Giants owner John Mara says brother, Chris, isn't a general manager candidate

Giants co-owner John Mara dropped a few hints that the front-office changes may not be quite as "wholesale" as first indicated.

Mara was asked if he expects the general manager who replaces Jerry Reese to completely overhaul the front office.

"I think that's going to be largely up to the new GM," Mara said. "And we did go through this, back in '07 when Jerry was hired. We kept most of the people and I'm not anticipating there being wholesale changes. But again, that's largely going to be up to the new general manager."

That answer ran counter to Mara's overriding theme when explaining the decision to fire Reese and head coach Ben McAdoo on Monday with four games remaining in a miserable season.
