EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman announced his retirement Monday after four seasons on the job.
Co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch said a search for a new general manager will begin immediately.
"This will be a comprehensive search for our next general manager," Mara said in a statement. "We are looking for a person who demonstrates exceptional leadership and communication abilities, somebody who will oversee all aspects of our football operations, including player personnel, college scouting and coaching."
Tisch added in the statement: "It is an understatement to say John and I are disappointed by the lack of success we have had on the field.
