The Giants, who missed the playoffs this year for the fifth time in six seasons and lost 13 games for the first time in the team’s 92-year history, completed the second major step in a sweeping overhaul on Monday by naming Pat Shurmur as the franchise’s new head coach.
Last month, Dave Gettleman was named the team’s new general manager. Gettleman recently held the same position with the Carolina Panthers.
Shurmur, who comes to the Giants from the Minnesota Vikings, where he thrived as an offensive coordinator, will be charged with resurrecting a roster short on depth.
