New York Giants’ John Mara explains firing Pat Shurmur, keeping Dave Gettleman

On Monday morning, Pat Shurmur‘s tenure as the New York Giants head coach came to an end. The organization fired him after he conjured up just nine total wins in two seasons. Big Blue has thus begun the search for a new head coach for 2020 and beyond.

Dave Gettleman, on the other hand, will be retained by the Giants. The general manager has made some head-scratching moves these last two years with New York, which have definitely contributed to the organization’s losing ways. So why did the Giants decide to keep him but not Shurmur?
