It was February 5, 2012. For the second time in four years the New York Giants had beat the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. Up on the winner’s podium were Giants owner Steve Tisch and team General Manager Jerry Reese. At that pinnacle moment, there probably wasn’t a person in Lucas Oil Stadium who would have believed that just a short four and a half years later Reese would be fired with the team in a total rebuild.
Reese had a played such an important role in building the team that won two titles in four years.
