
In the last eight years, the four-time Super Bowl winners have missed seven postseason games.
