Giant head coach Joe Judge was fired because of …..

After just two seasons in the position, head coach Joe Judge was let go by the New York Giants on Tuesday, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.

Later, the team declared that Judge had been fired and that it would first appoint a general manager, who would then take the lead in finding the next head coach. On Monday, former general manager Dave Gettleman declared his retirement.

Team president John Mara released a statement saying, “Steve (Tisch) and I both believe it is in the best interest of our franchise to move in another direction.” Joe and I had a meeting yesterday afternoon to talk about the team’s situation. Joe and I had our second meeting this afternoon, and it was then that I told him about our choice. We value Joe’s efforts on our behalf.

of the company.

“I stated prior to the season that when we played our final game of the year, I wanted to be confident in the way we were going. We have decided on this because, regrettably, I am unable to make that claim.

“We will hire a general manager and that person will lead the effort to hire a new head coach.”

In an attempt to bring back the grandeur of the past, the 40-year-old Judge was brought on as the newest face on the Big Blue sideline before the 2020 campaign. However, Judge was not granted the chance to coach for a third season, just like Pat Shurmur and Ben McAdoo were before him.

In his two seasons as head coach, Judge’s record was 10-23.

Although the head coaches of the Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears, Miami Dolphins, and Minnesota Vikings were fired within a day of their seasons ending, Judge’s dismissal from the Giants came after two days of meetings with management about the team’s direction.

In 2021, New York finished with a 4-13 record, tying a franchise record for losses in a season. The team ended the season with six straight losses, ending Judge’s tenure. In a similar vein, Judge’s 2020 Giants finished 6-10 after losing their opening five games in Gotham. The Giants showed some life at the end of that inaugural season, and things seemed to be going in the right direction.
