Giants GM Gettleman retires

New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman is retiring after four seasons in charge, the team announced Monday.

"It was a privilege to serve as the general manager of the New York Giants the last four years and to have spent so many years of my career with this franchise," said Gettleman.

"We obviously have not had the on-the-field success I expected, and that is disappointing. However, I have many fond memories here, including two Super Bowl victories, and I wish the team and organization only the best moving forward. There are many good people here who pour their souls into this organization. I am proud to have worked alongside them."

Head coach Joe Judge reportedly hasn't yet met with Giants ownership amid questions about his future, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

Giants co-owner John Mara said the team will look to hire a successor for Gettleman "who will oversee all aspects of our football operations, including player personnel, college scouting and coaching."

"It is an understatement to say John and I are disappointed by the lack of success we have had on the field," co-owner Steve Tisch said. "We are united in our commitment to find a general manager who will provide the direction necessary for us to achieve the on-field performance and results we all expect."

The 70-year-old Gettleman ends his time with the Giants with a 19-46 record, zero playoff appearances, and no winning seasons.

His career in the NFL spanned 35 years. He first joined the Giants as a scout in 1998 and worked his way into a prominent front-office position before leaving to become the Carolina Panthers' general manager.

He returned to New York after racking up a 40-23-1 record and a Super Bowl appearance in Carolina, but he failed to bring the Giants franchise back to prominence.
