Co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch took the first step toward fixing the dysfunctional New York Giants on Monday, handing coach Ben McAdoo and GM Jerry Reese their walking papers. As uncomfortable as it is telling someone face-to-face that they no longer have a job that was the easy part.
Mara admitted Monday that he and Tisch knew “wholesale changes needed to be made to this organization.”
Now comes the hard part. Getting the right general manager and coach to effect those changes and help the Giants climb out of the embarrassing pit they have fallen, or maybe jumped headlong, into.
